Chapter 715 A New Lover
Upon seeing the islander rushing toward Fiona, Cyrus's first thought was that the islander would harm her. Without much hesitation, Cyrus took a step forward and grabbed the person's clothes, pulling him back forcefully. Because of the excessive force, the islander's forward momentum caused him to lose balance, and he ended up sitting on the ground in pain, wailing.
"Cyrus, what are you doing?" The man's wife, witnessing the situation, ran over frantically and pushed Cyrus aside, quickly checking on her husband's condition. Cyrus himself was somewhat stunned.
Cyrus instinctively looked over at Fiona. The beautiful woman's gaze was fixed upon him. Cyrus immediately panicked and averted his gaze.
"Are you two all right? Do you need a doctor?" Fiona asked.
"We don't need your fake kindness!" The man's wife glared at them fiercely.
Over the years, with the increasing number of tourists coming to the island, everyone's income has improved. These Armie people who had suddenly appeared thought they could drive them away with their wealth. Who gave these people the right to do so? The indigenous people were the ones who had been living on this island!
Fiona noticed the situation and withdrew her gaze, no longer paying attention to them. She walked toward the pier with the two deep-sea botanists.
"Cyrus, have you gone crazy? Why did you pull me like that? Were you trying to hurt me?" The man who fell to the ground regained his senses and began cursing at Cyrus, pointing his finger at him.
"I haven't asked you yet. What were you trying to do just now?" Cyrus lowered his voice and asked.
Not far away were some volunteers. However, ever since Fiona arrived, the volunteers deliberately kept their distance from the islanders.
The man's eyes flickered for a moment, then he confidently said, "No matter what I do, I was trying to protect our island, to protect our home!"
Cyrus's heart sank. As he had suspected, this man wanted to harm Fiona.
"You're so foolish!" Cyrus grew impatient. "Do you know what those people around her are for? Even before you get to her, they will kick you away!"
Christopher thought about yesterday evening when a leg almost swept across his face.
"What can I do? She has also brought some nonsense professors and experts. What if they say corals are not worth cherishing? We will end up being driven away!"
Cyrus remained silent. In fact, Blaise had mentioned it to him before. Even if the coral turned out not to be precious, it wouldn't matter. There were rainforests with countless plants and animals, and by finding some rare ones, they could still promote the conservation of plants this way. They could delay their development for a while. With so many workers on the island, every day wasted was a day of burning money for Solomon's corporation. When Solomon couldn't bear it any longer, they could sit down and negotiate, not denying them the resort's construction but providing a coexistence plan for the indigenous people who didn't want to leave the island.
They would continue to debate if they couldn't come up with a good solution.
There were so many plants and animals to be identified.
The islanders around them were making a fuss.
Cyrus remained silent, his gaze fixed on the figure with a strong presence among the crowd.
There were too many similar corals.
But there were very few cherished ones.
The two teams of professors went to the Coral Sea and carefully filmed the environment on-site. Then, they carefully collected samples.
The samples would be taken back to the laboratory for further analysis.
They wanted to determine whether the corals were rare or if they were a completely new species.
Fiona didn't go with them.
She was waiting over by the pier.
At that moment, Burl's live stream was attracting internet users from all over the world.
Most of them were netizens from Armie.
But they weren't there to be online bodyguards. They were there because someone had come to tell them that Fiona could be seen on the livestream.
Burl, the little angel, had actually added a small window to the live stream to capture the pier.
[Has Fiona lost weight? She looks like the wind could blow her away!]
[Don't exaggerate. She looks super cool now!]
[I‘ve just finished reading the story behind all this. Some netizens really have no brains. Mr. Solomon spent money buying the island and developing it, and he even compensated the original residents. But they stubbornly refused to leave, and Mr. Solomon became the villain of capitalism.]
[Yeah, they never had property rights on the island in the first place. The land was leased to them by the island owner. Even if they leased it for a lifetime, they still didn't have ownership rights!]
[So, I don't understand what the netizens are complaining about?]
[What else can they complain about? Having money is the original sin.]
[I wonder if Secretary Woods can resolve this controversy. It would be such a waste after spending so much money!]
[Breaking news! Someone discovered that the big shot who was rumored to be dating Fiona has an IP address the same as Fiona!!!]
[No way! I just checked, and it's true!!!]
[Don't spread rumors if you don't know the truth. Harold is pursuing Secretary Woods at most, but she never agreed to it. Don't spread false rumors about a girl!!!]
What else could be said?
Armie's netizen was known as the most amazing gossip hunter in the world. In addition to exposing the romantic relationships of celebrities from various countries, they were also ranked first in digging up all sorts of miscellaneous gossip.
Harold indeed arrived.
He was currently waiting at the harbor for the seaplane.
In the past few months, Harold worked extremely hard.
Harold had been rejected countless times.
But every time, Harold picked up the pieces of his broken heart and continued to strive to get closer.
Harold's mother had said it.
With sincerity, one could move mountains.
Harold would never give up like before, daring not to approach once he was rejected!
After the two expert teams collected the samples, they didn't stay on the island for long. They only left two students behind to continue observing and recording.
After seeing off the two expert teams.
Fiona was ready to go back and rest.
Harold's seaplane had arrived.
"Tourist?" Fiona furrowed her brow slightly.
Soon after, she saw a familiar figure coming down.
Fiona fell silent.
"Fiona!" Harold waved his hand.
Harold wasn’t in his formal suit. At first glance, he looked quite similar to the boy Fiona first on the cruise ship.
Harold excitedly called out Fiona's name. He didn't even bother with his luggage and ran up to Fiona.
Fiona looked at him and sighed helplessly. "Is this what you call a vacation?"
Harold smiled slyly. "It's so beautiful here, perfect for a vacation!"
"Master Klein, everyone knows your intentions," Henry disapproved of Harold.
Mr. Solomon was missing, not dead.
During these past few months, Harold had been busy trying to get close to Secretary Woods.
Everyone in the president's office knew about it.
There was gossip every day.
They even said Harold was cute and handsome.
But Henry didn't think so.
Henry found Harold especially annoying.
Now that he saw him again, Henry felt even more annoyed.
He seemed quite good at pretending to be innocent!
