Soon, the bat returned. Seeing it shake its head, Charles knew at once that the creature hadn't found anything.
"Start up the ship. We'll use this point as the center and search in expanding circles." With the Captain's order, the crew started moving.
The Narwhal scoured a fifty-kilometer area around them but found nothing.
For a moment, Charles was at a loss. If there really was an island here, it should have been visible. According to the description Aaron had given, the Foundation's island was huge, several times larger than Hope Island.
Aaron had no reason to lie, so why can't we find it? How could such a massive island simply vanish?
While Charles was mulling this over, West curiously asked the chef beside him, "What's the Captain looking for?"
"Don't ask. It's better not to ask too much. Just follow the Captain's orders. As long as we get paid, let the Captain handle the rest."
