Wearing a bandit mask, he walked out of the darkness.
Hunter skillfully put away the Sniper Laika Crossbow and returned it to his private space.
He took out a pistol equipped with a silencer and walked along the beach toward the fallen international Thief, Max.
Although Hunter was certain that his previous arrow had absolutely pierced through the target's body, he still had to confirm whether the target was dead.
Hunter walked quickly and soon arrived at the target's location.
After maxing out his Shooting skill, he had become increasingly fond of using bows and crossbows.
With his current abilities, even when using a crossbow, he could hit the target every time within a range of three to five hundred meters.
Of course, the power of an arrow after traveling three to five hundred meters was clearly incomparable to that of a bullet.
But a specially made crossbow was actually quite powerful.
Anyway, Hunter liked it because the noise of a crossbow was very small.
When an arrow was fired, although there was a slight sound of air being pierced, it was naturally worlds apart compared to the sound of a sniper rifle.
If it were on a night like this, Hunter even had the confidence to single-handedly wipe out a heavily guarded estate.
Soon, he arrived at Max's side.
Hunter raised his gun and aimed at Max.
Although, looking at the pool of blood on the ground, he was basically certain that this guy was beyond saving, he still reached out and checked his neck.
After confirming that the guy had fallen into shock due to excessive blood loss, and barring any accidents, would surely die within a minute or two.
Hunter stopped paying attention to Max and walked straight toward a dilapidated seaside pier not far away.
That was a dilapidated seaside pier located within Max's seaside villa.
It extended from the beach out into the sea for a distance of five or six meters.
This kind of pier was generally used for docking small yachts or for fishing.
There was a similar structure at the seaside villa Hunter had rented.
Therefore, the pier was actually quite unremarkable.
But Hunter had been observing here for a while just now, and he had seen it very clearly.
After Max arrived at the seaside, he had fumbled around under the pier for a period of time.
He didn't know what the other party was doing, but clearly, there was something strange about the pier.
Quickly walking under the pier, Hunter recalled Max's actions just now.
He looked at the footprints on the sand under the pier, and soon, he arrived at one of the pier's pilings.
That piling was a very thick log, with one end deeply inserted into the sand, looking unremarkable.
However, Hunter remembered that not long ago, Max had walked here alone in the middle of the night and fumbled around for a while.
Whether arriving or leaving, Max had carefully observed his surroundings, only approaching and leaving when he was sure no one was around.
Even in the middle of the night, on his own private beach, he was like this.
This made Hunter suspect that there was something strange here.
After getting close and carefully examining the wooden pillar under the pier for a while, a smile soon appeared on Hunter's face.
"Sure enough, there's something strange!"
He saw that on the wooden pillar Max had fumbled with earlier, there was a hole that was not easy to notice.
Someone had drilled a hole in the wooden pillar, but because it was blocked by a piece of wood taken from the log itself, unless an average person noticed Max's abnormality and came over to check carefully, they really wouldn't notice the trick here.
Realizing all this, Hunter immediately took out a set of tools from his private space.
After quickly removing the wooden plug blocking the hole, he immediately discovered a black bag stuffed into a small space artificially chiseled out inside the wooden pillar.
Hunter skillfully took out the bag; it didn't feel heavy in his hand.
However, when he opened the bag, with the help of the moonlight, Hunter saw clearly that inside the bag were three gems, almost identical in size and shape.
They were gems of at least thirty carats or more, flashing with a strange light under the moonlight.
Even though Hunter's net worth had already reached over a billion us dollar, facing these three dazzling gems, for a moment, his breathing still couldn't help but become heavy.
"Huh, these three gems look somewhat familiar."
"Could these be the Napoleon gems that have been touring around with that luxury cruise ship recently?"
"How could they be with Max?"
"Could he have already stolen them? But why haven't I heard a whisper about it?"
When Hunter went to book tickets to the Dominican Republic yesterday, he had seen the relevant publicity about the Napoleon gems.
It was said that on that luxury cruise ship, there were three precious gems that once belonged to the French Emperor Napoleon on display with the luxury cruise...
It was said that each of the three gems was worth at least tens of millions of us dollar.
Because the three gems were not only identical in size and style, but were also very rare colored gems.
A billionaire had even offered three hundred million us dollar for them, but failed to buy them.
Never did he think that these three gems had actually been stolen by Max.
And now, they had fallen into Hunter's lap.
With an unexpected windfall in hand, his already good mood became even better.
Quickly putting the gems into his private space, Hunter plugged the wooden hole back onto the wooden pillar.
After finishing all this, he quickly left Max's villa.
After taking a long detour, he finally returned to the seaside villa he had rented on the island.
Then, he took out the laptop issued to him by the Continental Hotel, informed the hotel that the mission was complete, and asked them to send someone to verify the progress of the mission.
Hunter immediately took a shower, returned to the bedroom, and, snuggling up to Shan who was still sleeping soundly, quickly drifted off to sleep himself.
The next morning, not long after dawn, there was a knock at the door.
Hunter, who was already awake and making breakfast, walked out without even taking off his apron.
At first glance, he saw a police officer in uniform standing there with a staff member from the Atlantis Resort.
"Hello, sir, sorry to bother you."
"A homicide occurred on the island last night."
"Therefore, we are conducting a personnel check across the island. May I see your passport?"
Clearly, the police knew Hunter was a tourist who had been on the island for some time and had no criminal record, so their attitude was quite polite.
"Alright, please wait a moment!"
Since joining the Continental Hotel, Hunter had spent a few gold coins to have someone there procure several sets of fake passports for him.
