After coming out of Bivis's room, Emma noticed that Bai Yujing's expression was somewhat off. Once inside the room and closing the door, Bai Yujing immediately threw two gold plates onto the bed.
"What happened?" Emma asked, confused.
Bai Yujing looked gloomy. "The items have been swapped; these two gold plates are fake!"
"How could that be? I didn't notice anything; they look exactly the same as the ones before!" Emma said in disbelief, picking up the two gold plates from the bed and examining them closely. However, no matter how she looked, she couldn't figure out what was wrong!
Bai Yujing quickly replied, "They are identical in appearance, which means the forger was very meticulous. But they can't escape my eyes. Before I compared them, it was fine, but once I did, I realized that the one Bivis has is made with more finesse; the smoothness in the details cannot be replicated!"
Bai Yujing had very sharp eyes and could immediately tell the difference when holding all three gold plates together. At that moment, Bai Yujing knew that their item was fake and had definitely been swapped. Just as he was about to speak, he thought about who could have replaced his item—it must be the forces represented by McLeod Family.
Ultimately, it was this Bivis in front of him. Bai Yujing recalled feeling something was off when he boarded the ship from Norway. It was likely during those two days that the swap occurred while both he and Emma were out of their room and only had a meeting with Bivis.
"Bivis actually used a meeting as a pretext to divert us and make the swap!" Bai Yujing thought, feeling furious.
Emma immediately said, "Are you saying Mr. Bivis did this? Why would he do such a thing?"
Bai Yujing replied, "What else could it be? He must have something to hide. It seems that this time McLeod Family truly has ill intentions; they must have planned this for a long time and were waiting for us here. If I hadn't discovered it early, we might have really fallen into their trap!"
Emma worriedly said, "What should we do? We can't let them get their hands on those items; we must find a way to get them back!"
Bai Yujing held onto Emma's arm. "Emma, there's no need to panic. It's still in their hands anyway; they will definitely need to take the items with them when they act with us later. We will have plenty of opportunities to retrieve them. For now, let's not confront them; let's pretend nothing happened. We still need to rely on them to enter Sky Island. Since we've discovered their little scheme ahead of time, it means their plan has already failed!"

On the third day, a great storm arose at sea. In the midst of strong winds and heavy rain, fishing boats tossed about like leaves on the surface of the ocean, creating a terrifying scene. The captain continuously issued commands to the Sailors, urging everyone to secure themselves.
Finally, after navigating through this treacherous area of sea, the winds calmed down. Everyone emerged from their cabins and stepped onto the deck. As they watched the ship sailing smoothly over the calm waters, everyone felt a sense of relief from having survived a disaster. Bai Yujing was also quite shaken; he almost thought they would capsize in this vast ocean and meet their end in fish bellies.
Emma appeared very calm, truly a child raised by the sea. Did she naturally possess the talent and adventurous spirit of a Sailor?
"Is it already the wind season? How can there be such huge waves at this time?" Emma had studied the climate changes here.
The captain approached at that moment: "It seems this year's wind season has come earlier; we can't just go out to sea. I somewhat regret taking your job!"
Bivis immediately walked over, took out a new pair of glasses from his pocket, looking somewhat disheveled as he had no idea where his original pair had gone. "Oh, Captain Kavi, we signed a contract, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to see the consequences of breaching it. Besides, the price we offered is enough for you to rest for several years. If you want to receive the remaining payment, you must fulfill the contract!"
Captain Kavi angrily replied, "Damn it, you despicable merchants! How could I have been so foolish to sign a contract with you!"
Bivis showed no signs of backing down: "Everyone must take responsibility for their decisions, wouldn't you agree, Mr. Bai Yujing?"
Bai Yujing shrugged: "Of course, but the premise is that both parties to the contract abide by the agreement!"
"I see land! We have arrived!" At that moment, a Sailor shouted from the side of the ship, drawing everyone's attention. Bai Yujing immediately looked over and saw a small black dot appearing on the horizon, which grew taller and larger as the fishing boat approached.
"Is that Yangmayen Island?" Bai Yujing asked.
Captain Kavi, a native Norwegian with years of deep-sea fishing and sailing experience, had visited Yangmayen Island several times as it was part of Norway. After taking a glance, he immediately said, "That's right, it's Yangmayen Island. We've arrived; you guys can go ashore and rest!"
"Oh oh oh!"
Yangmayen Island was a very desolate little island with no trees. Although large areas were covered in green, it was mostly moss plants. From a distance, one could see a sparsely populated island come into view with steep cliffs where heavy waves continuously crashed against the rocks.
Bai Yujing and the others landed at a dock on the other side of the island. It was then that Bai Yujing noticed some buildings resembling a small town along the shore. Several boats were docked at the pier, among which stood out a pure white vessel over a hundred meters long—very beautiful and striking.
"That’s the Fairy Ship, our Boss's private yacht. It was dispatched for this occasion and is staffed by the Boss's private employees who are more trustworthy than these hired fishermen; who knows if they might suddenly decide to play pirates!" Bivis whispered.
Bai Yujing looked at Captain Kavi and his crew of Sailors, saying, "No way, I think Captain Kavi is pretty good!"
Bivis just smiled. As they landed on the dock, Bai Yujing immediately heard a whistling sound coming from the sky. Looking up, he saw a small jet descending from the Clouds.
The plane's body was white, but its nose was blue, with streamlined lines that made Bai Yujing feel like the aircraft was a shark soaring through the sky. The pilot was even performing tricks above Yangmayen Island, maneuvering the plane with flips and turns, which was simply breathtaking.
"That's really cool!"
"Awesome!"
People on the dock jumped and waved at the plane in the sky as if welcoming a hero, cheering loudly. The plane finally landed at a small airport to the right of the town, crossing the runway before coming to a stop.
Bivis and Bai Yujing approached curiously to see who was piloting the aircraft. Although they had some thoughts and expectations in mind, it felt unlikely given the pilot's age.
Sure enough, the cabin door opened in the middle and split apart, with the lower half dropping to the ground to form Stairs. A young man in his twenties stepped down, causing Bai Yujing to feel disappointed again: "It really isn't Will Hackman."
Unexpectedly, after stepping off the plane, the young man staggered to the side and vomited everywhere. However, a deep and resonant voice came from inside the cabin: "Who says it's not me!"
Will Hackman stepped off the plane in his flight suit and helmet, and Emma immediately cheered like a little bird: "Mr. Hackman!"
"Hi! Handsome young man and beautiful ladies!"
