Age Of Islands: I Can See Through All Things Chapter 17
Advertisement
When the regiment commander came in front of Jack, he took a deep breath and hurriedly said, "Mr. President, good news, good news. The Hunting Squad found a castle on the island."
"A castle?" Jack started.
Then, he looked at the butler beside him.
The butler flushed red under Jack's stare, he had thought Jack knew but just had no time to go.
Now, it seemed like he did not know.
Hence, the butler hurriedly said, "Mr. President, some of the higher quality islands will have all kinds of buildings. It can be seen that your island's quality is very high. There is actually a very rare castle."
Hearing this, Jack nodded.
He really did not know.
After all, he had gotten sponsors in order to get this island.
He did not dare to ask further as he was afraid that they would find out his true motive.
There was no relevant information in the books either.
However, this was good news. Jack had originally planned to organize people to build houses after the food production.
He did not expect the island to produce its own. This saved him a lot of effort.
Then, Jack led his men straight to the castle.
After walking for about an hour, they finally saw the castle on the mountain peak.
The castle was in the middle of the island.
It was standing atop a tall mountain and had the best view of the entire island.
The castle's overall color was slightly darker, and the design was very exquisite.
When they reached the foot of the castle, everyone was stunned by the towering porch.
By rough estimation, the porch was at least seven or eight meters high.
The design was exquisite and elegant.
The few of them pushed open the door and entered.
What they saw was a wide walkway that could accommodate at least two carriages traveling side by side.

On both sides were European-style buildings.
The design was the same, the color was the same, and even the general layout was the same.
The road was paved with white unknown bricks that extended to the end of the path. It was a beautiful castle.
The few of them walked forward. The color of this castle was different from others, It was built in white and orange.
From afar, it looked as if it was adorned with golden inscriptions. It looked extremely noble.
He pushed open the door and entered. The first thing he saw was the spacious hall. It contained everything that a normal castle had.
This made it much more convenient for Jack. He did not need to purchase things separately.
They climbed the spiral staircase to the top floor of the castle.
There were not many rooms in the castle. On the front was a very large bedroom. Jack estimated that it was at least 200 square meters.
Behind it were seven to eight smaller rooms.
On the right was the study, and on the left was the watchtower.
Jack stood by the watchtower and took in everything about the island.
At the front was an endless stretch of trees and behind, there were slaves who were reclaiming the land.
Surrounding the island was a vast, dark sea.
Looking at everything below, Jack was very satisfied.
Alice, who was beside him, was already running around happily. As she ran, she said, "Mr. President, will we be staying here from now on?"
She looked at Jack with her beautiful eyes.
It was as if she was afraid Jack would not allow it.
Jack was also extremely excited as he replied: "Of course!"
In his previous life, he also had a house in New York.
However, in New York, where every inch of land was worth the price of gold, he could only buy a house with a hundred square meters in a remote place.

At that time, he was very content with this size. But now that he saw the castle, he instantly understood that there was no comparison at all!
Not only that, everything in this castle was beyond his imagination.
In an instant, Jack fell deeply in love with this place.
Even in his previous life, those famous people did not have such a good view of the castle, right?
Then, Jack said to Eugene, "You should find a room on this floor too."
Eugene shook his head and rejected Jack's good intentions, "Mr. President, I'll be fine living on the first floor."
Jack nodded without saying anything.
After all, he had come to this world with the intention of conquering everything.
It would be quite inconvenient if there were outsiders on this floor at that time.
Then, Jack asked the butler to find a room to stay.
When the time came, the butler would be the one representing his image in the outside world.
After making all the arrangements, Jack asked the butler to bring the White Horse Treasure Chicken and highland barley to the back of the castle.
The people who took care of these resources were also allowed to live here.
Then, he abandoned everyone and brought Alice into the room.
The bed was huge, at least 20 square meters.
All around were golden mosquito nets.
Jack walked out onto the balcony. The view here was even better.
The sea breeze blew on the island. It was not fierce and was very comfortable.
He wondered what design the castle had used to achieve this effect.
Looking at everything before him, Jack knew that he had completely settled down in this world.
Jack held Alice in his arms and looked at the lush forest in front of him, his emotions surging.
Alice also felt Jack's emotions.
She could not help but kiss Jack on the cheek.
Feeling the warmth on his face, Jack pushed Alice away slightly. For the first time, he assessed Alice seriously.
She was really beautiful.
In his previous life, Jack never had the chance to have anything to do with such a beauty.
So even now, he still felt that this was a dream.
He felt the warmth of Alice's arms through his hands.
Jack could not take it anymore!
Immediately, he kissed Alice on the mouth.
Thanks to Jack's guidance, Alice also fell in love with brushing her teeth.
Otherwise, no matter how beautiful a woman was, the taste in her mouth would not be pleasant.
Alice's lips were thick and naturally red without lipstick.
The moment they kissed, Jack felt a warmth that touched his body.
How wonderful!
Jack could not help himself.
Alice felt Jack's love for her, too, and responded with more intensity.
Not long after, Jack held back his inner restlessness and pushed Alice away reluctantly.
It was still not the right time. He needed to quickly deal with the highland barley and the White Horse Treasure Chicken.
Otherwise, if he did not handle it well, it might cause irreversible problems in his future plans.
"Give me some more time," Jack said, scratching Alice's nose.
Alice blushed slightly and hummed in a soft voice.
Then, Jack straightened his clothes and took Alice out.
Downstairs, the butler and Eugene waited.
When the butler saw the president come out, he quickly went over and said, "Mr. President, the White Horse Treasure Chicken and highland barley that you arranged for have arrived, the staff to take care of them have also been gathered."
Jack nodded as he led everyone out.

In a polluted world where humans ruined the planet, Ren Silver, a man who had been on the bottom his entire life climbed up the social ladder and followed his dreams no matter who put him down. After putting his soul, blood, sweat, and tears, his path led him to greatness, becoming the number 1 streamer and VR gamer in the world. His life took a major turn.

What awaited him was something truly special that no man would have dreamed of... One much darker than he would have ever expected... [ Greetings Ren Silver… You have proven yourself worthy without a shadow of a doubt… Welcome to your NEW REALITY... ] *****************************IMPORTANT AUTHOR NOTE! This post was made by #NoHaremGang! Although the synopsis and the first few chapters make it sound like one, THIS IS NOT A VRMMO NOVEL. This is a proper Isekai! This will be a MALE LEAD novel, despite the cover. There will be romance however later down the line, and the person in the cover will be the main love interest! The Novel's MC will not be a very moral guy. He is not a hero! He will value logic and reasoning over most of his decisions and values his own survival! There will be some romance later on but probably not a lot of it! The first few chapters are slow and set up the world so don't let that deter you, because the action is not too far from there! I hope you guys enjoy the novel! There will also be original art on specific chapters! So keep an eye out for those! ;) *****************************
