Beneath the water, Mu You trailed far behind the boat.
The man was fairly alert. As he rowed, he occasionally glanced back to check whether anyone was following him.
Unfortunately for him, Mu You was even more alert. With the Time Pocket Watch, he could anticipate whenever the young man would turn around, hide in advance, and erase all traces on the surface.
Throughout the pursuit, he remained undiscovered.
After he had followed for nearly two hours, the boatman finally seemed to reach his destination. He stopped near a small island, put away his boat, and hurried ashore.
The crescent-shaped island spanned only a few hundred meters, with a mangrove forest growing on it.
After landing, the boatman immediately ran toward the trees at the island's center.
From underwater, Mu You could see clearly. Beneath one of the mangroves, a door stood slightly ajar, its narrow opening appearing abruptly in midair.
Mu You did not approach. Instead, he released the Scout Beetle underwater.
The beetle paddled swiftly through the water, quickly reaching the island's shore and hiding beneath an aquatic plant near the beach.
Mu You also donned the Invisibility Cloak and hid underwater, watching the scene from a distance.
He saw the boatman run up to the door and knock cautiously.
Shortly afterward, the door opened, and a broad, muscular man appeared in the doorway.
