Chapter 218 - Chapter 216: Bahamas, Paradise Island

After playing in Mexico for three more days, Hunter felt that regarding Perkins,

he had already boosted her dependence and obedience toward him to a very high level.

Only then did he bid farewell to Perkins, buy a plane ticket, and fly toward the Bahamas Archipelago.

As for Perkins, she was also preparing to return to the US.

By contacting her Assassin Organization, she had confirmed that she had not been exposed.

Therefore, she dared to return to the US to continue enjoying her life as a rich woman.

As for Hunter, he was preparing to look for Dominic and Mia.

But before that, since it was rare for him to travel abroad, he planned to visit the Bahamas first.

Since he had no clues whatsoever, Hunter still didn't know whether Dominic and the others were currently hiding locally in the Dominican Republic or on the Island Nation of Dominic.

He decided to first tour the Bahamas Archipelago to see if he could find a potentially existing treasure.

A few months ago, Hunter found several maps suspected to be treasure maps at the home of Corrupt Police Officer Stanfield of the Los Angeles Narcotics Bureau.

On those maps, there were many circled markings, and some information was even written down.

However, Stanfield did not leave any extremely obvious hints on the maps.

Therefore, Hunter could not be certain what exactly he was looking for.

Based only on the few words Stanfield left on the maps, it was confirmed that he was looking for a private plane suspected to have crashed into the sea.

Clearly, on that private plane, there was a treasure that made Stanfield, a man worth hundreds of millions of us dollars, envious and tempted.

Although Hunter was no longer short of money (460), no one would turn down more wealth.

Moreover, he was full of curiosity and interest regarding treasure hunting and adventure.

The plane took off from Mérida, the capital of Yucatán State, in Southeastern Mexico.

It flew directly to Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas!

A few hours later, the plane landed in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas.

"Hoo!"

The moment he stepped off the plane, Hunter took a deep breath of fresh air, instantly lifting his spirits.

The Bahamas is an Island Nation in the Atlantic Ocean, adjacent to Florida and Cuba in the US.

Starting from the Middle of the Last Century, it has been the last maritime supply station for Island Nation immigrants from the Caribbean Region attempting to smuggle themselves into the US.

According to Hunter's investigation, it is also located on a sea and air route used by drug lords from Latin America to smuggle narcotics into the US.

There are rumors that during the period when pirates ran rampant centuries ago,

many pirates secretly hid their plundered treasures and wealth on a small island within the Bahamas Archipelago.

Similarly, the navies of various countries and other pirates who came to suppress them had many conflicts and naval battles here.

More than one pirate ship loaded with gold and jewels sank in the waters of the Bahamas Archipelago.

Therefore, there might truly be hidden treasures here.

Stepping out of the airport, taxi drivers quickly swarmed around him.

"Sir, take my car."

"Sir, I am the best driver in Nassau."

"Sir, I know all the fun tourist spots in the Bahamas."

The official language of the Bahamas is English, so everyone who gathered around spoke English to Hunter.

Hunter glanced over the group of drivers and finally chose the one who looked the youngest.

"You said you know all the fun tourist spots in the Bahamas?"

"That's right, sir."

The young driver was delighted. Although Hunter had an Asian face, his attire clearly marked him as a rich person, so the driver was especially enthusiastic.

"Alright, I'll take you."

"Very good, sir, follow me."

The surrounding drivers instantly dispersed unhappily.

Some even took the opportunity to grope Hunter a few times.

It seemed there were also pickpockets or drivers moonlighting as pickpockets mixed in.

Unfortunately, they were destined for disappointment.

Hunter never kept money on his person; everything was stored in his private space.

When a dishonest pickpocket reached into his pocket, he naturally felt it.

However, seeing that they hadn't ripped his clothes,

and knowing that they had gained nothing,

he didn't make a scene. He pretended not to notice and followed the young driver away.

He got into the car, which was an old Toyota taxi with a strong sense of age.

Hunter only needed one look to confirm that it was a model from the Early 1980s.

However, he wasn't being fussy.

After getting into the car, he reached into his pocket.

In reality, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his private space.

Hunter lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff, and asked, "Hey kid, I'm a travel writer. I came to the Bahamas this time to find inspiration for my writing."

(ccbh)

"Can you tell me which places in the Bahamas are best for sightseeing?"

"Also, tell me about any legends concerning pirate treasure. I plan to write my next book about treasure hunting."

This was the new identity Hunter had prepared for himself before coming here.

If he couldn't get any information from this young taxi driver,

he planned to go directly to the Nassau library, or even the relevant local government departments, to inquire.

This would save Hunter a lot of investigation time.

Hunter quickly realized that this young taxi driver was not deceiving him.

Hearing this, the driver immediately smiled and replied, "Sir, you're a writer?"

"You've definitely asked the right person. Don't let my age fool you; I started working when I was fourteen, and that was nearly twenty years ago."

"I recommend you go straight to Paradise Island."

"It's not far from Nassau, only about a fifteen-minute boat ride."

"Of course, if you need me to, I can drive you there directly. Two bridges connect it to Nassau."

"Paradise Island has the Atlantis Water World, the world's largest outdoor aquarium, and the most beautiful, charming, and passionate girls in the Bahamas."

"Furthermore, it is said that Paradise Island was the lair of many pirates during the Age of Sail centuries ago."

"There are still some ruins from the pirate era on the island, but that area is quite dangerous, and tourists are generally not allowed near it."

Hunter hadn't expected to gain any useful information from this young driver, having only asked casually.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually gave him a pleasant surprise.

He hadn't planned on staying long in the Bahamas Archipelago this time.

A minimum of three to five days, a maximum of about a week.

If Hunter didn't find anything, he was prepared to leave first and return later when he had more time to search properly.

He hadn't expected that a random taxi driver he chose would point a direction for his aimless search.

At that moment, Hunter, feeling quite pleased, said, "Alright, thank you for the trouble."

"Drive me straight to Paradise Island, and help me find a hotel there while you're at it."

After speaking, Hunter reached into his pocket again, but actually pulled a Franklin out of his private space and tossed it directly to the young driver.

He had inquired before coming: although the Bahamas has its own currency, the bahamian dollar, the us dollar can also be used directly here.

Moreover, although the official exchange rate maintained the bahamian dollar at parity with the us dollar (one-to-one),

in the Black Market, the rate could even reach one-to-three or even one-to-four.

Because of this, locals actually preferred receiving us dollars from tourists, as they earned more that way.

Sure enough, upon seeing Hunter generously toss him a hundred us dollars—

—which was several times the fare for this ride!

The young driver looked overjoyed and quickly pocketed the Franklin.

The compliments and flattery never stopped the entire journey...
