Camila, on the other hand, needed a way to contact Isaac.

If she didn't have her phone with her, she would have no way of alerting Isaac, especially if she somehow found Joe.

“Well.

"I'm afraid it's basic protocol," Lilith explained after noticing Camila's reluctance. "They cannot risk having people contact anyone on the outside while they're in the casino."

“ALL right," Camila sighed. She also turned off her phone and gave it to the men, who didn't start the engine until the devices were safely stashed away.

After sailing for about half an hour, a cargo ship finally came into view.

“That's it," said Lilith.

“So many containers?" Camila frowned.

All this time, she had thought there would only be one or two. But there were more than twenty of them there!

The sailors took her surprise for amazement, and they puffed up their chests with pride. "The ship can accommodate three to four hundred people at once. There aren't many guests today, probably just around a hundred."

Camila's eyes widened, and she had to stifle her gasp. Hundreds of people?

This really was a casino!

She had to give it to Travis, the man had some guts pulling this off!

They drew close to the ship, and the men set up a plank for them to walk over.

“Let's go." Lilith gestured at Camila, who swallowed the lump in her throat and nodded.

They carefully crossed the plank and boarded the ship.

As soon as they were there, Camila turned to Lilith and said, "You should go and find Travis first. I'll wait for you here."

Lilith paused.

“You're not coming with me

“Well, I am an outsider. I don't think it's appropriate for me to be there during your talk. Just clear things up, then we can leave. I'll stay right here.”

Lilith considered this for a moment and eventually relented. Camila did have a point. This was a private matter between her and Travis.

“Okay.” She nodded. "Thank you for coming with me."

Camila smiled.

She couldn't help but feel sorry for lying to Lilith

The latter was such a simple girl, and she trusted Camila almost immediately.
