The Bandaged Man had a narrow escape and made it to the island. As an assassin holding an official secret order, he issued a wanted notice at the local yamen on the island.
Both the protagonist and Amber were present and heard this wanted notice. They knew that such tranquility in life would always be shattered.
The protagonist entered the yamen alone, intending to kill the Bandaged Man, and then flee far away with Amber.
Mrs. Meritt drained her cup of wine.

Seeing this, Mrs. Meritt could already guess the unfolding storyline.
