Hope Island's true master had returned, and slowly the island's situation began to stabilize. Any thoughts lingering in people's minds, even if not dissipated, were carefully hidden in their deepest hearts.
Very few knew what the Governor had encountered at sea. All they could see was that, apart from the Captain, everyone else completely lost their minds.
The crew were concentrated in a huge villa for treatment. Their families received generous compensation.
This villa, located at the heart of the island and extraordinarily decorated, was secretly referred to as the madhouse by many. Rumor had it that they had all been cursed by God.
As for the Governor, since his return, he had stayed inside the Governor's Mansion and never came out again.
He refused everyone's request to see him, and even the servants and maids responsible for maintenance inside the Governor's Mansion were dismissed.
