On the way to the city where Larissa was being held, 2,000 kilometers away, the old experts tried to play the game of deception that Vicente had heard them play earlier. He, of course, went along with what the group wanted, pretending to be ignorant while accepting the old men's excuses.
The elders of the Alpine Eye Family wanted him to believe that Larissa's current situation was related to family dissidents, traitors trying to harm them. In their words, Larissa was a victim of the rebellious wing of the family and had the bad luck to arrive in the Inviting Isles at the wrong time and be bought by the wrong people.
