Dissatisfaction with Walker's various actions planted the seeds of hatred in McIntosh's heart. Taking advantage of the villagers' rebellion caused by the road construction, McIntosh borrowed a knife to kill people, and Walker was assassinated. Walker's last words and the villagers' memory of him also made McIntosh guilty, and eventually committed suicide in the sea.
Just flip through it😶
Walker is a dictatorial, tyrannical, and vulgar ruler who rules Tarua Island with despicable means and uses every means to make the island residents succumb to his will. His subordinate McIntosh is an introverted and timid bystander.
