Chapter 264 A Hopeless Situation
Nicole sighed in relief when she noticed the fake native.The torrential rain made the cold, dark night seem like an abyss.The leaves around them rustled loudly as they were drenched in the downpour. Accompanied by the crashing waves from the sea and the howling wind, it sounded like a death knell, cold and despairing.Nicole was soaked to the bone and shivered in the cold. The chill seemed to drill all the way down to her marrow.She had just stopped to gasp for breath when she suddenly heard the flurry of heavy footsteps catching up behind them. It was extraordinarily clear in the darkness.Nicole and the fake native exchanged a glance. They then continued to run without hesitation.The cold rain pelted her face like a sharp knife...After just a few minutes, she felt like her heart was about to jump out, and her legs stopped listening to her brain. The surrounding environment was dark, and in addition to the rain, it was impossible to see anything at all.The ground was lit
Chapter 265 He Had Never Gone Hungry Before
The man laughed. It was a mellow and clear sound in the darkness of the night.A sly look flashed in his eyes.“I’m not telling!”Nicole was speechless.However, his relaxed state made her feel much better.Nicole looked at her only partner in front and inexplicably felt a closeness with him.She followed him with a smile and touched his bare arm which was painted with all sorts of colors. It was somewhat rough and firm, but she did not touch him to take advantage of him.“Are you cold? Do you want my coat?”She moved to take off her tightly wrapped windbreaker as she spoke.There was no other meaning. She was simply afraid that he would freeze to death.A hand stopped her from moving, and the man said, “No need. I’m not cold.”Nicole did not insist because she suddenly remembered that Tigger was still in her pocket.“I’m Nicole Stanton. What’s your name?”Hearing that name, the man’s back stiffened slightly. He turned around to ask her, “Is Kai Stanton your brother?”Nic
Chapter 266 He Regretted It
When Eric opened his eyes and saw the familiar furnishings around him, he sat up in shock. He was about to rip off the needle stuck in his arm and leave.“Where are you going?!”Old Master Ferguson’s face was red with anger. His aged voice was imposing and forceful.The butler and servants at Eric’s sides stopped him. No one dared to speak for a moment.Eric’s expression became nasty as he spoke with a firm tone.“I’m going to look for Nicole…”“She’s already dead!”Old Master Ferguson’s words hit Eric like a bolt of thunder out of nowhere. Everyone already knew that, but Eric was still in denial.Those words suddenly touched the deepest reality buried in his heart.Eric felt like a deer in headlights.That taut nerve pulled and snapped.He looked up with bloodshot eyes, his face tight and cold.“She’s not dead. She won’t die like that!”His voice was surprisingly cold. ‘How could I leave Nicole alone in the sea? No matter what, I must take her home!’Eric stood up and
Chapter 267 Conforming Wig
After walking for more than twenty minutes, Nicole felt her legs go numb. Her feet were also worn with blisters, and her muscles ached incessantly.The downpour stopped just as she followed him to their destination.The sound of the waves on the surface of the sea was more intense. Wind surged, huge waves beat against the reefs and scrubbed the beach. The sound of the waves crashing was particularly harsh.After they left the jungle, the sand near the sea was soft and wet, making it impossible to lift one’s feet.The man in front of Nicole walked firmly and strongly. Despite running for so long, he did not seem to have any trace of fatigue.It seemed like he was accustomed to this environment.Nathaniel walked past the reef to the leeward side of a hill, then moved a rock that was half his size to the side.He called out to the shocked and dumbfounded Nicole before he entered the small cave behind the rock.There was a cave here?Nicole followed him into the small space that c
Chapter 268 He Went to the South Pole for an Expedition
The South Pole?!Nicole’s heart sank fiercely.It was not certain if that explorer friend of his would survive or not, let alone expect him to come and save them.That was just wishful thinking!So, when all was said and done, there was still no hope?Nicole turned pale. Nathaniel did his own thing and took out a lighter from his bag before beginning to boil water.“Then... Can you contact the outside world?”Nathaniel gave her a sincere look that dispelled all her hopes.“No.”“Haven’t you thought about how to leave this place?!”“I have. I thought that a fool would come here so that when someone comes to her rescue, they can take me along as well! In any case, I’m almost done with the content I’m looking for.”Nicole was speechless.‘Is he saying that I’m a fool?!’This knowledge completely dispelled her joy. What a tragedy!Nathaniel skillfully distilled the seawater, then proceeded to distill the already-distilled seawater. After repeating this process of distillation
Chapter 269 I Lack Money
Nicole’s eyes felt sore. “They must think that I’m dead... My dad and my brothers must be so sad right now…”Nathaniel paused and looked up at her. He felt a little heartache at her expression of despair.“We still need to have a little hope...”“What hope?”Nicole looked up at him with shining eyes, as if reflecting a sea of stars.Nathaniel froze before saying, “Throughout history, there have accounts of people who have crossed the seas by swimming…”Nicole said, “Will you shut up?!”“Okay...”Nicole laid down on a pile of leaves and unknowingly drifted off into a deep sleep.When Tigger realized that they were no longer in danger, it poked out of Nicole’s pocket and went to explore the cave.Nathaniel caught Tigger with nimble movements and appraised it.“Nikki carries a pet with her?”Tigger’s four legs flailed in the air.“Let go! I’m a tiger, not a pet!”Nathaniel’s eyes shined.“It’s a talking fake tiger!”Tigger’s whiskers trembled with anger. This was an insult
Chapter 270 Don’t Rush to Donate
Nicole already had a feeling that Nathaniel lacked money. After all, why would he do such a dangerous job if he was not short of money?She patted his shoulder.“Don’t worry, I have nothing if not money. If we ever get out, you never have to worry about not having money to spend as long as I’m around!”Nathaniel instantly grew emotional and looked at her with hot tears in his eyes.“Nikki, I’ll leave the rest of my life in your hands.”“No problem!”Nicole agreed easily. With her wealth, was it hard to take care of a friend’s financial needs?In the capital of Mediania.Maverick heard about Nicole’s accident when he finally came out of the research institute laboratory. Without a word, he immediately took a helicopter to that sea.Kai had not returned, which meant that the matter was not settled yet.The celebrities and dignitaries who had friendships with the Stantons also did not dare to add insult to injury in their moment of sadness.However, those who thought highly of
Chapter 271 Finding Your IQ Is Like Trying to Find a Needle in a Haystack
Kai froze in place from shock. These days, he had been afraid to think about it and did not dare to accept reality. What if there was a chance?However, once Maverick finished, Kai suddenly crouched down and trembled fiercely. The grown man, Kai, broke down in tears.Logan, who was standing by the side, also felt emotional. His eyes reddened because he felt the same way.Maverick looked at Kai silently.“Sorry, I came out too late.”If Maverick had not shut himself in the laboratory for the secret research, he would have known about this long ago.With his high IQ, Maverick very calmly analyzed all the details and possibilities, then corrected all the deviations bit by bit.Tigger’s tracker did not respond at all, and there was no trace of it even on the satellite map, which meant that it was probably being blocked by some high-tech instruments.Therefore, their search range should be set in the sea two thousand nautical miles away from their current location.Kai called every
