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
Chapter 272 Number One Jinx
Nicole chewed on the fish expressionlessly. Without any seasoning, she could not taste the freshness of the fish.The fish was washed ashore by the sea, and Nathaniel picked it up and roasted it over some dried leaves.Except for the salty and fishy smell, it was just bland and tasteless.“I want to eat at that old French restaurant in the streets of Paris, coupled with a glass of white wine. It’s simply perfection…”Nathaniel ate with gusto. When he heard her words, he looked up at her and came over with a smile.“Nikki, if you don’t want to eat, you can give it to me…”He made a move to grab the fish from her.Nicole dodged and glared at him while guarding her food.“You’d better watch out! Or else… Tigger will bite you…”To the side, Tigger bared its teeth at Nathaniel.Nathaniel said tentatively, “If you’re bored, go dress up like the indigenous people. I’ll show you their community.”Nicole immediately shook her head. He wanted her to walk to her death just because of b
Chapter 273 Hanging by a Thread
The indigenous people were alarmed by the gunshots and stood up in panic and vigilance, wielding their wooden clubs.Nicole and Nathaniel exchanged a glance. Nathaniel looked serious, and his eyes were alert. He brought his index finger to his lips and made a shushing gesture.Then, they heard countless hurried footsteps. The indigenous people ran and stepped on the branches of trees, their mouths shouting an incomprehensible language.It sounded like a serious warning being issued.The angry insults from the pirates were accompanied by the sound of their guns. The atmosphere was tense for a while.The pirates were naturally not afraid of the indigenous people since they had guns.However, the natives outnumbered the pirates, and they had a limited number of bullets, so they did not have a huge advantage.What made them even more furious was that they had followed their “prey” to this place but found nothing except for the primitive tribe.They had been fooled.“There are actu
Chapter 274 No, I’m Scared
Nicole almost cried when she heard those names. She wanted to jump up with joy.“My brother is here!”She almost thought that she was going to die here!The countless heavy boulders piling on her chest almost made her unable to hold on!The rumbling noise in the air was endless as if they were calling out to them.Nicole had never found the sound of a helicopter so pleasing to her ears. It was so sweet that it pulled her back from the border of death!It was her flame of hope, her light at the end of the tunnel!She ran twice as fast as usual.Nathaniel was also very excited. He found another path in front and looked back at her as they ran.“Nikki, we’re going back together. You won’t leave me behind, right?”Nicole looked at him joyfully and smiled.“Of course I won’t!”“After we go back, you can’t ignore me no matter what happens, okay?”“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of your fortune and glory for the rest of your life!”Nicole thought that Nathaniel was worried that she
Chapter 275 Lambs to the Slaughter
As soon as Nicole heard this, she immediately dismissed the idea of turning around and running.It would be too pitiful if they got shot to death from behind!However, what could they do if they could not run?The air was terribly cold. The fear that the pirates would kill them at any moment and the fishy smell of the seawater lingered around them.The three men were right in front of them. At this rate, they would not be able to hold out any longer.Nathaniel was so scared that he began to tremble. Although he was an explorer, he had never experienced anything like this before!Nicole was not much better, but when she saw the pirates approaching, her heart gradually calmed down instead.Three men approached, two of them tall with strong bodies.The other one was a little shorter and thinner, but his face was cold, and his hawk-like eyes were the most terrifying of all.He looked at her with a gaze that was intense and filled with greed.Although Nicole’s clothes were wretche
Chapter 276 How Much Is She Worth?
In that moment of confrontation, the situation changed. Dark clouds hung heavily above the sea, and the sea seemed exceptionally calm despite the storm brewing.It seemed to foreshadow the intense situation that was about to occur.In the dead silence of the stand-off, the cold and heavy atmosphere was extremely tense and dangerous, as if a gunfight would start at any moment.These were trained pirates who would kill without batting an eye.Nicole was just a survivor stranded here.However, she did not have the slightest fear, and her hands wielding the gun did not tremble. She pointed the gun at the pirate she was stepping on to make sure that he did not dare to struggle!Raising her eyes, she looked at the dozens of guns aimed at herself with a firm and composed gaze.Nathaniel’s face went miserably white when he saw this scene.His legs could not help but go limp as he involuntarily slumped to the ground.Nicole glanced at him and whispered in a voice that the pirates could
