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
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
Amidst the hail of bullets, Nicole suddenly recalled the terrorist attack in the streets of Europe four years ago.The originally peaceful and romantic streets were suddenly bombed by terrorists.They attacked countless civilians, and Nicole had rushed out of the safe room to save a three-year-old child whose parents had died on the scene.The bomb exploded beside her. No matter how fast she was, she could not run away.Nicole and the child were flung into the air by the blast and were just about to be reduced to cannon fodder...The next second, a tall and strong man shielded her body.That was the first time Nicole met Eric Ferguson.From that moment on, she owed him her life.He wore Mediania’s military uniform, and his back was stained with blood, but his expression was steely and calm.When he saw that Nicole and the child were safe, he immediately left to save the next person and helped the local police to catch many of the fleeing terrorists.That attack made the terro
Nicole closed her eyes. She clearly wanted to cry, but no tears came.She thought about it many times before. There were many things she wanted to say before she died, but right now, her mind was blank.The reef fragments beside her that chipped off scratched her hand, making it drip with blood.Old and new wounds intermingled, so grisly that its original appearance could not be seen.The footsteps right in front of them sounded like they came from the Grim Reaper.If only there was one bullet left. She would have saved it for herself...She spotted the black muzzle of a gun from the corner of her eyes, then closed her eyes in despair.Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in the air, approaching extremely quickly from a distance.It was dozens of giant helicopters hovering densely overhead, covering the sky.The pirates’ gunfire stopped. They realized that the danger at this moment did not lie with the woman.Rather, it was the sudden appearance of these giant helicopters.T
Before the giant helicopter took off, Eric stood on it, facing the chilly breeze and looking at the pirate captain below.He enunciated the words clearly and coldly, “Fifteen billion dollars, three times the amount you asked for, has been wired to your account.”One person was worth five billion dollars, but he gave three people’s worth.It was not an ordinary kind of generosity!The pirate captain was extremely surprised, and his dark hawk-like eyes suddenly flashed with a greedy smile.This trip was not in vain.However, the next second.“Bang—”At the sound of the gunshot, the slightly shorter and thinner pirate captain’s smile stiffened. Everyone looked in shock as blood poured from the wound in his chest.Eric’s attitude was insouciant. He did not care about whether or not this move would anger the pirates.His indifferent eyes were cold and gloomy.Eric lowered the gun and looked at the pirate captain.His voice was frigid. “This bullet is free for you.”No one could
Maverick remembered the moment Eric got on the helicopter, he held the unconscious and bloodied Nicole and refused to let go of her. He even shed silent tears.The helicopter was filled with Eric’s army buddies. When they saw this scene, they were so shocked that they were at a loss for words.Fortunately, one of them, Jackson, was a military doctor. He performed some first aid and operated on her after they reached the cruise ship.During the operation, Eric observed the entire process. He stared at Nicole’s face without blinking as if he was afraid that this was all just a dream.When Jackson removed the bullet, Eric was more nervous than anyone. His tense face was covered in sweat, but no one knew if it was from anger or sadness.After the surgery was completed, Jackson smiled coldly and looked at Eric.“I’ve never performed such an annoying surgery before! Every time I made a cut, it was like you wanted to eat me alive. Did you want to stab me back a few times as revenge?”E
Inside Nicole’s cabin.The room was spotless, comfortable, and luxurious. As soon as Nicole opened her eyes, she heard Kai’s hysterically excited cry. “Nicole’s awake!!”Nicole felt like her eardrums were about to shatter, but at the same time, it felt dear to her heart.The sunlight shone through the window and spilled on the floor. Drops of water gently tapped the cabin’s window from the waves lapping around the ship. In the distance, soft fluffy clouds dotted the sunny blue sky.It was beyond beautiful.Nicole gently moved her hands, which felt clumsy and heavy because they were wrapped in gauze.Kai sat by her bedside. His eyes were red.“Lil N, since your plane crash, I’ve been trying to find you at sea for so long. I’m finally able to bring you now… I promise to buy you whatever you want!”Nicole hooked her lips. This felt like an unrealistic beautiful dream, but the strong smell of disinfectant filled her nasal cavity and brought her back to reality. ‘I’m alive! I surviv
Nicole was a little confused by that title. Eric touched his nose, stood up, and looked a little diffident when he swept a glance at Nicole’s face.However, as soon as Eric turned around, he looked at the group of soldiers behind him with a glum face and said, “Keep quiet!”Everyone subconsciously quieted down for fear of Eric’s strong aura. However, they still stretched their necks to look at Nicole and refused to leave.Nicole chuckled and looked in the direction of the door. Her voice was gentle and soft.“Hi guys, thanks for risking your lives to save me.”She was incredibly grateful from the bottom of her heart. If not for them, Nicole might have died on that island long ago.“You’re welcome, sis. We’re fellow Medianians, and we’re really proud of what you’ve done! Besides Ferg, you’re the only one in this world who dares to point a gun at the pirate captain David’s head.”“Yeah! You and Ferg truly are a perfect match!”......The tall man in a white doctor’s coat standin
