Chapter 2890
Adrian saw the woman on the stern deck in the distance, and his brows furrowed together. ‘Isn’t that the girl I rescued?’But Adrian ignored Lucy and continued rowing away.Lucy wasn’t discouraged by this though. She looked around and noticed that some crew members were closing in on her. They might discover her soon, so she quickly slipped off her cumbersome dress, and underneath was something like a nightgown. She then jumped the railing and plunged into the sea.Splash!The water churned as Lucy once again dropped into the sea. After a little struggle, she broke the surface and started paddling toward the small boat.*Back inside Alfie’s room, the atmosphere was tense. They didn't know when the ghost would appear again, but because of Adrian's caution, they cowered in their room and didn't dare to step outside."Did you guys hear that?" Alfie suddenly asked his companions."It sounded like the sound of someone falling into the water," another person answered in a trembling

Lucy got closer and closer to Adrian. As she approached the small boat, the figure of the man before her became clearer.“I feel like I've seen him somewhere before,” Lucy murmured to herself, “But I don't think I know him. Otherwise, I would've already beaten him up!"Instead of saving her, Adrian went in the opposite direction. Therefore, she was determined to give him a piece of her mind once she got on board.Just as she was about to reach the boat, the young man turned to look at her. Lucy hurriedly suppressed her annoyance and waved to him."I'm here. Could you please pick me up?" she called out.Adrian smiled, shook his head, and then began to row the small boat forward. Initially, the boat was simply drifting on the water. However, now it seemed to gain speed, swiftly bypassing Lucy and closing in on the cruise ship.As the small boat moved away, the waves it created almost caused Lucy to sink under the water. Struggling to stay afloat, she turned around to see Adrian's b

Lucy's face sank when she saw them. She thought that she might as well die than face Howard again.Larissa's eyes were sharper than those around her, and her face paled when she saw the despairing expression on her daughter’s face."Save her! What are you waiting for?1" Howard shouted at Anthony. Startled, Anthony hurriedly called the people in the cockpit to turn the ship around."It's too late. It’ll take at least five minutes to turn the ship around. Lucy will be dead by then," Marc said, his face pale.Even if he and Larissa jumped into the water to save Lucy, it would take several minutes to get close to her. In other words, Lucy's fate was sealed. Just when everyone was in despair, they suddenly heard the sounds of water splashing nearby."How is that guy's boat so fast?" A person leaning on the left railing muttered as he looked down at the sea below.Larissa and the others turned to look and saw a small boat speeding toward the direction of Obscura City."He's using

Larissa was determined to protect everyone present. However, she realized in the next moment that there was no way she could defend against the wall of sword energies in front of her. Boom!The several dozen-meter-tall ship toppled over, and a menacing cross-shaped crack appeared on its hull. Fortunately, Adrian had not exerted all his strength, so the ship had not completely capsized. After the ship regained stability, the waves churned vigorously and created quite a commotion on the sea surface.The ship swayed, and the people on board were in a precarious state. As the boat rocked, over a hundred people on the stern deck were struggling to maintain their balance. Some even resorted to lying on the ground to prevent themselves from being thrown overboard. Some would have fallen into the water if someone wasn’t holding onto them.The situation on the stern deck was dire, and the people in the rooms were not faring much better. Autumn’s sudden appearance had caused everyone on the

Larissa had no other choice right now. When Adrian drew his sword, Lucy sunk into the waves. Although the cruise ship had already stopped, it would still take some time to turn around and rush to Lucy's side. Even if they could make it to her before she drowned, they still needed time to get her out of the water. Their only hope now was to get Adrian to forgive them and get him to turn back and rescue Lucy.However, Adrian did not see it that way. He shook his head impatiently and said, "Since she's your only daughter, you should have protected her. This isn't the first time this has happened."He rowed away, showing no intention of rescuing Lucy.Larissa and Marc's faces turned pale. As for the other passengers around them, they dared not speak to Adrian anymore after his attack. After all, they did not want to offend him and have him slice the ship in half."Adrian? That name rings a bell!" Marc suddenly recalled something. Although he had heard Adrian's name from the crew earlie

"It's been so long. Why hasn't he come back yet?" Larissa asked while gripping the railing tightly, her eyes fixed on the distant sea.Marc and Sammy were equally worried.Howard summoned a crew member and asked about the damage to the ship's hull. He learned that although the ship had not suffered fatal damage, repairing the damage to the hull would require a lot of money.His face sank. Despite knowing it was wrong, he silently wished that Adrian would never return.Meanwhile, Adrian had dived down hundreds of meters and reached Lucy. Then, he formed a shield with his energy and created a space for her to breathe. However, Lucy had lost the ability to breathe autonomously.Adrian held onto her and slowly floated toward the surface.In her daze, Lucy vaguely saw a familiar figure. Her eyes widened abruptly, and with Adrian's help, she coughed out some seawater and laboriously said, "It’s you, you bastard!" Adrian responded casually, "I've saved you twice, so why do you still c
Chapter 2896
The Wainwrights were located in Southbay and had been somewhat negligent in responding to the city's situation compared to other forces. In the end, they suffered significant losses. Now they had to attach themselves to other families, such as the Grantts, who happened to be the owners of this cruise ship.As Adrian scanned the faces of the crowd, he noticed fear in their expressions. He shook his head disdainfully, then turned to return to his small boat.However, Lucy struggled out of her mother's arms and reached out to stop Adrian. "Don't go!" she shouted. "What else do you want?" Adrian asked. Lucy did not speak, but she looked at him pleadingly. Adrian frowned, then looked at Larissa and Marc. "What are you doing, Lucy?" Marc said before turning back to Adrian, "I'm sorry, Mr. Adrian. I hope you won't mind Lucy. However, if you said those strange occurrences on our ship were caused by you, I believe that as His Highness Everett's confidante, you must have a way to solve
Chapter 2897
Lucy stared blankly at Adrian. Even though she called him a jerk, he had saved her twice. Moreover, his identity seemed rather unusual. Even her father was now somewhat obsequious in trying to keep him onboard.Anthony asked Howard, "What should we do now, sir?”Howard's face sank as he stared at Adrian. In the current situation, he could no longer drive Adrian away even though he was the owner of the ship. Doing so would only make others think of him as petty. However, when he saw Lucy still clutching at Adrian, his expression became even colder. "Haha! Small world, isn't it? It seems we overlooked Mr. Adrian earlier." Howard suddenly laughed, pushing aside everyone blocking his way and reaching Adrian’s side. "It's our honor to have you aboard, Mr. Adrian. As the owner of this ship, I apologize for neglecting you earlier."He looked at Adrian with a smile, but Adrian cast him a disdainful glance. This was the same person who had previously said he would use this ship to overturn
