“Do I need a reason to come to you, Madame Krys?” The man’s hoarse voice echoed, each word feeling as blunt as
a dull knife. “Heh, I heard you have precious gems here, and I wanted to take a look!”
Lina couldn’t be certain, but she felt as though Krystal was deliberately blocking the man’s view. Was she trying to
protect them? It was hard to say for sure.
There was something cunning about this woman. If Lina had to say it, it seemed like Krystal was more interested in
safeguarding her own interests rather than protecting them.
Krystal spoke, crossing one hand over her chest and propping the other up. The cigarette between her fingers
burned slowly, exuding a sensual charm. “Justin, we may share this boat, you trafficking drugs and me transporting
people, but we should mind our own business. Why bother seeking treasures from me?”
“It’s precisely because we share the same boat and have this chance encounter that whoever gets the gems should
share them!” Justin patted her shoulder, a sinister smile spreading across his cunning face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith a display of force, he easily pushed Krystal aside. As his gaze fell upon Lina, his eyes filled with hostility. He
rushed toward her, gripping her chin tightly.
“Ah!” Lina was caught off guard, feeling as though her jawbone was about to be crushed.
Krystal was also taken aback. “Justin!”
“So, this is your gem?”
“Let her go.”
“Not bad!” Justin narrowed his eyes, his smile concealing a cunning and sly nature. “You little brat… you really
resemble your mother!”
Lina was shocked, her deep eyes locked onto his.
“Did your mother not tell you how she harmed my cousin back then? That wretched woman!”
Pain coursed through Lina’s body like every organ was torn apart. The man’s ferocity made it seem like he wanted
to devour her alive.
“The son pays for the father’s debt, and the daughter pays for her mother’s! Hahaha!”
Krystal interjected. “Justin, what do you intend to do?”
“Krystal, I’m taking this girl from you today!” Justin released Lina’s chin only to seize her hair. “How much? I’ll pay
you triple!”
“Well…” Krystal was shocked, her mind going blank.
Justin Truss was not a good person. He was sly, cunning, and engaged in wicked and abominable business practices.
It was easy to imagine the horrors Lina would face if she fell into his hands.
Justin dragged Lina toward the exit. Renee cried out and attempted to intervene, but she was forcefully pushed to
the ground by Justin’s men.
The corridor reverberated with Justin’s triumphant laughter.
Lina could only feel pain coursing through her body, from head to toe. She had expended all her strength, from
enduring the beating moments ago to now being dragged by this man. She felt utterly drained.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe wanted to resist, but it was futile. Despair momentarily consumed her thoughts. Just as thoughts of despair
flickered through her mind, her legs gave way, and she collapsed heavily onto the ground!
“You little bitch!”
Justin raised his foot to kick her but was halted by an opposing force.
Krystal stood beside him, composed and calm, wearing a cold smile. Several armed henchmen stood behind her,
creating an aura of imminent battle.
“Justin, the girl is mine. According to the street’s rules, you can’t just take her away like that!”
“Oh?” Justin arrogantly chuckled. “Has it become so difficult for me to ask you for a person now?”
“All my people are in the cabin. You can freely choose from them!” Krystal crossed her arms, a resolute expression
on her face. “But I plan to sell these two girls at a high price!
“Anyone who dares lay a finger on them will be obstructing my path to wealth! Heh, Justin, you know my
temperament…
“You can destroy everything else, but if you obstruct my path to wealth…” Krystal paused. “I’ll fight you to the
death!”
