Moreover, Krystal understood that the affairs of the underworld were not something a naive girl like Lina could fully
comprehend. She recalled how Nicholas had come to her rescue when her life hung by a thread, saving her from
the brink of death.
It was a simple act of kindness for Krystal, but for the young and grateful Krystal, Nicholas was a hero who had
seemingly descended from the heavens. She had always wanted to find a way to repay him, but instead, she
unintentionally ended up aiding the villains 20 years ago. The remorse had haunted her ever since. Finally, now she
had the chance…
Krystal smirked and looked at Lina, ready to speak, but Krystal continued before she could ask any questions. “By
the way, let Nicholas know that Krys feels like she has let him down. Despite everything, I find myself still involved in
this shady business instead of walking the righteous path.”
Lina paused for a moment, collecting her thoughts, and replied softly, “One’s actions are often beyond their control
in the underworld.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKrystal’s hand, holding the doorknob, froze. She looked at Lina with a hint of incredulity in her gaze.
Lina smiled awkwardly. “I may not fully understand your affairs, but I can comprehend that when it comes to
survival, people often make choices that are most beneficial to themselves. So, I don’t think you have disappointed
anyone, Madame Krys.”
Krystal’s lips twitched, wanting to say something, but she found herself unable to utter a word.
“However, understanding doesn’t equate to approval.” Lina chuckled. “The businesses you have been involved in
are undoubtedly in the gray area, if not outright illegal… Regardless, I genuinely hope that you can change your
ways!”
Krystal chuckled in response. It was the first time she, as the boss calling the shots in the underworld, had been
lectured by a young girl. Strangely, the girl’s words resonated with her, even though she knew redemption was
unlikely in this lifetime.
“You truly resemble your father,” she said solemnly. “Your words echo his.”
Lina’s expression changed, and she lowered her gaze.
Krystal briefly entered the room and emerged, holding something in her hand. Lina and Renee took a look at it.
It was a wanted poster issued by the Southeast Aciatic police. The person depicted in the photo was none other
than the man lying unconscious in the other half of the cabin.
“Among Justin’s subordinates, there is an undercover agent sent by the police,” Krystal explained succinctly. “After
all these years, the Southeast Aciatic police likely have sufficient evidence. It’s only a matter of time before they
apprehend him.”
Lina and Renee exchanged glances, remaining silent.
“So, this time, we’re heading to Southeast Aciatic,” Krystal stated, looking at them. “Once the ship docks, there will
be a fierce battle… Justin won’t have time for the two of you then. You can take advantage of the chaos and
disembark.
“Once you reach Southeast Aciatic, you’ll have to rely on yourselves!”
Back in Centrolis…
Zuko and Toph accompanied Nicholas once again to the prison.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis time, when they saw Melvin, he no longer exuded the same arrogance as before. He emerged from behind the
door, limping and restrained by handcuffs and shackles. His body was covered in wounds, although none were fatal.
They were agonizing wounds that left him incapable of eating or drinking.
Melvin received special “attention” from Nicholas’ subordinates every day in prison. The prison guards showed him
no mercy, harshly striking his calf with their batons whenever he showed any signs of slowing down.
Melvin screamed in agony, collapsing to the floor like a dog with severed tendons.
Nicholas sat there, his expression cold, anger brewing in his eyes.
“Heh… If you can, get someone to kill me…” Melvin smirked, speaking defiantly. “If you kill me… your daughter will
never return! I’ve already sold her! Hahaha… Nicholas, when you seek pleasure, you may stumble upon her…
Hahaha!”
Nicholas clenched his fists tightly!
Before he could strike, Zuko swiftly rushed forward and stomped heavily on Melvin’s head!
The prison guards made a symbolic attempt to intervene but quickly backed away.
“Don’t worry. I won’t let you die so easily.” Zuko gritted his teeth. “I have plenty of ways and means to play with
you! I’ll make you suffer until you beg for life but find no solace in death!”
