Chapter 135 Lucas Is Dead?
Facing Lucas‘ cold and threatening demeanor, 1 instinctively took a step back
Despite the fierce fire burning in the cabin behind him, Lucas seemed unfazed. Suddenly,
his dark eyes narrowed at me with a hint of a smile.
He quickly got up from the ground and strode toward me, grabbing my hand and polling
me into his arms. Looking up at Officer Jackson and Idris on the opposite yacht, he
smirked. “Since I can’t escape, taking a woman with me to the netherworld isn’t a bad
idea.”
Saying this, he pulled me toward the blazing cabin, even kicking over all the oil drums on
the deck. In an instant, the black oil met the flames, and a fierce fire engulfed the entire
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdeck and cabin.
Lucas dragged me into the sea of fire. The pungent smoke was suffocating, and I could not
breathe.
Through the flames, I thought I saw Idris leap from the opposite yacht, rushing toward us.
I wanted to tell him to leave; Lucas clearly intended to take me down with him. His arrival
would only result in more loss of life. But the thick smoke choked my words.
Lucas saw Idris running toward us too. His smile grew as he hoarsely whispered in my ear,
“Yvette, it seems we won’t be lonely on the road to the netherworld.”
Watching Idris approach, my eyes reddened. I had inhaled too much smoke and was
struggling to breathe. With the last of my strength, I pushed Lucas away and shouted at
Idris, “Idris, have you lost your mind?”
Idris had already reached me. As he saw Lucas staggering in the fire, he grabbed me,
trying to lead me
to safety.
However, Lucas suddenly caught me, holding a burning piece of wood in his hand and
swinging it at Idris. Fortunately, Idris was agile and managed to dodge him.
Taking advantage of Lucas‘ distraction, Idris pushed me out of the cabin. I stumbled a few
steps and stood firm, only to hear Officer Jackson’s panicked voice from the opposite
yacht, “Get away quickdy, that yacht is about to explode!”
The fire was too intense. After Idris pushed me out of the cabin, all I could see inside were

Realizing the yacht was about to explode, I trembled in panic, shouting Idris’s name into
the cabin, but only the fierce wind and thick smoke on the sea answered me
Just as I tried to go back in for Idris, he emerged from the cabin, covering his mouth and
nose with his clothes. Before I could say anything, he wrapped his arms around my waist
and whispered in my ear, Let’s go!”
Then, he half–carried me and we leaped into the sea.
Boom! An explosion sounded.
The scorching heat wave hit us, but thankfully, Officer Jackson had arranged a lifeboat,
quickly rescuing Idris and me to shore.
Everything happened so fast. When I looked back at the burning yacht, it had already
been blown apart, leaving only fragments scattered across the vast sea, still sparking
“Lucas… is dead?” I could not believe that such a villain had died just like that. Idris looked
up at the debris, his dark eyes filled with emotions I could not decipher. After a long while,
he hummed in a low voice and then fell silent
