NovelEnglishChapter 0770 Suzy stared at the monstrous wave closing in on them, and despite her composed exterior, fear gripped her heart.
After all, she was human, and humans feel fear, especially when someone else's life depended on them. With Diana on her back, her tension was overwhelming.
Her palms, clenched around the control lever, were already slick with sweat.
"Diana, don't be afraid," she whispered, her voice steady but more for herself than the unconscious girl.
"I'll get you out of here safely. You'll be back with Grandma and Dylan soon, I promise." Repeating those words was her way of calming her own nerves, a mantra to keep her focus sharp.

As the wave reached them, towering and unstoppable, Suzy gritted her teeth, summoning every ounce of her strength and willpower.
At the very last moment, she yanked the controls, pouring all her effort into steering the ship.
Against all odds, the vessel turned. The ship, which was on a collision course with the wave, miraculously adjusted its direction just in time.
The middle-aged man's jaw dropped, his face filled with disbelief. "You... you actually did it?!" Even Suzy was momentarily stunned. She hadn't expected to pull it off.
"I've been piloting ships for decades, and even I can't always avoid a situation like this. But you, a young, slim girl, you actually pulled it off!" His gaze shifted to one of admiration, bordering on reverence.
Suzy flashed him a faint smile. "Maybe that just means your skills need work." The man was speechless.
"I'm kidding," Suzy added quickly, giving him a once-over.
"We've just been through life and death together, so I want to ask you something. Would you be willing to answer honestly?" The man didn't hesitate for a second. "Ask away. I'll tell you everything I know." Suzy's eyes narrowed slightly as she asked, "Was that woman on the deck your boss?" "More or less." "More or less?" Suzy caught onto the phrasing, her sharp gaze narrowing. It sounded like there was someone even higher up pulling the strings.
"She's not as high-ranking as you might think," the man explained.
"She's just another pawn, not much different from the others you took out earlier. She only seemed important because she was put in charge of this mission." "What's the nof your organization?" Suzy asked, trying to piece together what kind of group could operate so fearlessly, not only against her but even against Dylan's powerful connections.
The man shook his head.

My job is to take them wherever they need to go, nothing more." F? Suzy frowned. It was her first thearing about such an organization.
Over the years, she had made plenty of enemies-being an assassin cwith its own set of risks. She'd encountered and taken down various groups, but she had never cacross one called "F" "What do you know about your real leader?" Suzy pressed.
"What do I know? Absolutely nothing!" The man let out a bitter laugh.
"Like I said, I'm just a captain. I've never even seen the boss. Idonlin even know if they're a man or a woman!" "How secretive." "Exactly. Only the inner circle has met the boss." "Who's in the inner circle?" Suzy asked, more out of habit than expectation.
To her surprise, the man actually responded. "The only nI've ever heard is..."
