NovelEnglishChapter 214: The shooting aimed at Amiri caught everyone off guard. Marissa and Connor were no exception to the shock The true surprise, however, lay in the identity of the gunman: a man in black who accompanied Elvis. Only those in Elvis' entourage were allowed to bring weapons, as everyone else had been meticulously scanned before entering Starlight Hall This pointed to an unsettling truth: the gunman must be linked to the Sunrise. The crowd gasped and turned their eyes toward the gunman Elvis' companions, all bodyguards for the Sunrise, wore matching black uniforms, hats, and masks, each bearing the distinctive logo of the cruise ship Unruffled by the multitude of stares, the man who had pulled the trigger stood his ground, his demeanor calm. With cold precision, he fired twice more at Amiri, each bullet finding its mark between the eyebrows "0987, what are you doing!?" Elvis' voice thundered in fury. The bodyguards on the Sunrise were known by numbers, and this one was called 0987 At that moment, a man in nothing but underwear burst into the room, exclaiming, “I'm the real 0987! He knockedout and stole my uniform!" This revelation shifted all attention and weapons toward the imposter. "Seize his weapon!" Elvis commanded with an authoritative tone. Without resistance, the fake 0987 surrendered his gun Despite the multitude of barrels pointed at his head, the counterfeit 0987 maintained his composure, a smug grin spreading across his face Elvis stepped up briskly, tore off the imposter's hat and mask, and peered closely at him Seeing a face he did not recognize, Elvis queried his assistant, "Does he belong to our staff?"

The imposter's mouth bled, but he managed a faint smile. "I'm a nobody. Even if I told you my name, it wouldn't mean anything to you. I hold a deep grudge against Amiri and wanted him dead. My actions weren't meant to offend the Sunrise." Given Amiri's notorious past, it wasn't shocking that someone would seek vengeance so brazenly. Elvis sighed.

"I never expected to walk away from this. My fate is in your hands." Elvis studied the youthful face before him and shook his head. “Such a young and handsman, and now bound for a watery grave. What a waste." Despite his pity, Elvis knew the rules of the Sunrise were inviolable, even by him "Any last words, young man?" Elvis asked
The imposter cast a fleeting glance at Marissa, then bowed his head those I love will live a saying, hopshead, I wonderful life."
