The henchman suddenly raised his head, his sinister eyes filled with intense killing intent and madness. In the flash of cold light, he stabbed the mercenary with the knife he had hidden in his hand!
He always carried this knife with him; it was a gift from Hack, and he had originally intended to keep it as a collectible. He never expected to need it again.
The thought of this filled the trusted henchman with bitterness.
"Die! Avenge our boss!"
The change happened too fast. The mercenary was a veteran who had retired from the battlefield. Alarm bells rang in his mind, and he instinctively attacked with his trusted henchman. But as the saying goes, "Those who cheat are afraid of those who are tough, those who are tough are afraid of those who are reckless, and those who are reckless are afraid of those who are suicidal."
It's obvious that this trusted henchman is reckless.
Ignoring the bullets hitting him, he focused solely on stabbing the mercenary in the neck. The mercenary, fearing he would be killed by this amateur's wild punches, was caught off guard and had his gun snatched away!
The situation changed too quickly, in just a fleeting instant—
The henchman had already kicked the mercenary, grabbed his gun, and charged towards Lin Chen, fearless of death!
"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you! Ahhhhhh!"
Soon, the mercenaries who had realized what was happening opened fire on him, but even though his trusted henchmen had suffered many gunshot wounds, he still charged forward relentlessly, as if he had forgotten the pain and was left only with hatred!
He frantically pulled the trigger: "Die, die, die—"
So many things happened in the blink of an eye. Ruan Qingan even felt like he was watching a melon, only to have it fall to the ground.
She and 037 exclaimed: "Chaos, it's fucking chaotic!"
But at times like this, being fearless is truly reckless. Regardless of how many shots he's taken, all that's left in his mind is the thought of rushing up to Lin Chen and shooting him to death. He's like a mad dog, biting anyone he sees.
This trusted henchman was clearly only after the gun.
Bullets flew everywhere.
In an instant, the trusted henchman pounced forward, his target Lin Chen. They were already close enough that even the mercenary couldn't easily fire, and it was difficult to guarantee that Lin Chen wouldn't be injured.
Unable to make a reckless move, they ended up in a stalemate.
Lin Chen was locked in combat with his trusted henchman. He was very skilled, but his opponent was reckless, like a mad dog, and was constantly taking cover from stray shots while holding a gun. Even Lin Chen found it difficult to control him in a short time because his trusted henchman was truly fighting without any regard for the consequences.
It was as if they would bite Lin Chen to death even if he lost his hands and feet!
"Give me back my boss's life! You can die now, Lin Chen!"
"Ha, if I hadn't been prepared, Huck would have killed me too."
Lin Chen sneered and kicked his trusted underling straight in the chest. In the chaos, the underling had already been shot in the waist and abdomen.
Unexpectedly, the person grabbed his leg!
He pulled out a gun and, taking advantage of Lin Chen's momentary lapse in concentration, was about to fire at his chest: "Die! Die!!!"
Seeing that the situation was dire, Lin Chen's expression turned grim, because his trusted subordinate was about to die and this was his last stand, clearly wanting to take him down with him.
But just then—
'Bang bang bang!'
Several gunshots suddenly rang out, and Lin Chen's sense of crisis gradually eased, because the underling in front of him, who seemed to be in a final burst of energy, had now completely lost his life. One bullet pierced his heart, another entered his body, and the others hit the ground.
Now, he is truly dead beyond dead...
And those shots just now.
Lin Chen paused, and subconsciously looked up. He saw mercenaries with guns on their hands rushing over not far from the deck, their faces filled with horror. A few meters away from him stood a petite girl.
Her pretty face was deathly pale, as if all the color had been drained from her body. She was trembling slightly, as if all her strength had been drained away. Ruan Qing'an gripped the gun tightly in her hand, aiming it at Lin Chen. Her slender arms were shaking.
Clearly, those shots were fired by Nguyen Thanh An.
If she had been just one step later, it might have been Lin Chen who died.
"It hit, it hit you..."
She murmured softly, filled with the joy of surviving a disaster, but her arms had long since given way and hung limply. Then, Ruan Qing'an's body went limp and collapsed.
Lin Chen rushed forward and, before she fell to the ground, pulled her into his arms, holding her slender waist tightly. Only then did he realize that Ruan Qing'an had already fainted, and the gun fell to the ground with a 'clatter,' and her arm went limply down. Only then did he realize that her arm was broken.
Upon noticing, Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.
The turmoil here once again provoked a counterattack from Hark's henchmen, but Lin Chen simply stood still, his eyes filled with cold ferocity. He looked up, his deep red earring gleaming in the sunlight.
Yet... it seemed to carry a strong smell of blood.
Lin Chen looked at his mercenaries, his smile tinged with coldness: "Go, deal with them, they're an eyesore."
"If I can't deal with them, I'll deal with you."
The young man's voice still carried a hint of laughter, yet it sent shivers down the spines of all the mercenaries, who turned to deal with the resisting underlings.
For a moment, gunshots and the sounds of beatings mingled together.
Lin Chen picked up the unconscious girl and carried her to his room on the cruise ship. His face was expressionless, like the eve of a storm, with thick darkness engulfing everything.
He was a little angry.
But... he was angry with himself.
...
When Ruan Qing'an groggily opened her eyes again, the bright sunlight streaming into the room from outside the window shone through the window. She subconsciously looked outside and saw the azure sky and the sea merging into a single line in the distance.
After blinking, Ruan Qingan finally came to her senses.
037 let out a series of wailing cries: "Waaah, my ancestor! My ancestor! You should just stay useless and stop doing this!"
Nguyen Thanh An: ...
She sighed helplessly, then turned her gaze to her arms, which were now in casts and looked quite pitiful, with a faint, lingering pain.
Just then, she heard voices outside the door.
A familiar young man's voice could be faintly heard.
"How is the situation?"
"Don't worry, young master. Madam only broke her arm. The recoil of the rifle was too great, and Madam had no experience handling guns and had never practiced. So it's normal that she couldn't withstand it. It took several shots to break her arm."
"Of course, this is also because Madam's health is not very good. She will need to exercise more in the future. That's all."
"Okay, I understand."
After a brief exchange, the footsteps outside faded into the distance.
Ruan Qing'an could guess some of it and couldn't help but sigh: "It's because the original owner's body was too weak. It's not that he didn't exercise. He was just an ordinary person before, and then he was imprisoned for such a long time. Long-term imprisonment would have ruined his body long ago."
037: [Alas, the original owner's death was inevitable.]
Just as the one-person-one-system was reflecting on this, the door to the room opened, and Lin Chen strolled in from outside.
