Isabella let go of his hand and quickly added, “I just went upstairs and saw a woman
holding him at gunpoint with a wooden barrel, and they went downstairs together.”
“Are you sure?” Seth questioned.
“Sure, Isabella emphasized.
Seth grabbed her wrist, pulled her to a nearby room, and called Jordan.

“Have two people guard the door,” he instructed.
Isabella watched him leave. “What are you going to do?”
Seth didn’t answer her question directly but said, “Stay here. Don’t go anywhere. If I

A small yacht drifted on the sea, gently swaying with the waves.
Simon stood at the boat’s bow, his face calm and unwavering. He was unaffected by
the wooden gun behind him and could still comfort the person behind him.
“You don’t need to be nervous. Even without a wooden gun, I am not your opponent.”
In the cabin, the girl leaned against the railing, her eyes half-closed.
“The girl just now, is she the one you like?” she inquired.
Simon was momentarily taken aback, turned his head, and remained silent.
The girl opened her eyes, blinking like a cat in the dark night.
“You tensed up all over the moment you saw her, afraid that I would hurt her, right?”

“What’s your name?” the girl asked.
“Simon Gates.”
The girl nodded and pointed to herself. “Scarlet Swine.”
She didn’t elaborate on her name, keeping it simple and concise.

As he pondered this, the sound of helicopter propellers came from above, and a rope
ladder descended from the sky.
Scarlet stood up, walked to the bedside, and flicked her tongue at Simon.
“Go back and remind your friend that making money is important, but so is saving lives.
Next time, if those desperate men sneak onto the ship again, we may not be able to
save you in time.
Simon nodded. “Thank you.”
Scarlet grabbed the rope ladder, moved swiftly like a cat, and vanished before Sim
eyes.
The helicopter circled in the sky twice before disappearing into the night.
