Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 803

Tobias stood up and left.

He had no more time to explain the situation to the children.

Alicia looked at Zack worriedly.

However, Zack wasn't looking at her.

Instead, his gaze was fixed on the chessboard, on Tobias' last move.

He then moved the king forward even though it was a checkmate.

No matter what he did, the outcome was already decided.

“Zack ..." Alicia called.

Zack had heard about pirates from Jack—they were a bunch of heartless monsters in human skin.

They used to rule the seas and would do anything to fill their own pockets.

Naturally, they had their eyes on this ship transporting raw mineral materials.

Zack knew that they were in big trouble.

He knew of the dangers but he didn't have the capability to neutralize them.

All he could do was try to find Jack as soon as possible and have him bring them away before chaos ensued.

He was only three years old, but he already knew the meaning of life and death.

The two children didn't know why they were trying so hard to live.

They were like mindless drones that could only push on even when life was hard.

They didn't even have the chance to visit their mother's grave.

"Let's go." Zack grabbed Alicia's hand.

Before they left, he tooka tablecloth and put the unfinished cake and snacks in it.

Then, he tied it around his neck with two knots.

They were still young, but they knew exactly what to do when they needed to run away.

Alicia knew Zack very well and she immediately understood what he wanted to do.

"But, Mr.

Tobias ..."" Alicia started.

Zack said calmly, "We have to find Dad." Zack knew that Jack was the only person on the ship who could get them out of trouble.

They opened the door and saw the sailors gathering.

There was a huge ship in the distance.

Its lights pierced through the dark and its flags fluttered in the wind.

They didn't have a telescope, and it was very dark out.
