Chapter 129 You Are Still Somewhat Useful
Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but feel elated. I looked at Sebastian and said, “We’re saved, the police are here to rescue us.”
Watching me being happy, Sebastian’s face remained serious, without a smile, only a frown between her eyebrows.
Seeing him like this, I couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
He frowned, “I came here to make money. If the police come, I won’t get the money.”
Seeing him like this, I couldn’t help but ask, “Are you short of money?”
He furrowed his brows, his face slightly darkened, and his voice became somewhat heavier, “Who isn’t short of money?”
Eh, that’s true!
I didn’t continue to talk to him anymore, instead, I looked around the environment for an exit. The only exit in this place was an iron door, which was locked tightly.
I raised my hand and knocked a few times, but it was of no use. The gunshots outside were getting louder. Probably because we were under the cabin, the sound wasn’t too loud, but it was audible.
Unable to find an exit, I could only pace back and forth anxiously. About ten minutes later, the iron door was suddenly opened.
With a “bang”, the pitch-black room suddenly lit up, and Ezra hurriedly entered with two people from outside the iron door.

Upon seeing him, a jolt shot through my brow and I instinctively stepped back a few paces.
After Ezra entered, his dark eyes swept over me and Sebastian, then he said to his two subordinates, “Prepare to leave immediately.”
“Yes!” After the two people answered in unison, they knocked open the iron plate underground, and a entrance surprisingly appeared under the originally thick floor.
Before I had time to be surprised, I was suddenly pulled down by Ezra’s people, along with Sebastian.
Beneath the floor was a whole new sight that I had never seen before. The bottom of the cruise ship was designed like a massive parking lot. In addition to some multi-million dollar luxury cars and yachts, there were also submarines.
Before I even had a chance to take a closer look, I was forcibly dragged into a submarine by Ezra’s men. There was an exit at the bottom of the cruise ship, large enough for ordinary vehicles and yachts to pass through. After the submarine left the yacht, Ezra immediately ordered his men to blow up the cruise ship.
Both of them were taken aback, probably not expecting Ezra to be so ruthless. One of the men hesitated and said, “Ezra, this cruise ship is worth billions, and the things inside it are almost worth tens of billions. Just blowing it up like this…”
“What? You want to leave it for the cops who followed us?” Ezra gave the speaking man a cold glance. Upon hearing this, the man quickly shook his head.
Following Ezra’s instructions, they bombed the mail ship.
My mind was racing. Considering what Ezra had just said about the police who had followed him, and seeing his current panicked state, it

was clear that a significant number of police officers must have arrived. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fled so hastily. He was ready to blow up something worth billions just like that.
As long as the police came, there was a chance for me to be rescued. With this thought in mind, I looked around. Ezra’s submarine was not big, it couldn’t stay submerged in the sea for long. As soon as he surfaced, I would have a chance to escape.
Ezra did not wait for the man who was supposed to bomb the mail ship, but instead had another man drive away in the submarine directly.
Not long after the submarine had started underwater, it surfaced, and it seemed that several yachts had been prepared on the sea surface early
Sebastian and I were once again brought onto the yacht.
Several people on the yacht, carrying guns, all called out “Ezra” when they saw Ezra.
Seeing me and Sebastian with our hands tied, one of the men carrying a gun said, “Ezra, not a bad haul. But didn’t the old man say he wanted a boy? Why did you bring a girl too?”
Ezra glanced at me and Sebastian, saying, “Take the man back to the old man, no need to worry about the woman.”
The man spat out the half-smoked cigarette from his mouth and said, “Alright then.”
Saying so, he abruptly pulled Sebastian, intending to take her away.
“Bang, bang…” A series of explosions suddenly echoed around, catching everyone on the yacht off guard. They quickly hid and readied their guns for a fight.
