Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236 The Way Back 

Finished 

He kept scrutinizing Seraphina’s delicate appearance. Clearly, she would rather die than rely on that for 

survival. 

“How long have you been here, playing the wild man?” 

Seraphina couldn’t help but pry. She didn’t understand why the savages tried to burn her but spared Kaveh. 

Kaveh noticed her thoughts and nodded slightly. 

“To avoid being their enemy, you must become one of them. They’re not that smart; they won’t notice the difference.” 

Seraphina nodded in agreement, thinking how much better things might have been if they had met 

sooner. 

Her only regret was that they had a meeting too late. That sentiment seemed perfectly fitting for this situation. 

She shuddered, remembering the moment she nearly burned alive. Her heart is pounding with terror. 

If not for that timely rain, she might be ashes. 

Seraphina’s face was filled with confusion and lingering fear. 

“Do you know why they wanted to burn me?” 

“It was probably for a ritual. In a joint publication by Etopia and Iothya, I read that in primitive tribes, when they encounter someone who looks and acts strangely, they believe killing them will bring blessings. 

“The ritual involves fire, and they offer their best food, hoping that the person will take it to the afterlife and bless them with more food. But if the ritual fails, they must stop immediately. That’s why I ran with you as soon as the rain started. 

Seraphina bit her lip; that rain had genuinely saved her 

Thank God! 

Enough, she thought. I should stop thinking about this. 

She didn’t want to dwell on it anymore. Once in a lifetime was more than enough for such an experience. 

Her mood, which had been dark and heavy, lifted slightly. This was probably the most relaxed she had felt in days. 

She chuckled and suddenly recalled something important. There was a hint of doubt in her voice. 

“Is this island on the map?” 

She thought logically that her family wouldn’t just sit by if something happened to her. 

If they couldn’t find her in the crash area, the rescue team would surely expand the search.

Chapter 236 The Way Back 

After so many days, there was no sign of a rescue, almost as if everyone had forgotten about her. 

She couldn’t help but wonder if this place even existed. 

Kaveh’s expression grew slightly serious as he sighed. 

“It’s on the map, but …” 

“But what?” Seraphina pressed.

Kaveh hesitated before speaking, choosing his words carefully. “But this place has been marked as an international no–go zone. The surrounding waters are notorious for pirate activity. Any ship that passes through risks international conflict and huge losses, so the pirates have used special equipment to block this area from satellite maps.” 

Seraphina was speechless. 

Could things get any worse? 

It felt like a heavy boulder had dropped onto her heart, making it hard to breathe. 

Just when she thought she had found a glimmer of hope, reality hit her like a ton of bricks. 

“So, we’re stuck here with no way out?” 

The rescue planes and boats wouldn’t find them. They couldn’t hope for a bunch of pirates to come and save them. That would be worse than being eaten by savages. 

Sensing the growing tension, Kaveh gave her a reassuring smile.
