Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240 The Pirates Attack 

“Run into the forest!” 

Seraphina spoke slowly, but her feet were constantly moving. 

“Aren’t those savages there?” 

“They’re kinder than pirates!” 

True enough! 

The two ran without looking back, their steps determined and resolute. The cold wind lashed against their faces, biting and painful. 

They ran breathlessly and dared not stop for a second. The situation was far more perilous than it had been that night. 

They could hear the chaotic footsteps and wild laughter of the pursuers behind them, along with the occasional gunshot warning. 

It felt like a primitive, brutal hunting game. 

They were the targets of the hunt. 

Seraphina had never felt so grounded in her life. Every nerve in her body trembled with terror. 

Suddenly, her foot slipped, and she crashed to the ground. Her knee was slamming down with a dull thud/ as if her bones had shattered. 

Kaveh turned around and saw her biting her lip in pain, her face was pale. He turned around to lift her onto his back. 

Seraphina pushed him away. She gritted her teeth as she used her hands to push herself up. She forced a faint, pained smile. 

“Save your strength. I can still run.” 

Kaveh looked at her. He nodded, grabbed her arm, and pulled her along. They didn’t stop. 

The pain in her knee was excruciating, as if her entire leg was about to give out. 

She couldn’t stop. Seraphina kept running, her forehead covered with sweat, betraying the agony she was enduring. 

The gunshots behind them grew louder, and the footsteps drew closer. 

Seraphina’s heart pounded violently, as if a hand were squeezing her throat. Her body’s limits were warring with her mind. 

Without hesitation, she obeyed the commands of her willpower. 

The cold wind carried the sharp cracks of gunfire. They didn’t dare to relax for even a second.

Chapter 240 The Pirates Attack 

Finished 

The pirates must have spotted the distressed sign Seraphina had left, leading them right to the savages. 

As they neared the smoke rising from the savage village, their breathing eased. Kaveh led her to the side, circling around to a large tree behind the village. 

This was where they stored dry branches, with the smell of fish oil still lingering on them. 

“Bang-” 

A gunshot rang out, startling the savages. They jumped up and gripped their wooden sticks in alarm. 

Seraphina and Kaveh exchanged a glance. His expression was uncharacteristically serious. He raised a finger to his lips, signaling for silence. 

Immediately after, they heard a flurry of footsteps as the savages ran. Their feet were crunching over the branches. They shouted in their own language, issuing what sounded like stern warnings. 

The pirates cursed as their gunfire echoed. The atmosphere was tense. 

The pirates were armed with guns. Naturally, they weren’t afraid of the savages. 

They faced an overwhelming number of opponents and had a limited supply of bullets. Therefore, their advantage wasn’t as overwhelming as they’d hoped. 

Their frustration grew as they realized they had followed their prey here, only to find nothing but savages. 

They had been tricked.
