Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244 The Failed Negotiation. 

Seraphina’s face paled as she realized the gravity of the situation. 

Finished 

The man she held captive was clearly not a key player; otherwise, they wouldn’t be so indifferent to his 

fate. 

In an instant, she could sense the cold, lethal intent in the movements of the men across from her. They were ready to kill without hesitation. 

With a quick glance, she noticed a large rock about a few dozen meters to her left–a potential cover if things turned ugly. 

If a fight broke out, the gun in her hand had only a few bullets left. Her chances of survival were minimal due to the overwhelming number of opponents. 

How long could she possibly hold out? 

No matter how she looked at it, she was at a complete disadvantage. 

Wait! 

She took a deep breath and attempted to negotiate with the pirates.. 

“Let’s talk.” 

The pirate leader was enraged. His vicious eyes showed no room for negotiation. 

His cold, menacing gaze sent a chill down her spine. 

Seraphina pressed on, “Name your terms. The plane I was on crashed, and we ended up here by accident. We have no real conflicts of interest. Let us go, and you can name your price.” 

The man sneered at her in disdain. His face was twisted with anger and contempt. 

“Name my price? How much do you think you’re worth? 

Seraphina was about to respond. The man she had subdued on the ground suddenly broke free. He lunged at Seraphina with a fist. 

She was forced to step back, so she took the opportunity to kick Kaveh behind a nearby rock. 

“Why are you wasting time? Are you really going to let a woman humiliate you? Shoot her!” commanded a shorter, slimmer pirate. 

No sooner had he spoken than gunfire erupted, and Seraphina reacted instantly. 

She dropped low and darted behind a smaller rock. 

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” 

Bullets flew toward her! The sharp sound was piercing 

The sound of bullets ricocheting off the rocks. The whizzing of stray rounds barely missed her–her blood

Chapter 244 The Failed Negotiation. 

Death was so close. 

Finished 

The relentless gunfire and the howling sea wind–the situation had spiraled beyond control, with every passing second more perilous than the last. 

Kaveh saw her fall into a daze. He shouted in horror, “Seraphina–stay hidden!” 

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” The gunfire was relentless. 

The oppressive onslaught felt like a slow, torturous death, with each passing moment dragging her closer to despair. 

Seraphina closed her eyes briefly. She took a deep breath before raising her gun. 

It didn’t matter anymore–if she had to die, she would make it count. 

Suddenly, she twisted around and fired from behind the rock. 

“Bang- 

She was certain that her shot had hit one of the pirates in the shoulder. 

She didn’t kill because she was different from them–more restrained yet still defiant! 

After all, she had received professional shooting training.
