Kaveh decided to forgo any further cursing and instead turned to compliment her.
“You’re amazing, girl. Your talent and skill overshadow even your beauty.”
Even on the brink of death, he couldn’t resist praising Seraphina.
Seraphina responded with a faint smile, though it was ged with sadness.
“No, it’s mostly the beauty,” she replied.
As she fired her third shot, the gun clicked empty–she was out of bullets.
Seraphina closed her eyes. She wanted to cry, but there were no tears.
She had imagined this moment countless times, thinking of all the things she would want to say before dying. Now, her mind was completely blank.
The fragments of stone that ricocheted from a nearby shot had cut her hand, leaving it bleeding profusely.
New wounds overlapped old scars, creating a horrific sight that barely resembled its original form.
The sound of footsteps was close, as if death itself was approaching.
If she had just one more bullet, she would save it for herself.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the barrel of a black gun aimed at her. She closed her eyes in despair
Suddenly, the air was filled with a deafening roar, growing louder and closer by the second.
A fleet of massive helicopters–dozens of them. The helicopters swarmed the sky above, obscuring the
sun.
The pirates‘ gunfire stopped as they realized that the real danger was no longer the woman in front of them but the sudden appearance of these giant helicopters.
They quickly turned their guns toward the new threat.
The helicopters were painted in military camouflage, and each was packed with people.
They expertly positioned the heavily armed helicopters in the air, while those with lighter weaponry lowered ropes, flipping the situation in an instant.
The soldiers poured out; their presence was overwhelming, just as powerful as the scene before them.
Seraphina was too weak to see who it was, but she heard Kaveh suddenly shout with joy.
“Orion! Uncle Orion! It’s me! Your favorite nephew!”
Oh, it’s Orion. He’s here!
And… Uncle Orion?

He was wearing a black trench coat, tall and imposing, with a gaze so cold that it sent shivers down her spine.
With the raging sea behind him and the massive helicopter overhead, Orion descended from the rope ladder with a gun in his right hand.
Despite the pirates and danger behind her, he walked toward her firmly.
A wild and murderous look replaced his usual noble and elegant demeanor.
Seraphina felt all her strength drain away. Her consciousness was slipping into darkness.
When Orion picked her up and noticed the bullet wound on her chest, his voice was raspy as he desperately called out her name.
So Orion can get anxious too!
The next second, the darkness consumed her entirely.
The cold wind howled as both sides faced off. The smell of gunpowder heightened the tension.
Unlike Seraphina, who hesitated to take lives, Orion’s men were seasoned warriors, hardened by countless battles. The challenge only fueled their drive to win.
Justin took Seraphina from Orion’s arms and carried her back to the helicopter. In just a few days, Seraphina’s lost a lot of weight.
