Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246 Three Billions Ransom 

The two sides stood off, neither willing to back down. 

The sea breeze carried along the strong scent of gunpowder. The tension between them was palpable, ready to explode at any moment. 

The earlier gunfight was just one–sided suppression; Seraphina didn’t have the strength to fight back. 

The table turned, and Orion had more people on his side, and each one was highly trained. 

They were well–armed, leaving the pirate gang at a disadvantage, yet they still held their ground. 

Now, it was a standoff between equals. 

The pirate leader’s vicious expression softened slightly, his hawk–like eyes narrowing as he ordered his men to lower their guns. 

In situations like this, the only thing left was negotiation. 

“Orion, let’s talk. Otherwise, even if you win, you won’t make it out of Etrium. That woman injured two of my brothers, and we need to settle that score.” 

Orion fell silent briefly before chuckling softly. 

“Fine. Name your price.” 

The pirate grinned arrogantly. He raised five fingers before pointing at Kaveh, who was hiding behind a rock. 

“And that worthless coward–double the price for both of them.” 

Orion glanced at Kaveh, his voice as cold as ice. 

“He’s not worth anything.” 

As the giant helicopter prepared to take off, Orion stood aboard, facing the pirates. The cold sea wind bit 

his skin. 

His voice was clear and chilling as he spoke, “I’ve transferred three times the amount to your account. Three billion dollars.” 

One billion per person, and he paid for three. 

It was a grand display of generosity. 

The pirate leader was overjoyed. His hawk–like gaze gleamed with greed and was filled with delight. 

This trip had certainly paid off. 

The next moment

chest. Everyone around them was shocked. 

Orion’s attitude remained casual, not the least bit concerned about provoking them. 

His gaze was cold and menacing as he lowered the gun 

He withdrew his hands and looked at the pirate leader, 

His tone was deadly serious. 

“Consider that bullet a return of your favors.” 

No one could threaten Seraphina’s life. Someone had to pay for the bullet that pierced her chest! 

Finished 

Including the pirate leader, there were three people in total. He had paid three billion dollars for their lives–no more, no less, just right. 

The shot tensed the atmosphere, which had just started to case. 

Everyone’s expressions turned wary and anxious as they raised their weapons again. 

Compared to Orion’s forces, with their advanced weapons and superior numbers, the pirate gang was utterly outmatched. 

Dozens of giant helicopters hovered overhead, forming a tight encirclement. 

Dark shadows loomed over the island. The oppressive atmosphere weighs down on everyone. 

Despite their reluctance, the pirates could only watch as Orion’s helicopter disappeared from view. 

On a massive ship located two thousand nautical miles away. 

Seraphina tossed and turned in her sleep, the swaying sea keeping her from resting peacefully. 

Her mind was trapped in a nightmare where she was constantly dodging the pirates attacks, with endless bullets whizzing past her head. 

Seraphina kept running despite the gunfire that rained down on her, with no way out of sight. 

Suddenly, the ground beneath her gave way. She felt herself plunging into a bottomless abyss.
