"Do I need a reason to come to you, Madame Krys?" The man's hoarse voice echoed, each word feeling as blunt as a dull knife. "Heh, I heard you have precious gems here, and I wanted to take a look!"
Lina couldn't be certain, but she felt as though Krystal was deliberately blocking the man's view. Was she trying to protect them? It was hard to say for sure.
There was something cunning about this woman. If Lina had to say it, it seemed like Krystal was more interested in safeguarding her own interests rather than protecting them.
Krystal spoke, crossing one hand over her chest and propping the other up. The cigarette between her fingers burned slowly, exuding a sensual charm. "Justin, we may share this boat, you trafficking drugs and me transporting people, but we should mind our own business. Why bother seeking treasures from me?"
"It's precisely because we share the same boat and have this chance encounter that whoever gets the gems should share them!" Justin patted her shoulder, a sinister smile spreading across his cunning face.
With a display of force, he easily pushed Krystal aside. As his gaze fell upon Lina, his eyes filled with hostility. He rushed toward her, gripping her chin tightly.
"Ah!" Lina was caught off guard, feeling as though her jawbone was about to be crushed.
Krystal was also taken aback. "Justin!"
"So, this is your gem?"
"Let her go."
"Not bad!" Justin narrowed his eyes, his smile concealing a cunning and sly nature. "You little brat... you really resemble your mother!"
Lina was shocked, her deep eyes locked onto his.
"Did your mother not tell you how she harmed my cousin back then? That wretched woman!"
Pain coursed through Lina's body like every organ was torn apart. The man's ferocity made it seem like he wanted to devour her alive.
"The son pays for the father's debt, and the daughter pays for her mother's! Hahaha!"
Justin raised his foot to kick her but was halted by an opposing force.
Krystal stood beside him, composed and calm, wearing a cold smile. Several armed henchmen stood behind her, creating an aura of imminent battle.
"Justin, the girl is mine. According to the street's rules, you can't just take her away like that!"
"Oh?" Justin arrogantly chuckled. "Has it become so difficult for me to ask you for a person now?"
"All my people are in the cabin. You can freely choose from them!" Krystal crossed her arms, a resolute expression on her face. "But I plan to sell these two girls at a high price!
"Anyone who dares lay a finger on them will be obstructing my path to wealth! Heh, Justin, you know my temperament...
"You can destroy everything else, but if you obstruct my path to wealth..." Krystal paused. "I'll fight you to the death!"
