The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 106

A second after the initial shock, I finally reacted. I had expected that she would abandon me.

I whipped out the gun from its holster and gripped it with shaky hands. I waved it at the people around me and warned, “Don’t touch me! I will shoot whoever who dares touch me! “

Then, I glared at Laura in anger and said, “Don’t force me off this boat. You have no right to determine whether I live or die. I am not one of your men! If you want someone to go down, why don’t you go down yourself, you despicable woman! “

Laura’s brows wrinkled in frustration as her eyes reflected a venomous glare. She said, “Every success comes with a price. It’s a pity that you were born unlucky, Linda. You were destined to be bait, so now’s your chance to fulfill your destiny.“

After that, she raised her voice and spoke to everyone else on the boat. “What are you all waiting for? Do you all want to die here?“

The sailors on board were eyeing each other in hesitation before glancing at me. They used to be companions whom I spent time with every single day. Now, their faces were painted in complicated expressions. They were an ugly mixture of fear, suffering, desire, and greed.

My hands were shaking as I held the gun, and their expressions sent me a chill as I said, ”Hey, don’t listen to her. If she is capable of doing this to me, she will do it to you too!”

But nobody echoed my sentiments. Instead, they all just aimed the barrels of their guns at me. I was alone with only one gun. It looked like they were trying to force me to go down myself or incapacitate me before throwing me down.

I looked at Gary and inched closer to him out of fear as he grabbed my arm firmly.

Laura grew impatient and shouted, ”Gary ! What are you doing? How dare you disregard my order. Follow your orders and toss your emotions aside. This was the first and foremost rule of the regiment ! Have you gone mad? Why aren’t you doing anything?”
