The merman, my man novel Chapter 132

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 132

I began suffocating as Laura was choking me. Then, suddenly, my inner strength was evoked, and I was able to push back against her hold on my neck. I was surprised that my surge in anger was the factor that enabled me to escape her grip. The second her fingers left my neck, I swiftly snatched her gun and used its buttstock to knock her out.

After escaping Laura, I felt lost and confused. My surroundings were dark, and there was smoke everywhere mixed with the sounds of gunfire. I couldn’t discern where Jack and the rest were or even Dicken’s whereabouts. For the sake of protecting myself, I went to a nearby tree and crouched down to avoid being hit by any stray bullets. Then, I shouted as loud as I could, “Jack, Peter, where are you?“

There was no response other than the continuous sound of gunfire.

I felt like my heart had a rope tied around it, preventing it from beating. I had even forgotten to breathe. I couldn’t let myself believe that Jack and Peter had died, but the possibility was enough to make me frantic and look around anxiously.

Suddenly, I saw a dark shadow among the smoke.

But before I could tell who it was, I felt like something had drilled a hole into my chest. A stream of fresh blood burst out of my body, and I lost the ability to move.

A cold, mocking laugh reached my ears from somewhere next to me as my body toppled backward. Everything in my vision was now in slow-motion. I could even notice the exact moment a leaf fell to the ground, as well as the red liquid gushing out of my chest and into the air. ‘This must be my blood. It looks like I’m about to die soon.’
