The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 80

I quickly got up from behind Dicken and stood between them regardless of my loosened clothes. I pretended to sound calm and said, “Hey guys, listen to me. The three of us should be on the same side right now. So put your grudges aside until we have solved the problem of the pirates above us! “

I got no response in return other than awkward silence.

The silence frightened me. I didn’t know what would happen next.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and turned my gaze toward Gary. He leaned against the corner of the wall with a deadly look in his eyes as he held the dagger. He was unwilling to accept that he was the weaker party in this fight.

It was only then that I realized Gary was severely injured. After the fight earlier on deck, he should have known how reckless it was to fight against Dicken. There was a massive gap between their strengths, which made me worry that Gary would go beyond his depth and start another attack all over again.

But things were different for Dicken. It couldn’t be more effortless for him to murder Gary in just a split second.

And he had good reasons to kill Gary. One of them was me; he had regarded Gary as an opponent. Another was, Gary had attacked him with a tranquilizer gun more than once. I could not underestimate how long the beast would hold a grudge.

Although Gary tried to infringe on me several times, he never wanted to take my life. I could not bear to see Gary die in front of me.

Dicken suddenly lifted his fishtail from the water. It was clear that I was unable to control this situation. He obviously did not want to listen to me at all. His sharp tail fin looked just like a machete. He raised his tail in the air and aimed it at Gary’s head. Gary could no longer run due to his severe injuries. He only managed to dodge the attack. A strong wave followed after and hit him against the wall. Dicken again struck his tail towards the direction where Gary was leaning, and I knew Gary would surely die immediately if the tail struck him this time!

“Wait a minute! “ I jumped on Dicken’s body amidst the hurry. I embraced Dicken tightly from behind and shouted, “Stop it! Dicken! Don’t do it!“

Dicken stopped.
