What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 311

Seth gave Lewis a side glance.

Lewis was unruffled. He seemed not to have the intention of elaborating more on the topic.

Seth laughed instead. "You won't learn about these just by listening to rumors. It seems you have an extensive network, Mr. Faust."

Faust shrugged but didn't deny it. He roamed the sea all year long, and it was natural that he would learn about all sorts of information.

Soon, his subordinate reported to him, "Faust, we can't find her."

The cruise ship didn't have any surveillance cameras. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Faust frowned. "Search again, carefully!"

His subordinate hesitated before he nodded and backed down.

Faust looked at Lewis and Seth, slightly embarrassed. "Sirs, can it be that the person you're looking for isn't on this ship? Now that the cruise ship is stuck here, it will be difficult for me if the cruise is delayed."

Seth replied, "We told you we'll leave when we find the person we're looking for. Since we're here, it means she must be here too. If you regard this matter as too much trouble, we can conduct our own search."

Faust's face darkened, and the atmosphere stifled, but it wasn't wise to initiate a fight with them.

Shortly after, he said, "Then we'll look for half an hour longer. If we can't find her by then, we'll resume the cruise."

"Sure." Lewis leaned back onto the sofa as he lit a cigarette.

Seth kept quiet. He thought a heated argument was inevitable, but everything worked out better than expected.

It seemed Kiran and Faust were unrelated. If that was the case, they wouldn't need those men waiting on the speedboats.

Kiran stood on the top deck, leaning against the railing. The sea breeze ruffled his hair as he lit a cigarette.

The speedboats were still there, enclosing the cruise ship.

Draco approached him and lit a cigarette too. He leaned against the railing and asked, "Kiran, what are you up to?"

Kiran's brows were tightly knitted. It was obvious he was in a bad mood.

Suddenly, he asked, "How many men did you bring?"

"Half of the people inside are my men. What are you going to do?"

Kiran held the cigarette between his fingers, and the sea breeze soon took the smoke with it. He looked at the waiting speedboats and faintly said, "Didn't expect him to bring so many. I've underestimated him."

Dealing with Lewis was more difficult than he expected.

Lewis was hundreds of miles away from Hardington yet could still command his forces.

That was all the more reason for Kiran not to let him leave.

Kiran said, "Hide that mute well. Faust won't waste too much time on them. Once the cruise ship moves, find a way to kill Lewis."

Since everything was peaceful between Faust and Lewis, he could only take matters into his own hands.

Draco was stunned. He glanced again at the speedboats. "Kill him? Who is he?"

Kiran turned to look at him, his eyes glinting beneath his glasses. "Don't mind his identity. They're the ones who came after us. Just kill and discard him into the sea—who will know?"

There was no better place than the ocean to commit a murder.

Kiran continued, "Kill him, and I'll give you one billion dollars."

Draco widened his eyes. He thought he had heard it wrongly. He thought to himself, "One billion dollars! Whose life would be worth that amount?"

But then, no matter who he was, he would even kill the king for one billion dollars. His job required him to put his life on the line anyway.

Besides, they were on a ship; it's easy to clear all traces of murder. This was easy money.
