Revenge After Death



We took a few steps back, bracing ourselves to run. Suddenly, the man who had been lying on the ground sprang to his feet, fueled by anger at his defeat by Steven. He then brandished a knife and attacked us.

Steven instinctively raised his hand to block the knife and immediately kicked the person away. His palm was pierced in the process. In a moment of panic, I immediately grabbed Steven's hand and swiftly removed my coat to apply pressure to the wound and stem the bleeding.

Steven stared coldly at the man. "Rubbish."

The leader frowned and turned his gaze toward Steven. After a few tense moments, he delivered a resounding slap to the assailant, sending him tumbling to the ground once more. "What a shame!"

Steven glanced at the knife lodged in his palm indifferently. Ignoring my objection, he removed it and hurled it at the man, who cowered in terror. The knife sliced through the top of his head, severing strands of hair and embedding itself firmly in the wall.

I looked at Steven nervously. "Let's go to the infirmary to treat your wound."

The cruise ship was equipped with comprehensive facilities, including medical staff and resources. It was the only cruise ship in the country that offered surgical and organ transplant capabilities at sea.

Steven nodded and ushered the girl and me into the elevator. She was still crying and trembling with fear.

I didn't comfort her and frowned slightly. It was the duty of the police to protect her. I only needed to bring her to Zion and Eason. That was the best I could do.

The elevator doors closed, and I was worried about Steven's injury. Amid my concern, I momentarily forgot what Steven had wanted to say earlier.

"Are you alright?" Zion and Eason rushed into the infirmary, their concern evident on their faces.

I shook my head and clenched my fists tightly. "He has a deep penetrating wound on his palm. They just carried out an X-ray, and the doctor performed emergency surgery, but they can't guarantee that his hand won't be affected in the future."

The human palm contained numerous muscles and nerves. Any injury that penetrated the palm could significantly impact future activities and quality of life.

"Do you know that this cruise ship is actually equipped with an exceptional team of doctors? The owner spared no expense in hiring a medical team all the way from Melovia, known for their world-class surgical procedures.

"So rest assured, there's absolutely no need for you to worry. But I'm curious. He's very skilled and has exceptional hearing and insight. How could those people hurt him?" Jimmy leaned against the door with a sarcastic smile.

Failed to react in time? Too urgent of a situation? Obviously, Jimmy didn't believe those excuses.

I frowned and looked at Jimmy. "If you're going to make sarcastic remarks here, you can get out now."

Jimmy shrugged. "Don't be so hostile... I'm just voicing my reasonable suspicions."

"Well, I forgot to tell you all. The true owner of the cruise ship is none other than the main person in charge of Genome Society in the Othard region, also known as the boss behind Gerome Society. His code name is Boss, and we all refer to him as just that," Jimmy said with a smile.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

He purposely withheld this clue until now! This cruise ship belonged to Genome Society, signifying that it held a complexity far beyond what met our eyes.

"This cruise ship has 15 floors above ground and one floor of cabins, making a total of 16 floors of open areas. However, there are two floors with deep cabins below the open area. Would you like to know what's below?"

Only members of the Global Trade Union were granted access there.

He added, "This cruise ship travels the seas year-round, including international waters and even war zones, where illicit activities such as human trafficking, organ trafficking, and illegal profiteering can go unnoticed."

I inhaled deeply and cast a disapproving gaze at Jimmy. "If you have something to say, just say it quickly." "The primary objective of the Rebels in gathering people to hijack this cruise ship is to protest against the organization itself. Killing the affluent individuals who hold utmost importance to the organization serves as the most impactful form of protest.

"Additionally, it has been reported that the president of Crowdstar Group is on board this ship. However, the identity and appearance of the president remain unknown..." Jimmy glanced outside, and armed officers were patrolling outside.

"All club members are now being controlled according to a list. Unfortunately, I'm one of them. The president of Crowdstar Group is on the list too."

Jimmy was aware that those people were here to take him away. Before being taken, he grasped my hand and whispered, "Find the president of Crowdstar Group and protect him."

Afterward, Jimmy was taken away by the armed personnel. "He's Jimmy Lincoln, a member of the Global Trade Union. Take him away."

Jimmy followed suit and left, then turned back to smile at me.
