Chapter 782: It’s a Small World
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled amidst the heavy rain and winds, setting off large waves. The sea was billowing and the two liners were slowly surfing on its surface. Inside the luxurious cabin of the Seagull liner, a bevy of young girls with exposing clothes and hot figures flocked around Wang Rui.
At this time, his hands were embracing the girls left and right while he received kisses from the belles from time to time. Cups of champagne were emitting a blurred halo under the colored lights, whereas a beautifully carved plate full of fruits was glittering as these people tasted their servings.
Ring, ring, ring…
In the cabin, the intercom suddenly sounded
With brows pressed, Wang Rui waved to a girl in a swimsuit and the latter immediately picked up the intercom to readily connect him.
“What’s up?”
A deep voice answered from the communicator, “We found a fishing boat, Boss. It’s quite strange.”
“Strange? Why did you say it’s strange?” asked Wang Rui, surprised.
The voice from the intercom replied, “The fishing boat is rather small and can only accommodate ten-plus people. It’s at least three times smaller than ours. Even then, we are still having problems sailing smoothly in this rough sea with the bad weather. Yet this fishing boat looks like it’s having it easy. Also, it seems like it’s not sailing but is floating on the sea surface.”
Wang Rui pushed the girl, stood up and said, “Got it! I’ll go out and have a look!”
He got dressed and received a raincoat handed by another girl. Taking a walk and coming out of the cabin, he then went onto the deck. The other liner approached and the staunch man sprinted and leaped up. He flew through the air for several meters before landing at Wang Rui’s side.
“Take a look at that fishing boat, Boss,” the burly man handed over a binocular and said, “I’ve been observing it for some time. It seems like there’s nobody on it, only some faint lights.”
Wang Rui watched through the binoculars for several minutes before he finally nodded and commented, “It’s indeed quite strange. Go over there and have a look. Let’s hope that we come across something good.”
More than six minutes later, the two liners had approached the fishing boats and were only tens of meters away. The four middle-aged men shot two grappling hook guns attached with rope. The roped hooks smoothly caught the boat as they gradually pulled the fishing boat to the liner.
“Bang…”
A gunshot suddenly sounded out. Viviani dashed out from the cabin in her tattered clothes armed with a pistol. She pointed the muzzle to the sky but then directed her killing intent toward Wang Rui and his men on the approaching liner.
Wang Rui’s face changed as the burly man instantly dashed in front of him and he took a deep breath. He kept watching Viviani as the lightning flashed in the sky. After more than ten seconds, he gently pushed the burly man in front of him, stood on the deck and shouted, “HEY… WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THIS STORM? ARE YOU NOT AFRAID YOUR FISHING BOAT WILL BE OVERTURNED?”
At this point, Viviani had been plunged into despair. She was all bruised and scarred and was also exhausted. Even if she did have a little energy left, she was still spent. She had been hunted for half a month and was constantly on the run. Though she had a few chances to recover, she was still consuming more energy than she was recovering.
And yet, she met the storm which forced her to use her ability to control the fishing boat and was barely able to make it drift amidst the waves. But now, it seemed like she was at the end of her struggle.
“Who are you, people?!”
Viviani’s voice sounded somewhat hoarse. She had a wound on the left side of her neck and it affected her normal pronunciation as it seemed to have damaged her vocal cords.
“We are Chinese and these are my men!!” Wang Rui shouted loudly, “We thought the weather was great so we came to the sea to have some fun! But we never expected to run into this stormy weather, so we are preparing to head to Jingmen Island. Who are you, Miss?! Did you meet some troubles?!”
Viviani heaved in a deep breath. She had been hoping to get some help, but she was also aware of the crisis she was currently facing. From what she had experienced for half this month, she was sure that her enemy should be around which would cause a disaster for these people if she took their help.
“Just go away! I don’t need your help!”
She steadied herself and stepped to the side of the boat. She fired two shots and accurately hit the two ropes, severing them.
