Remiel's eyes flickered, and a hint of calculation quickly flashed through them.Larissa's blood was special. If it could be successfully extracted, it could be used to create powerful toxin weapons.Therefore, Remiel was determined to get Larissa.Anyway, either he or Ambrose must die.And the damned one would never be him.As long as Ambrose died, he could take everything from Ambrose.He had spent so much effort and created so many incidents for all of this.Remiel was determined to capture Larissa—dead or alive.It didn't matter as long as he had enough blood samples. But he still preferred capturing Larissa alive as he was starting to find her interesting.Remiel smiled and casually asked, "Ms. Solace, we met a long time ago. Don't you remember?"Larissa frowned and thought for a moment. She couldn't recall when she had met him.Suddenly, Larissa froze.She remembered! She recalled the mysterious man who had chased Athena in the frigid land."It's you!"Larissa narro
The pirates were willing to abandon the ship because Remiel was being held hostage.If Remiel died, the pirates would have nothing to hold them back. The enraged pirates would return to the ship and kill passengers onboard like madmen.Seeing Ambrose clenching his teeth, not moving for a long time, Remiel's smile became even more unscrupulous.Remiel's laughter still echoed when Ambrose suddenly pulled the trigger.A bullet grazed past Remiel's scalp. A strand of Remiel's hair was cut off and flew away with the sea breeze.After the pirates jumped into the water, they did not swim away.They had gathered near the cruise ship. Seeing Ambrose shoot, their expressions shifted. "Boss!"Remiel's ears were almost deafened by the gunshot. Blood flowed slowly out of his ear, still, he nonchalantly laughed. "Go ahead and kill me. I dare you.""Shut up!" Ambrose's eyes almost spewed fire as he sternly scolded.Remiel tilted his head, his gaze landing on Larissa, raising an eyebrow. "If
Larissa woke up in a daze.Ambrose was about to speak when another thunderclap sounded outside.The sky soon turned dark, and a torrential downpour began, accompanied by lightning and thunder.Larissa, fully alert now, said in surprise, "It's raining this heavily?"Ambrose's face turned extremely serious as he said solemnly, "Larissa, I think we've encountered a typhoon."Larissa replied, "We're running out of luck, aren't we?"The two exchanged a glance and ran out into the hallway together with a tacit understanding.Coincidentally, they met with two others who ran out of their room.One of them said while running, "Why do I feel like the ship is shaking?"The companion next to him said, "I feel it too. Is it an earthquake?"Just then, a loud rumbling sound suddenly erupted.The thunderous roar continued without a pause. Even the entire ship began to sway from side to side.Suddenly, the deck tilted at a strange angle.One of the people who was running ahead stumbled, le
The first mate cried out, "Captain, let's run! This ship is going to sink!"The captain's face drained of color. He gritted his teeth and said, "Take them to the stern. Do your best to get more people on the lifeboats.""Captain, what about you?""I'm going to stay here. As long as I can control the ship, there's still a glimmer of hope!""But captain…""Stop talking, leave now!"With all his might, the captain pushed the first mate and the others out of the control room.The first mate pounded on the glass door. "Captain, open the door! Let us in!"The captain roared, "Think about your wife and children. What will happen to them if you die? Hurry! Go! Do as I say!"The first mate was taken aback, tears in his eyes. He clenched his hands and struck the glass forcefully again.Then, he turned around and ran with the crew toward the lifeboats at the stern.The captain stayed alone in the cockpit, picked up the nearby microphone, and issued a final warning."Attention all pass
Hearing what Ambrose said, Larissa jolted awake.She quietly woke everyone up, instructing them not to make a sound.Many were in a daze, wearing expressions of confusion.Larissa raised her hand and pointed out to the sea.Everyone was bewildered, looking over.Not too far away, a group of sharks slowly encircled them.The leading shark was massive, with a gaping mouth revealing sharp fangs.Everyone turned pale with fear when they saw what it was.Some, overwhelmed by fear, subconsciously wanted to scream. Their mouths were quickly covered by the people nearby.Ambrose stood on the bow of the boat. He said in a solemn voice, "It's a great white shark, one of the most ferocious killers in the ocean."Everyone felt a chill run down their spine.Finally, everyone understood why so many lifeboats had disappeared overnight. It was very likely that they had encountered a sudden attack by a group of sharks.Just then, something happened to the lifeboat farthest away from them.
The people in the other lifeboats hesitated. They weren't sure what was happening. So, they kept their distance.Thelma had witnessed everything. She saw Larissa feeding something to the sharks. That was why the sharks went berserk.She already thought that the way Ambrose killed the sharks was scary enough. It turned out that Larissa was the scariest one!Thelma gulped. Once again, she was thankful that she had chosen to go with the right person.Not only did she manage to get on a lifeboat, but she also saved herself from being eaten by sharks.More than ten great white sharks tore at each other. The bigger ones bit the smaller ones to death. The stronger ones defeated those who were injured.The sea was filled with mutilated shark carcasses. The sea was stained red from the amount of blood in the water. The pungent smell of blood pierced their noses.This was a miraculous scene. Everyone's jaw dropped. They couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.Larissa's palms were al
The helicopter descended. Max removed his headset as he turned around and announced, "We've arrived, Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton."Larissa rubbed her eyes. Everything still felt hazy to her.Ambrose noticed that she was still looking half-asleep and confused. He chuckled. "Don't worry. Just go back to sleep if you're tired."Too many things had happened recently. Larissa hadn't gotten any proper rest. That made his heart ache for her.Ambrose picked her up and carried her off the helicopter.Larissa woke up again. "Mister?"He was holding her firmly in his arms. With his strong build, he carried her and strutted down from the helicopter.From time to time, he looked down at the woman in his arms. He had a gentle look in his eyes. His dark eyes filled with love and affection.Larissa grumbled softly, "I'm starving. I think I can eat a whole cow!"Ambrose had a soft look on his face. He would only have this expression on his face when he was with Larissa. Otherwise, he usually looked
Larissa was now expecting a baby. Moreover, they had just experienced that tragedy at sea. Ambrose decided that he couldn't afford to be careless anymore.He carried her out of the car. They were a good-looking couple. Hence, their presence attracted people's attention.Ambrose disregarded the looks of amazement around them. He carried Larissa and walked straight toward the fanciest luxury hotel on the island.Then, his phone rang.Larissa retrieved his phone from his pocket and answered the call. "Hello?"A joyful voice came from the other end of the call. "Madam, is that you? Is Mr. Hamilton there? I have some urgent work matters to report to him.""He's here. Hold on." Larissa then handed the phone to Ambrose.Ambrose had been away for too long. This resulted in a huge backlog of work.Larissa noticed that he was talking on the phone with a serious expression on his face. Out of consideration for him, she said, "Put me down, Mister. I'll make my own way in."Ambrose gave he
Ambrose faced his back to Larissa.She tried to conceal her grievance and anger, shouting, "Aren't you leaving? Leave then!"He kept his back to her, not daring to turn around.Despite her efforts to suppress her emotions, he detected a touch of grief in her voice.Ambrose was frightened of turning around and seeing her tears.As long as he saw those eyes, he would be unable to resist the temptation to be selfish once again, to stay by her side at all costs.He gradually tightened his gloved hands.No. He couldn't be so selfish. He had become a monster, unworthy of her!He wanted to escape, hide, and not let Larissa see his monster appearance. However, he couldn't move at all. His feet stubbornly stayed in place, as if rooted.She walked up to him. She stared attentively at him for a moment before slowly reaching out to hold his hand.Just as her fingertips were about to touch his hand, Ambrose suddenly returned to his senses.Damn it! What was he doing? How could he let Lar
Max's treatment of external injuries was professional.He gently patted the wolf cub's head and said, "Bye."The wolf cub's eyes were full of gratitude. It looked at the humans deeply before running away without looking back.Larissa and her team continued to search for traces of the werewolf in Northernmost.However, they didn't find any useful clues. Max couldn't help but ask, "Madam, do you think there would be werewolves here?"She replied, "Although Jackie lied about the wolf cub, I believe he saw something real. No matter what, I'll find him, even if we have to turn Northernmost upside down!"On a mountain several miles away, a tall figure stood against the wind. He stood firm amidst the snowy landscape like a sturdy tree.The wolf cub approached him and affectionately rubbed against his trousers. He lowered his head, giving it a faint glance. "Little fool, don't get caught in human traps again."His tone was stern, with a hint of teaching. The wolf cub lowered its head i
There were no cameras in the hotel room, but there were in the corridor.In a fleeting moment, Larissa finally noticed something wrong.She rewinded the video and played it back slowly several times. Finally, she confirmed what she had seen.She slumped into the chair, completely lost.She knew that something must have happened to Ambrose.Although the footage got grainy right away, Larissa still saw it—Ambrose's hand had undergone some sort of transformation.What on earth had happened? She must find him as soon as possible!Everything was fine last night. Ambrose set off fireworks for her and even used drones to write his vow in the sky.He had done so many romantic things for her. Why did he change overnight? What was wrong with his hand?Larissa's mind was in chaos, unable to make sense of anything. After thinking for a moment, she called Max."Max, send a ship to pick me up... No, send me a helicopter. I have to go back right away."After returning, she immediately aske
Ambrose's pupils shrank.His right hand had completely transformed into the shape of a wolf claw.The mutation continued to spread up his arm, resulting in a thick layer of wolf fur.Dawn was approaching. A faint light shone on the horizon. The distant sea was tumultuous with no end in sight.Ambrose stood on the balcony, his black hair fluttering in the sea breeze.He cautiously lifted his right hand. At this moment, his hand could no longer be called a hand.From his fingertips to his arm, it had fully transformed into a wolf's paw. Even more terrifyingly, the mutation was still spreading toward his shoulder.His time was running out.Ambrose stared at his right hand intently for a long time. Until the cold air covered his long eyelashes with a layer of frost, he put on his gloves again, hiding the mutated hand.He returned to the bedroom, where Larissa remained asleep. She appeared to be having a beautiful dream, smiling as she slept.Ambrose sat down by the bed, gazing at
Larissa didn't notice Ambrose's abnormality. She thought he was preparing a surprise for her."Then hurry up, Mister!" She tiptoed and kissed his face before running out with a smile.His gentle smile disappeared after she left.Ambrose stared at his mutated right hand, his expression gradually darkening.He didn't want to appear so hideous in front of Larissa. So, he put on a pair of black gloves, intending to hide it from her.Larissa waited outside, kicking the ground with boredom. After a while, Ambrose came out."Mister!" Larissa dashed for him like a lively bird.He hugged her as he had done countless times before. She hooked her arm around his, and they walked out together.When the restaurant doors slowly opened, Larissa noticed the pink rose petals scattered all over the floor.It was so beautiful!It was evident that Ambrose attached great importance to their wedding anniversary tonight.She stared at his strikingly gorgeous profile. He turned and showed her a doti
A week later, Birdie awoke.She burst into tears upon seeing Larissa. "Ms. Larissa, those people beat me so badly! I thought I'd never see you again!"Larissa tenderly hugged Birdie and patted her back to comfort her. "It's fine now. Don't be afraid. I've already avenged you."Vincent stood nearby. He tightly pursed his lips, believing that the punishments meted out to those people were too light.After Birdie had stopped crying, she looked at him and asked, "Vince, why are you still so short?"He felt like he'd been struck by lightning.Birdie was a year older than Vincent. Girls at this age tended to be taller than boys, causing Vincent to be a head shorter than Birdie.He pursed his lips and quietly put away the small cakes he had prepared for her. It took him a lot of effort to snatch it from Victor.Even if he gave it back to Victor, he wouldn't give it to the ungrateful Birdie!Larissa could tell Vincent's thoughts and nearly came out laughing. She barely managed to hold
Larissa observed Fernando, feeling increasingly familiar with his appearance."Hmm... aren't you the guy who owes me a hundred thousand dollars in medical expenses? Have your injuries healed?"It was simple for a person to leave a lasting impression on her. He only needed to owe her money.When Fernando heard the familiar voice, he finally confirmed she was the one who saved him."It's me. I'm really sorry..."He didn't hide anything and confessed all of his wrongdoings. After speaking, he nervously waited.Larissa might criticize him harshly, hit him, or even trample on his dignity as Nayla did. Everything was his fault. He was willing to face the consequences.But...She pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "You're quite skilled, huh?""Uh..." Fernando didn't expect her to ask such a question out of the blue. He paused for a moment before nodding.Larissa waved. "Join the Hamiltons as a bodyguard then! If you perform well during the three-year testing period, we'll pro
As the Daltons' men surrounded Max, Nayla managed to flee."Damn it!" He gritted his teeth and glanced at Fernando. "Since you didn't join Nayla in harming Ms. Zoey, I'll let you go. You may leave!"However, Fernando didn't do so. He seemed to have made a certain determination and bent toward Max. "Please allow me to stay by Ms. Zoey's side. I'm willing to spend the rest of my life protecting her."Max squinted. "Do you think I'll still believe you?"Fernando remained bent over. It was a posture of persistence rather than reverence. "I won't give up even if you disagree.""Whatever!" Max turned around indifferently and led the Hamiltons' guards away.Fernando soon straightened up. He appeared resolute. Even if Max barred him from entering the Hamilton residence again, he would silently protect Zoey....Nayla stitched up her face at the Dalton residence, her hands trembling violently."Damn it!" She let out a shrill roar and hurled the needle holder violently to the ground.H
Fernando became more certain of the truth when he saw Nayla's panicked expression."Do you want me to believe you? Then show me how you used the silver needles to save me.""I—" Nayla bit her lip tightly. "You hurt me, Fernando. Have you forgotten that I saved your life? You promised to repay me. How could you doubt me?"He returned to his former coldness and stepped closer to her."You're not the one I owe gratitude to. When I was severely injured and unconscious, I couldn't see who had saved me. I'd even forgotten her voice. Fortunately, I've recalled it. Or I'd have no idea how much longer you'd deceive me!"During this period, the humiliations he had endured from Nayla were vivid and echoed in his mind.He had also doubted how a kind woman who would help a stranger could become so cruel.Nayla explained that her parents had abandoned her since birth. Larissa had also caused the death of her grandmother, who had raised her.After returning to her biological family, Larissa r
