The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 164

As I looked around the tanks below me, Gary pushed me to the end of the cabin. Laura was standing in

front of a cabin door with marks that looked similar to craters, showing that something had collided with From NôvelDrama.Org.

it. Looking closely, I could see blue-colored dried blood on it.

My heart clenched.

“Linda, you’re so lucky.“ Laura looked at me as she gave me a wicked grin. “You have a chance to stay

alive. But it isn’t because Gary had begged for mercy for your sake, but because of the merman

restrained behind this door. I just found out that this merman is the alpha of the islands. The merpeople

you just saw all came to save him.“

She paused for a second before looking at me with false tenderness. “Our little genius Linda, I want to

get some of his blood, but sadly, he is too aggressive. Nobody can get close to him; what more prick

his skin with a syringe. So, I suddenly thought of you. “

“Colonel Laura! “ Gary quickly interrupted Laura as he had just figured out her intentions.

Laura’s expression became visibly fierce as she shouted, “Shut up! Do you have any better ideas to

solve this? Or do you not want your precious girl to remain alive?“

“But… “ Gary wanted to argue further, but before he could finish, I opened my mouth and interrupted

their argument. ”I’m willing to help you, ” I said with an expressionless look on my face.

God knew how much I wanted to charge at that horrible woman and punch her in the face. But this was

the only way I could contact Dicken and know what situation he was in. That way, I could find a way to

release him.

”Very well.” Laura looked at me with a cold gaze like she had wanted to pick my brain and find out what

stunt I would pull this time. ”But before you enter, I need to show you something.”

I furrowed my brows, unclear about what scheme she was planning. I watched as she grabbed

something similar to a display screen from someone next to her then showed it to me.

Through the screen, I could see Peter, Jack, and Jolin!

‘Wasn’t Jolin kidnapped by mermen? What is she doing here?’ Her face was pale as she lay on the

floor, and her body was covered with an old tattered blanket. Peter and Jack had their hands and feet

in shackles as they lay on the floor on their sides.

”You…What did you do to them? ! ” I gripped the screen so hard that my fingers turned white, and my

voice trembled in horror.

I glared at Laura angrily and had the impulse to charge at her, bite her neck and snap it.

Laura cackled coldly as she took a step back, crossed her arms, and said, ”Don’t worry, they’re still

alive. As for how long they can remain alive, that will be up to you, my little genius Linda.”

Her red lips that uttered my name seemed like a witch casting a curse on me. Then, she reached her

hand into her pocket to extract a sealed syringe and placed it onto my palin. She then signaled Gary to

let go of my arm.

I had the urge to stab the needle of the syringe directly into the artery in her neck, but my conscious

mind fought hard to suppress the impulse. In the end, I just put the syringe into my pocket.

”I have a request, ” I said as I tried my best to stay calm. ”When I go in to draw his blood, no one else is

allowed to enter.”

Laura smiled and opened the door as she said, ” There are surveillance cameras in this cabin. We will

monitor you from here, so you better not have any funny ideas. How long your friends stay alive will

depend on you.”
