The Wrong Woman

Sensing that something was off, the head of the pirates turned to scan his surroundings.

But two guns were pressed against his temples before he could even steady his rifle. Startled, he froze.

Just then, a large group of armed men in black armor barged in. The air they exuded was nothing short of formidable and imposing.

Among them, Suzanne could make out a man who seemed especially intimidating compared to the others.

Now, she knew who they were. They were the Norvanian military. Nathan had come here with them.

Overwhelmed by emotions, Suzanne’s heart raced at the sight of him.” Nathan would always appear whenever she was in danger.

And although he didn’t come for her, she still felt rather touched to

see him.

Just then, Sally stood up from the ground and yelled, “Nate! You

here! I’m saved!”

Suzanne froze when she heard the voice. The gleam in her eyes fad as an excited Sally rushed over to Nathan.

However, Nathan stopped her. His eyes were solemn when he tol

her to back off.

Sally refused to listen, though. She stubbornly made her way over to him and started pouting.

“Nate, you finally came to save me!” she sobbed as she rushed over

to Nathan.

When she moved past the head of the pirates, he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her to his chest. Before anyone could blink, he had already unsheathed his dagger and pressed it against her neck.

Everyone was flabbergasted at how idiotic Sally was. At the same time, they couldn’t help but panic at the sight of her being held hostage.

The dagger dug into Sally’s skin, and she started bleeding. She was in so much fright that her face turned as white as a sheet, and she started crying.

“Nate… help me…” she wept. “Kill him…”

The head of the pirates gritted his teeth and, in Dorzanian, demanded, “Let me go.”

Nathan’s gaze darkened as he took a step forward in the pirate’s

direction.

“What do you mean?” he asked, unable to understand Dorzanian.

The head of the pirates blabbered, but Nathan frowned, still unable

understand his words.

Nathan then looked around. A look of astonishment flashed acro his eyes when he saw Suzanne.

He never thought that she’d be here. She even dressed up so beautifully that he was enchanted by her beauty for a brief moment

However, he needed to do his job. There was no time for him to deal with his personal matters, so he tore his eyes away from her.

“Does anyone understand what he’s saying? Please come out and translate it for me.”

The crowd silently turned to look at Suzanne.

The head of the pirates pressed the dagger deeper into Sally’s skin. and said something in Dorzanian again.

Sally was in so much pain that she cried even more. “Nate! Help me! I’m going to die! Shoot him!”

Suzanne glanced at Nathan. Her heart broke at how he hesitated to shoot the pirate.

Sally was held hostage, but the head of the pirates was a head taller than her. He was so close, so Nathan wouldn’t miss if he made the

shot.

But why didn’t he shoot the pirate? Was he afraid of hurting Sally accidentally if he did so? How deep was his love for her that he’d swallow his urge to kill the pirate right away?

If Suzanne didn’t translate what the head of the pirates said, he’d start panicking and kill Sally right then and there.

Suzanne would benefit from it, but she couldn’t make herself do something so inhumane.

Pushing away the uneasiness in her heart, Suzanne eventually sa The pirate says that if you let him leave this ship, he’ll give you all t treasure here and let Sally go. He’ll even give you a gram of-” Suzanne abruptly stopped speaking.
