Chapter 1834
Zayden was lost in thought.
What should he do? After a pause, Zayden looked up at Holden and sneered, Youll never see Melon again.
Holden didnt react angrily to his defiance.
Instead, he methodically reloaded his gun.
Keep being stubborn then.
Im not making empty threats.
If anything happens to me, my men will act.
Zayden glanced behind and added, Before I left, I ordered them to kill Melon if I didnt return on time.
Right after his declaration, Zaydens expression turned cold, and he leaned back, falling into the sea. Holden, caught off guard by Zaydens sudden plunge, dropped his gun and dashed to the edge, but it was too late.
Zayden had already vanished beneath the waves.
Normally calm and controlled, Holden couldnt hold back a curse.
He spun around and commanded his crew, Everyone, into the water and find him.
Even if hes dead, I need to see his body! Yes, sir! Holdens men quickly prepared themselves to dive into the sea.
Shawn also geared up to dive, but Holden instructed him, You stay on the boat.
Check for any of Zaydens men who might still be alive.
On the island, Melon propped his chin on his hand, staring out the window with a somber look.
Even though Zayden had left, the island remained heavily guarded.
With a heavy sigh, Melon thought of his family.
He really missed his parents and sister, wondering how they were and if they knew about his abduction by Zayden.
As Melon was lost in thought, he noticed that a potent scent of gunpowder suddenly filled the air.
Melon quickly clamped his hand over his nose and scurried to the nearby laboratory.
He had been spending a lot of time with Moss recently and had come to rely heavily on him.
Upon detecting the scent, he instantly sought Moss for protection.
As soon as Melon swung open the door, the scent of gunpowder intensified, and the room was clouded with a thick haze.
Moss… Melon coughed as he navigated through the foggy room, his voice filled with urgency. Moss, where are you? From somewhere in the room, Moss voice, tinged with irritation, reached him.
Kid, how many times must I tell you? Dont yell in the lab.
It disturbs my work.
Guided by Moss voice, Melon made his way to Moss.
As he drew closer, the haze in the lab mysteriously cleared.
The next moment, Melon saw Moss working on some dark objects.
The table was scattered with small balls.
Driven by curiosity, Melon reached out to touch one and queried, Moss, what are these? Moss answered calmly, Mini firebombs.
