Men also have vanity, just like now, with continuous cheers behind them, reminiscent of

Seth glanced at Isabella, ensuring her composure, and noticed her nervous expression.

He thought she had come to find him because his rescue touched her at the casino.

“Do you have something to tell me?” he inquired.

Isabella nodded vigorously. “I just saw Simon, he was…”

“Simon?” Seth suddenly interrupted her, his expression changing. “You came to me ju

to talk about him?”

Isabella looked puzzled. “I…”

Before she could speak, Seth began to turn away.

“Wait.” Isabella helplessly grabbed him. “Listen to me first.”

Seth hesitated but decided to hear her out.

“He seems to have been taken hostage,” Isabella revealed.

Seth stopped in his tracks, his brow furrowing in concern.

Isabella let go of his hand and quickly added, “I just went upstairs and saw a woman

holding him at gunpoint with a wooden barrel, and they went downstairs together.”

“Are you sure?” Seth questioned.

“Sure, Isabella emphasized.

Seth grabbed her wrist, pulled her to a nearby room, and called Jordan.

“Have two people guard the door,” he instructed.

Isabella watched him leave. “What are you going to do?”

Seth didn’t answer her question directly but said, “Stay here. Don’t go anywhere. If I

come back and don’t see you, you’ll face the consequences.”

Isabella pursed her lips, standing at a loss for words.

The door was closed, and someone was guarding outside. She could only sit on the

A small yacht drifted on the sea, gently swaying with the waves.

Simon stood at the boat’s bow, his face calm and unwavering. He was unaffected by

the wooden gun behind him and could still comfort the person behind him.

“You don’t need to be nervous. Even without a wooden gun, I am not your opponent.”

In the cabin, the girl leaned against the railing, her eyes half-closed.

“The girl just now, is she the one you like?” she inquired.

Simon was momentarily taken aback, turned his head, and remained silent.

The girl opened her eyes, blinking like a cat in the dark night.

“You tensed up all over the moment you saw her, afraid that I would hurt her, right?”

Simon smiled. “She is very likable, but not the one I like.”

The girl scoffed, “Playing with words, not very honest.”

Simon’s expression remained gentle as he leaned against the railing at the bow.

He was dressed in a white suit, standing under the moonlight. He was like a piece of

white jade immersed in warm water, untainted by dust, and even his hair exuded

gentleness.

“What’s your name?” the girl asked.

“Simon Gates.”

The girl nodded and pointed to herself. “Scarlet Swine.”

She didn’t elaborate on her name, keeping it simple and concise.

Simon was slightly surprised by her directness. He hadn’t expected the other party to

disclose her identity. It should be kept confidential.

As he pondered this, the sound of helicopter propellers came from above, and a rope

ladder descended from the sky.

Scarlet stood up, walked to the bedside, and flicked her tongue at Simon.

“Go back and remind your friend that making money is important, but so is saving lives.

Next time, if those desperate men sneak onto the ship again, we may not be able to

save you in time.

Simon nodded. “Thank you.”

Scarlet grabbed the rope ladder, moved swiftly like a cat, and vanished before Sim

eyes.

The helicopter circled in the sky twice before disappearing into the night.
