Chapter 671
As the crowd exclaimed, the ship was indeed starting to sink slowly.
The water level in the ship was obviously rising.
The sneer on Merrida's chief's face disappeared. He glared at Isabella and Draxton and shouted, "Draxton, Isabella, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and hand over everything!"
"Hand it over and you can live. Everyone can live. Otherwise, all of you will die in the Pacilian Ocean today!"
The patience of Merrida's chief was clearly at its limit as he gave them an ultimatum.
Meanwhile, Isabella and Draxton remained unmoved.
The expression of Merrida's chief became even more ferocious and terrifying. His eyes turned bloodshot and he stared at Isabella.
At this moment, everyone on the ship was panicking.
Seeing that the liner was sinking deeper and deeper, a nobleman could not help but roar and pounce on Isabella and Draxton.
His face was pale and his expression was twisted. He shouted, "Hurry up and hand them over. At a time like this, do you want all of us to die with you?"
However, his crazy attacks did not land on Isabella and Draxton because he was sent flying by Draxton's kick.
The man flew back and fell into the water.
At this time, the water level in the liner had risen a lot, and the liner itself had sunk quite a bit.
The nobleman struggled for a few seconds and got up from the ground with the help of a table and chair near him.
He looked at Isabella and Draxton with fear and resentment. He did not dare to provoke them anymore. Instead, he looked at the others and said, "Are you just going to wait for death?" The already anxious crowd immediately lost their rationality. They all approached Isabella and Draxton.
Some people even had malicious thoughts.
If Isabella and Draxton could not withstand their coercion and handed over the items, they could take the opportunity to snatch them and jump into the sea to escape.
Merrida's chief stared coldly at Isabella and Draxton. He then said mockingly, "Miraculous Doctor, Mr. Lockwood, are you still not going to hand over the items at a time like this?
"Are those things more important than these people's lives? These people's lives are extremely precious!"
"That's right. If anything happens to us, can the Lockwood family bear the consequences?
"Can the Lockwood family compete with all the families here?
"Or are you saying that the Lockwood family doesn't care about our lives at all?”
Seeing that the water level had risen to the waist, someone shouted at the top of his lungs.
There were even some people who were extremely resentful and recklessly charged toward Isabella and Draxton.
Draxton mercilessly kicked these people away. Isabella stood behind him with her arms crossed and said slowly, "The cause of all this is the old man over there. If you want to hate someone, you should hate him!"
She casually looked in the direction of Merrida's chief.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Those people fell silent for a moment and looked in the direction of Merrida's chief.
How could they not know that it was Merrida's chief who caused all of this?
However, Merrida's chief and the others had such terrifying and powerful weapons. People usually picked on the weak.
In comparison, Isabella and Draxton were easy to deal with.
Isabella seemed to have seen through these people, and she sneered. "They do have that kind of weapon, but the Lockwood family is also not to be trifled with.
"Do you really think that the Lockwood family is not prepared at all?"
The crowd instantly fell silent.
Isabella continued, "You can make a choice now. If you trust us, stop your actions and stand beside us.
"If you don't believe us or have other thoughts and still want to be our enemy, then bear the consequences yourself."
Everyone glanced at each other, their eyes flickering with different emotions.
Fernando, Zolo, Lawrence, and the others stood at the side and watched coldly. Fernando said, "Mr. Lockwood, it turns out that you're so kind. At a time like this, you're still giving them a chance to choose. If it were me... Hmph."
As he spoke, he revealed a sinister sneer.
Draxton looked at him proudly and said, "If it was in the past, I naturally wouldn't have such a good temper, but now... I want to listen to my wife!"
Fernando was stunned. Then, he could not help but curse.
This man was really infuriating.
Could Draxton not show off?
Zolo and Lawrence also fell into deep thought. Zolo said, "I'm too poor to get a wife. Sigh, I wonder if a rich woman will be willing to marry me in the future!"
Lawrence said, A man with a wife is indeed different. There are so many girls pursuing me. After I head back, I'll choose one girl to marry."
Then, they looked at Fernando at the same time.
Fernando felt uncomfortable being stared at by them. His face was as dark as thunder. These people were all crazy!
Isabella smiled and looked at the nobles who surrounded them. Everyone, you can make a choice now. Please trust that I will make sure you don't regret choosing to stand on our side."
Fernando and the others walked over first and stood beside Isabella and Draxton.
Seeing that even people like Fernando had chosen to believe in Isabella and Draxton, many people immediately changed their minds. One after another, they went to stand beside Isabella and Draxton. The smile on Isabella's face grew wider.
She looked at the people who were still standing opposite them and said, "It seems that you don't believe us?"
Her beautiful eyes slowly swept over those people. She saw that one of them had a burning look in his eyes. This person was a member of The Allied Nations who had already sided with Rayshaw. There were also people who chose to side with Merrida's chief because they benefited from their relationship with Merrida's chief.
Some of them had other thoughts.
In short, the people standing opposite them were already their enemies a long time ago.
At this moment, under the temptation of the Prime Code and the results of the crystal potion's experiment, how could they not have malicious thoughts?
Isabella could not help but smirk.
At this moment, the water level had already reached their abdomen, and it was still rising.
The people who rushed forward to surround them were hindered by the water and could not approach them as easily as before.
However, those people had raised their guns and were pointing them at Isabella and Draxton.
Someone shouted, "Miraculous Doctor, Mr. Lockwood, stop trying to act tough! Hand them over. Good things should be shared with everyone."
Merrida's chiefs expression
suddenly turned grim. He glanced
coldly at the person who spoke. The
person immediately shut his mouth.
and retreated into the crowd not
daring to make another sound.
Merrida's chief looked at the people standing behind Isabella and Draxton and said coldly, "So, you chose to stand with Isabella and Draxton. Don't regret it later!"
As he spoke, the chief made a
gesture. Immediately, more than ten
helicopters flew toward them afar. The muzzles of the guns on the helicopters were aimed at the liner. At the same time, a rope ladder was lowered from the helicopters. Merrida's chief began to climb up the rope ladder.
The others also stepped on the ladder and climbed upward.
Seeing this scene, those who chose to stand beside Isabella and Draxton could not help but hesitate.
The water level was still rising, and they looked at Isabella and Draxton anxiously.
However, Isabella and Draxton were not anxious at all.
They did not want to be impatient, but the liner's sinking speed was unforgiving.
Not long after, the leaders of Merrida and the others had boarded the helicopters.
Merrida's chief stood at the cabin door and looked down with a sneer. "Isabella, Draxton, it doesn't matter if you don't want to hand them over. When you die, I will naturally have a way to get what I want. Hmph!"
Merrida's chief stared viciously at Isabella and Draxton.
He stared at the sinking liner and could not help but smile wickedly.
He thought, All of you deserve to die, and even if you're dead, I can still get what I want."
"Miraculous Doctor, Mr. Lockwood, we..."
Seeing that the water level had reached their chests, they finally panicked.
Meanwhile, in the minds of Isabella and Draxton, the countdown for The Fairy's activation had reached its end.
Just as everyone's faces were filled with anxiety, an incomparably huge "monster" suddenly broke out of the water in the distance.
