The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 106

A second after the initial shock, I finally reacted. I had expected that she would abandon me.

I whipped out the gun from its holster and gripped it with shaky hands. I waved it at the people around

me and warned, “Don’t touch me! I will shoot whoever who dares touch me! “

Then, I glared at Laura in anger and said, “Don’t force me off this boat. You have no right to determine

whether I live or die. I am not one of your men! If you want someone to go down, why don’t you go

down yourself, you despicable woman! “

Laura’s brows wrinkled in frustration as her eyes reflected a venomous glare. She said, “Every success

comes with a price. It’s a pity that you were born unlucky, Linda. You were destined to be bait, so now’s

your chance to fulfill your destiny.“

After that, she raised her voice and spoke to everyone else on the boat. “What are you all waiting for?

Do you all want to die here?“

The sailors on board were eyeing each other in hesitation before glancing at me. They used to be

companions whom I spent time with every single day. Now, their faces were painted in complicated

expressions. They were an ugly mixture of fear, suffering, desire, and greed.

My hands were shaking as I held the gun, and their expressions sent me a chill as I said, ”Hey, don’t

listen to her. If she is capable of doing this to me, she will do it to you too!”

But nobody echoed my sentiments. Instead, they all just aimed the barrels of their guns at me. I was

alone with only one gun. It looked like they were trying to force me to go down myself or incapacitate

me before throwing me down.

I looked at Gary and inched closer to him out of fear as he grabbed my arm firmly.

Laura grew impatient and shouted, ”Gary ! What are you doing? How dare you disregard my order.

Follow your orders and toss your emotions aside. This was the first and foremost rule of the

regiment ! Have you gone mad? Why aren’t you doing anything?”

I stiffly turned my head to look at Gary and saw that he wore a dark expression on his face. His

features were twisted together into a wince as he clenched his fists so hard that his veins popped, and

his body shook.

”I’m sorry, Linda.”

Before I could process his words, I felt myself being pushed back as my entire body toppled backward

and into the water. My survival reflex prompted me to grab onto something, so I managed to grip onto

the railing of the boat, although the rest of my body was outside of it.

My legs were already dangling in the cold water. So , the water current was dragging my body outward,

and my hand couldn’t hold onto the railing any longer. Regardless, I still grabbed onto it like a lifeline

even though my arm had already become pale from the strain, and my eyes were bloodshot from the

exertion. My mind felt fuzzy as I glared at those who were willing to abandon a crewmate in exchange

for monetary benefits.

But not long after, something grabbed onto my leg and tugged me down in an instant. My entire body

submerged into the water as I felt myself sink deeper and deeper.

I could hear Gary’s voice agonizingly screaming my name, ”Linda! Linda! ”

Perhaps his voice contained a sliver of remorse or distress, but I didn’t have time to care about his

emotions. I didn’t even have time to hate him.novelbin

In an instant, a webbed claw dragged me into a pitch-black hole. Then, I was met with countless faces

of merpeople. The salty seawater flooded my mouth and nose as the fear of being surrounded by

merpeople took over my body.

‘Dicken…Dicken…where are you?’

Overcome by terror and helplessness, I screamed the name that I had buried deep within my heart.

After that, I faintly heard a call from a distance that sounded like a note played on a cello.
