Vivian ignored Camar’s warning, struggling and crying while pleading with jos not to leave. “You will die, jos, you will die.”


    “I love you, Vivian.” jos rarely admitted his love in front of so many people, but at this moment he was fearless. Sincerely and passionately, he said those words, different from before with a sense of parting.


    Before boarding the ship, he tightly clenched his fist and silently looked back at her, “Trust me, I wille back.”


    Heavy dark clouds hung over the sky, the sea breeze blew as cold as a knife, chilling to the bones.


    Two yachts set sail simultaneously, heading in opposite directions.


    Vivian was still sobbing, heartbroken. She regretteding out with Camar. She didn’t get to see her daughter and lost jos.


    “Let me be with him! Let us be together.” Vivian almost struggled to throw herself into the sea, but Camar restrained her.


    The situation was extremely dangerous, but others dared not move, only watching helplessly as the yachts sailed away.


    The helmsman was also at a loss, asking his captain, “Should we chase after them?”


    jos’ figure grew smaller, and Camar suddenly made a move.


    Vivian turned her head and saw Camar pressing the detonator.


    “No…” Vivian cried out in despair, but the expected explosion did not happen. She saw the yacht carrying jos not exploding, but instead turning around and speeding towards them with a sense of ‘together in death.’


    In shock, Camar cursed and repeatedly pressed the detonator, but it seemed to be broken, and no explosion urred.


    What’s going on? Could it be…


    In a sudden moment of rity amidst his frustration, Camar viciously looked at Vivian, attempting to press another switch. But it was toote, jos’ yacht crashed into his yacht, and the detonator in Camar’s hand fell into the sea.


    Such an attack was undoubtedly dangerous, as the bomb on Vivian could explode at any moment due to this impact.


    But they had no choice but to take a leap of faith.


    Camar immediately raised his gun to attack the detonator on Vivian, but Emmert was quicker. With a gunshot, Camar’s hand holding the gun was sttered, and the gun dropped somewhere.


    At the same time, jos boarded their yacht, rushing to Vivian’s side.


    Not forgetting the bomb tied to Vivian, jos bent down to disarm her and threw it forcefully into the sea.


    After experiencing life and death, the two embraced tightly, feeling each other’s warmth and heartbeat. What seemed like a simple hug almost became a distant dream.


    jos continued tofort Vivian, her body still trembling, her breath quick from crying.


    “It’s okay, darling, I’m here.”


    Vivian sobbed, lifting her head from jos’ embrace, her hands clumsily caressing his face. How long had they been apart? jos had scars on his face and had lost weight, but it didn’t matter.


    Vivian reassured that jos was safe, kissed his forehead, saying, “I missed you.”


    “I love you, jos.”


    “And I love you too, I will always love you.”


    On the other side, Camar was in agony, unable to get up, blood gushing from the bullet hole in his wrist.


    With seven or eight guns pointed at his head, Camar, with bloodshot eyes, stared in disbelief at his twopanions – they were also pointing guns at him.


    “Why?” Camar asked in anguish.


    “The price of loyalty to you is damnation, while ET can bring them wealth and glory.” A ship with the ET logo silently approached, Noah in a suit, standing on the deck with a king-like attitude, cradling a baby in his arms.


    Standing on the ship’s deck, overlooking the wretched Camar, “Noah…”


    Camar’s mouth trembled, eyes turning gray.


    Just with that one “Noah” from Camar, unconsciously, Vivian turned to look at her unexpected “brother.” Upon seeing the bundle in his arms, a strong wave of warmth surged from her heart.


    That was her child, her daughter!


    No evidence was needed; Vivian was absolutely certain.


    “Finally, we meet, Vivian.” Facing Vivian, Noah’s expression softened, “I am your cousin, Noah Davis.”


    “Cousin?” Vivian was more puzzled.


    But she couldn’t wait for Noah’s exnation; she eagerly wanted to hold her daughter, “My child.”


    It was the first formal meeting of mother and daughter, but the baby, like recognizing her mother’s breath,y in her arms, neither crying nor fussing. With a pair of light brown eyes resembling jos’, she nced at her father, then her gentle mother, grinning without teeth.


    Full of tenderness, Vivian’s heart, even in her disheveled state, couldn’t hide the maternal radiance beneath her gentle demeanor.


    Such an adorable little baby, her daughter.


    jos held her and the child together from behind, never feeling so satisfied.


    His wife was safe, his daughter was lovely and healthy, what else could he ask for…


    The two gazed at the baby with the same tender yet foolish eyes, wanting to take another look, until Noah reminded them, “She just came out of the incubator, can’t stay outside for too long. Vivian, take her back to the cabin.”


    Vivian looked back at jos, and jos nodded, “Let Mare escort you back.”


    Mare had already stood behind Vivian dutifully.


    Vivian smiled faintly at Mare, then nced at Camar, who was now subdued on the ground by everyone. He almost killed jos.


    Though Vivian still hadn’t figured out what exactly happened, why the bomb didn’t explode in the end, she was certain that it wasn’t Camar’s intention. Camar’s hatred towards jos exceeded her imagination.


    Although she felt sorry and sympathetic towards Camar’s plight, if Camar wanted to harm jos in this way…


    Sorry, she was Capo’s wife, the queen of Houston’s mafia, and she would never allow anyone to hurt her beloved husband and child.


    With her child in her arms, Vivian left without giving a second thought to pleading for Camar. This was unexpected for jos. It made him feel extremely surprised, though he had already made up his mind not to spare Camar regardless of Vivian’s pleas.


    Noah clearly understood jos, as his first words to jos were to take Camar away.


    “Not possible.” jos refused, “I will kill him myself; he must pay for his actions.”


    “Of course.” Noah had no objection to this, but he wouldn’t allow jos to act, “Camar is an ET mercenary, he defied my orders, betrayed his oath of loyalty, he must face judgment in front of all ET mercenaries.”


    Noah tried to persuade jos, “It is a ritual, a leader’s deterrence to his followers.”


    “You can bring his body back; that’s the best deterrent!” jos said fiercely.


    “I can judge him, even kill him personally, but that must be after the trial.” Noah pressed jos’ gun, covering the barrel with his palm.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    His tone was not as blunt and domineering as jos’, but it was firm, “I must protect every member of ET.”


    jos scowled, “He’s a traitor!”


    “Until the moment the judgment deres his death, he is still my follower.”


    jos red at Noah fiercely, their silent confrontation lingering until Noah said, “Vivian is waiting for you.”


    With those words, the tense atmosphere suddenly eased, and jos showed a hint ofpromise. Noah finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    “Cooperate…”


    With a gunshot, Camar’s agonizing scream resounded.
