Chapter 1148


    Moreover, Krystal understood that the affairs of the underworld were not something a naive girl like


    Lina could fullyprehend. She recalled how Nichs hade to her rescue when her life hung by


    a thread, saving her from the brink of death.


    It was a simple act of kindness for Krystal, but for the young and grateful Krystal, Nichs was a hero


    who had seemingly descended from the heavens. She had always wanted to find a way to repay him,


    but instead, she unintentionally ended up aiding the viins 20 years ago. The remorse had haunted


    her ever since. Finally, now she had the chance…


    Krystal smirked and looked at Lina, ready to speak, but Krystal continued before she could ask any


    questions. “By the way, let Nichs know that Krys feels like she has let him down. Despite everything,


    I find myself still involved in this shady business instead of walking the righteous path.”

    Lina paused for a moment, collecting her thoughts, and replied softly, “One’s actions are often beyond


    their control in the underworld.”


    Krystal’s hand, holding the doorknob, froze. She looked at Lina with a hint of incredulity in her gaze.


    Lina smiled awkwardly. “I may not fully understand your affairs, but I canprehend that when it


    comes to survival, people often make choices that are most beneficial to themselves. So, I don’t think


    you have disappointed anyone, Madame Krys.”


    Krystal’s lips twitched, wanting to say something, but she found herself unable to utter a word.


    “However, understanding doesn’t equate to approval.” Lina chuckled. “The businesses you have been


    involved in are undoubtedly in the gray area, if not outright illegal… Regardless, I genuinely hope that


    you can change your ways!”


    Krystal chuckled in response. It was the first time she, as the boss calling the shots in the underworld,


    had been lectured by a young girl. Strangely, the girl’s words resonated with her, even though she


    knew redemption was unlikely in this lifetime.


    “You truly resemble your father,” she said solemnly. “Your words echo his.”


    Lina’s expression changed, and she lowered her gaze.


    Krystal briefly entered the room and emerged, holding something in her hand. Lina and Renee took a

    It was a wanted poster issued by the Southeast Aciatic police. The person depicted in the photo was


    none other than the man lying unconscious in the other half of the cabin.


    “Among Justin’s subordinates, there is an undercover agent sent by the police,” Krystal exined


    sinctly. “After all these years, the Southeast Aciatic police likely have sufficient evidence. It’s only a


    matter of time before they apprehend him.”


    Lina and Renee exchanged nces, remaining silent.


    “So, this time, we’re heading to Southeast Aciatic,” Krystal stated, looking at them. “Once the ship


    docks, there will be a fierce battle… Justin won’t have time for the two of you then. You can take


    advantage of the chaos and disembark.


    “Once you reach Southeast Aciatic, you’ll have to rely on yourselves!”


    Back in Centrolis…


    Zuko and Toph apanied Nichs once again to the prison.


    This time, when they saw Melvin, he no longer exuded the same arrogance as before. He emerged


    from limping and restrained by handcuffs and shackles. His body was covered in wounds, although


    none were fatal.


    They were agonizing wounds that left him incapable of eating or drinking.


    Melvin received special “attention” from Nichs’ subordinates every day in prison. The prison guards


    showed him no mercy, harshly striking his calf with their batons whenever he showed any signs of


    slowing down.


    Melvin screamed in agony, copsing to the floor like a dog with severed tendons.


    Nichs sat there, his expression cold, anger brewing in his eyes.


    “Heh… If you can, get someone to kill me…” Melvin smirked, speaking defiantly. “If you kill me… your


    daughter will never return! I’ve already sold her! Hahaha… Nichs, when you seek pleasure, you may


    stumble upon her… Hahaha!”


    Nichs clenched his fists tightly!


    Before he could strike, Zuko swiftly rushed forward and stomped heavily on Melvin’s head!


    The prison guards made a symbolic attempt to intervene but quickly backed away.


    “Don’t worry. I won’t let you die so easily.” Zuko gritted his teeth. “I have plenty of ways and means to


    y with you! I’ll make you suffer until you beg for life but find no sce in death!”
