Chapter 64
The Merman, My Man by ck Velvet Chapter 64
I took a deep breath and gathered my courage before opening the cabin door.
The moment I opened the door, a thought surfaced in my mind—Dicken wille to my aid.
Although I was abhorrent to everything Dicken had done to me and how he had almost destroyed my
career as a researcher, I believed that he wouldn’t leave me behind for some unknown reason.
“What a hot woman! Now raise both your arms and behave! “

A rough and muscr man was standing in front of me. He was wearing a worn -out hat. He looked at
me with a deceitful and disgusting smirk.
He then aimed the opening of the gun barrel at my head.
Nobody would be calm at a time like this. So, unsurprisingly, the shirt on my back was already
drenched in sweat. I obediently raised my arms to show that I had no intention of rebelling against
them.
I carefully walked out of the cabin andposed myself as I said, “Calm down, I ‘m just a defense less
woman.“
The pirates on deck who pretended to be survivors had now done away with their disguises. All of them
were tanned and muscr . It looked like even the person who appeared like an elderly man was just
another pirate in disguise.
The pirates had already subdued all of the sailors in our crew. They knelt on the floor as their hands
and wrists were restrained with ropes.
However, there was a silver lining to the situation. Gary and the soldiers were not among those who
were restrained, which meant that they must’ve been hiding somewhere and were preparing for a
counterattack.
I was slightly relieved. I looked around the boat and hazarded a guess that they must’ve been hiding in
the cabins above deck. That was a strategic position as they could fire the guns downward and take
the pirates by surprise.
Just then, I felt the cor of my shirt tighten as the leader among the pirates tugged at it forcefully.
”Miss Linda! ” The few sailors who knew me eximed in fright.
Then, my stomach was punched fiercely, causing me to copse onto the floorboards and curl up while
I clutched the point of impact on my abdomen. How could a woman like me fight against such a
muscr man bare-handed?
After that, a leg enclosed in heard leather boots stomped onto my body. The muscr man looming
above me cackled in evilughter as he said, ”To the guys up there, do you think you’ re good at
hiding? Can’t you see that this woman is now in our hands? If you don’t lower your weapons, I will
make this woman suffer.“
‘Oh, God! The pirates must have noticed Gary and the rest!
No! I’m still in their hands. If this goes on, we’ll be at a disadvantage!’
As I was thinking, the sounds of guns being loaded could be heard from the second floor. The soldiers
were having a standoff with the group of pirates.
I remained hopeful. There weren’t that many pirates, and although they had guns, they were no match
for those trained professionals. ‘Maybe I just need to stall a little longer…’
But the impact of the punch earlier was too strong. ‘ That darn pirate! He didn’t go lightly on me even
though I ‘m a woman. I don’t know how much longer I can stand this.’
The pain in my abdomen was aggravating, and the boot was still holding my body down onto the floor.
I couldn’t believe that Dicken was the first person I wanted to see at this moment of desperation. It was
also the first time I truly yearned for his presence. So, I tried to raise my head and searched for his
figure on the surface of the sea.
The fog was thick, so I could barely make out the sea surface. Needless to say, I couldn’t spot Dicken
at all.
I couldn’t help but feel disappointed. ‘Maybe Dicken had left. With how we had treated him so far, there
was no way he would help us. He had the choice to return to his freedom in the deep sea. He has no
reason to involve himself in this life or death situation.’
