Chapter 702


    The next morning, Renee asked to see Vaughn. Luke was reluctant, but agreed atst.


    Renee thought Vaughn would definitely let her go if she asked.


    She could bribe him if necessary.


    When Vaughn pushed the door open and came out, Renee glimpse Tracey on a luxurious bed.


    Renee despised Tracey even more. She was the opposite of all she was cracked up to be.


    She was dissolute and relished seducing men. It hadn''t been long since she left Adam but she was


    now on another man''s bed.


    Tracey had had a warm and cozy night in such avish room with conditioner while she''d tossed


    and turned on a creaking bed.


    She''d woken up several times from coldst night but she couldn''t me Luke for it. There were


    people sharing one room.


    "Vaughn, Miss Xia wants to get off when we reach the next port for replenishment, which is only


    hours away."


    Luke tried to persuade Vaughn to release Renee. He knew the longer she stayed here the more


    dangerous it would be for her.


    Last night, Renee hadn''t seen Vaughn clearly in the dim light. It turned out he was a tall man with


    stubble on his face.


    Vaughn was quite different from the business elites she used to know.


    His sharp eyes were like those of an eagle and he got the aura of an intimidating predator.


    Renee quailed and said, "Thank you for saving mest night. I will give you a reward after I get in


    touch with my family. Please let me get off at the next port."


    "Luke, didn''t you tell her no one can leave this ship easily?" Vaughn nced at Luke. He knew Luke


    wanted to help this woman.


    "Why? You saved me and I am very grateful for that, but you can''t force me to stay on your ship."


    Renee was a little anxious.


    Luke''s warning came back to her. Who on earth were those guys?


    "You said reward. What kind of reward?" Vaughn gazed at her coldly. He hadn''t liked this woman


    since what she''d saidst night.


    He was an incisive observer, which was why he survived all these years. His instinct told him Renee


    was maniptive.


    "Name your price." Renee bit her lip. She had seen Ro give five billion to Leo, and she believed


    that he wouldn''t leave her in the lurch.


    "I want your life." Vaughn enunciated every syble.


    Renee met his eyes and realized he meant it.


    "You..." Renee frowned. "I can give you money."


    "It seems you still don''t have a grasp of the situation. Luke, tell her who we are." Vaughn crossed


    his legs, lighting a cigarette in an offhand manner.


    Renee looked at Luke, waiting for his answer.


    "We''re... pirates."


    All Renee knew about pirates was from movies and amusement parks.


    Seeing them in flesh was beyond her wildest dream! She didn''t know if it was a good thing to be


    saved by pirates.


    She had so long lived in a peaceful country away from disasters that she forgot about the dark sides


    of the world.


    War, drug smugglers, and pirates were also parts of it.


    Somali pirates only existed in books for her.


    "You... You are pirates?" She saw a gun on the man''s waist.


    God, could things get worse? She''d actually been gratefulst night.


    "Yes, we are pirates." Luke dipped his head. They were notorious pirates.


    "You have only two options, jump overboard or stay." Vaughn took a puff on the cigarette.


    "Please let me go, I beg you. My families are waiting for me. I won''t say a word about you." Renee


    implored. Stay on the ship with demons terrified her.


    "It''s my ship and I make the rules."


    "Feel free to go back to the sea if you can''t abide by my rules. From the sea and back to the sea.


    Sounds nice."


    "Vaughn, she''s just a girl, not a foe. Why not just let her go?" Luke ventured.

    "Luke, you know the rules. Don''t try my patience." Vaughn said gravely.


    "Yes..."


    Renee looked haggard and pale. "What about her? The woman you rescuedst night. Can''t she


    leave either?"


    "Of course, everyone is the same. What''s the rtionship between the two of you?" Vaughn


    sounded curious.


    He wondered what had happened and why they had fallen in the water.


    "I don''t know her." Although Renee was indignant, she decided not to confront them now.


    They were thugs who wouldn''t blink to throw her overboard.


    Besides, Tracey was still on the ship.


    She couldn''t leave without killing her. She would stay.
