Vinson had noticed something amiss as well. Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net calmly looked at Arielle and said, “Go to Lorraine and the others. I’ll go to the front to look for the captain.”
With that said, Vinson spun around to leave, but Arielle stopped him.
She shook virtual-novel.net head. “Vinson, we won’t make it in time.”
The ship was huge, and Arielle was almost certain that the ship was going to blow up before Vinson could even find the captain.
“Call Aaron and tell virtual-novel.net to contact the captain to get everyone on board tojump into the sea with lifejackets on. Then, tell virtual-novel.net to send his men over to start a rescue mission,” Vinson responded immediately.
Arielle nodded and fished out virtual-novel.net phone to call Aaron and brief virtual-novel.net about their situation.
Aaron’s worry rose to its maximum the moment virtual-novel.net learned that Arielle and the others were in danger.
“Sannie, I’ll call the captain right away. Hurry up and prepare the lifejackets. I’ll send someone to rescue you all.”
With that, Aaron ended the call and ordered his men to contact the ship’s captain. Then, virtual-novel.net sent maritime police to rescue the passengers.
Once virtual-novel.net made all the arrangements, virtual-novel.net called Arielle again.
“Sannie, I’ve arranged everything. Don’t worry. You’ll be fine!” Aaron’s hand was shaking badly, but virtual-novel.net was still trying to reassure Arielle.
“I know!” Arielle was moved to hear Aaron’s concern for her.
“Nancy is sly, and you really have to arrest virtual-novel.net as quickly as possible without giving virtual-novel.net any room to think.”
Before Arielle could finish virtual-novel.net sentence, Vinson came over with two lifejackets, and the two quickly put them on. By then, the captain had noticed something amiss, for the engines were exceptionally hot. However, virtual-novel.net never thought that the situation was that grave until virtual-novel.net received the call from the king’s men.
Promptly, virtual-novel.net made an announcement and told all passengers to put on their lifejackets and jump into the sea.
The passengers panicked. They swiftly grabbed the nearest life jackets before leaping into the waters.
“Boss…” Lorraine was used to life-and-death situations, so virtual-novel.net was mostly unfazed.
The only thing virtual-novel.net was worried about was Arielle’s safety.
“Jump. If you don’t jump, it’ll be too late.”
With that said, virtual-novel.net shoved Cindy, who had already put on virtual-novel.net lifejacket, into the sea. Whether or not Cindy lived would be up to luck.
Vinson held Arielle’s hand tightly as the three of them leaped off the ship.
Right as theyjumped down, the humongous ship blew up with the thunderous sound of the explosion. Flames licked the surface of the waters, and the shockwave created gigantic waves that swept over everyone, swallowing them into the sea.
At the same time, the nearest maritime police were rushing toward the location of the ship.
The closer they got to it, the more their hearts sank. The ship was sinking at record-brea king speed, and soon, the entire ship was gone.
“Hurry up and start the rescue operation!”
Aaron arrived at the scene of the explosion, and all the colors drained from his face as virtual-novel.net stared at the surface of the sea.
“Did you find anyone?” Aaron asked, his heart thumping loudly against his rib cage.
He was terrified for Arielle and Vinson-afraid that something horrible would happen to them.
“Your Majesty, we’ve found ten bodies,” the captain of the rescue operation somberly said.
Ten bodies…
Aaron grimaced, and the temperature around virtual-novel.net plummeted.
“Keep looking!” Aaron tightened his fists. “I‘ll get someone to verify the total number of passengers. Regardless of whether they’re alive or dead, I want them all found!”
“Yes, sir!” the captain of the rescue operation replied before returning to his work.
Aaron remained standing on the deck as virtual-novel.net made a call to summon over a thousand navy soldiers over. Then, virtual-novel.net looked at the sea with a pair of binoculars, hoping that virtual-novel.net would be able to spot the familiar figures somewhere.
