[She's pregnant and still entering such a dangerous place? That's incredibly risky.][Hesper and Rickard must have stirred up quite a hornet's nest the last time they were in Montequinto. They may not want to return, but they have no other choice.]While someone on the platform had already revealed the truth, here, the journey had just begun, and all speculations remained just that – speculations. Hesper and Rickard paid no attention to the livestream.After all, if something unsuitable for broadcasting were to happen, the live broadcast would undoubtedly be stopped – whether it occurred in the next second or at some point later.Rickard relayed his findings. "There's still half an hour left, and two families haven't boarded the ship yet."One of them was the Summers. Hesper hadn't expected the Summers to be this savvy. Without Chelsea, the Summers were already on a declining path, forced to come to the black market in search of opportunities.As expected, not long after, some me

According to Hesper, Gerard was indeed an exceptionally upright police officer, especially given his involvement in the investigation related to the hallucinogenic drug many years ago.Initially, Hesper had been unaware of Gerard's role in the matter. She only discovered it later during her investigation, thanks partly to Zoya's extra effort when wrapping up the situation in Fredonia.Later, Gerard proactively contacted Hesper, stating that he might have a solution to the matter, and that was why Hesper chose to meet him before leaving Fredonia.Leaving evidence of these events for the future was almost impossible. Even the live broadcast might be cut off, and Hesper was well aware of this. Hence, they needed authoritative figures present as witnesses.If it were just representatives from Montequinto and Halwanest presenting their respective sides of the story, it might lead to more complications. However, with Gerard present, the situation took on a different dimension.Gerard lo

He was akin to a ravenous wolf, ready to employ any means to achieve his goals. Those who placed their trust in him might as well have thrown themselves into shark-infested waters."You might not have a death sentence, but if you die now, you'll lose everything." Hesper's counsel had a mesmerizing quality. While some remained unmoved, a growing number began to waver. Initially, they had sought modest profits from the drug trade and hadn't considered the possibility of total ruin.The rationale behind Hesper's words was crystal clear to everyone present. It was just that, until now, they had clung to their meager gains."We... We'll plead guilty, and we won't resist!" The first to speak was Fenix.Hesper smiled at him, recognizing his profound fear of death. With the first surrender, others were likely to follow suit.At that moment, most of the people on the ship had decided to confess.Sullivan stood by Hesper, observing how these individuals were swayed, a smile playing on his

"This is probably where our luck ends," Hesper whispered to herself.She had contemplated this possibility before, but in her thoughts, it was always her and Rickard leaving this world together. However, the current outcome appeared different.She had resolved never to leave with Sullivan, so it seemed this vast ocean would be her final destination.Meanwhile, Rickard would depart from this place, leaving behind the violence, schemes, calculations, and danger, moving towards a brighter future. The only difference was that in that future, she wouldn't be by his side.As tears rolled down Hesper's cheeks, a sudden sound emerged nearby, capturing everyone's attention. To their surprise, it was Charles and his men, approaching on a yacht.Tension gripped everyone's hearts for a moment.A glimmer of hope ignited in Hesper's eyes, and Rickard boarded another speedboat from the ship, heading toward their rescue.Sullivan sneered at the sight and ordered an evacuation. His yacht was not

Hesper's tears fell onto Charles's neck. Sensing this, the man sighed helplessly and comforted her, "Don't worry about me. After living for so long, I feel too tired now. Now that my baby's future has been secured, I believe... You'll take good care of my child, won't you?"Desperation filled Hesper's nod, and Charles breathed a sigh of relief. "I've done a lot of wrongs in my life. Now... being able to secure you a lifetime's worth of happiness... I consider this an exceptional end."Listening to Charles's words, Hesper remained silent as tears streamed down her cheeks. Knowing that Charles's life was already coming to an end, she solemnly promised, "I'll find a way to make sure that your child is born, and I'll treat them well... very well... very, very well..."Upon hearing Hesper's promise, Charles nodded, and then, as if he had let go of any lingering concerns, he closed his eyes.The moment she saw Charles closing his eyes, Hesper burst into tears.Rickard crouched beside He
