Chapter 691
Chapter 691 Mr. Craw...Quick...
In the never-ending blue ocean, two bloated bodies were floating nearby.
The ferocious waves washed them near the deck.
It was a man and a woman.
However, their features were swollen after being soaked in seawater. They were barely recognizable.
After screaming in horror, Nina shouted at the bodyguards to rescue the two floating bodies and see if they had any chance of surviving.
However, the bodyguards would never take action without Percy's order.
It did not help that the two bodies looked extremely bloated and obviously dead. The bodyguards did not follow through with Nina's instructions, so Nina quarreled with them.
When Percy arrived, he saw Nina screaming at his bodyguards to save the floating corpses.
Nina saw Percy walking over and immediately ran to him. She took his arm and pulled him to the edge of the deck. "Percy, get your bodyguard to rescue the two people! They might still be alive. We have to save them!"
Percy frowned. He was never someone who went above and beyond for others.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere were many floating corpses in the ocean every year. He would be exhausted if he salvaged each one.
He could tell at a glance that the two floating corpses had been seriously injured. They must have been in sserious trouble before their deaths, trouble that he did not want to be involved in.
Percy looked at the two floating corpses and said coldly, "They're already dead. What’s the point of saving them? I can't be bothered about it!"
Nina was so angry that she wanted to push him away, but Percy remained motionless even after Nina gave it everything she got.
"Why are you so cold-blooded? Is human life worthless in your eyes?" She kicked Percy's calf hard and felt as though she had kicked a cold iron block. She gritted her teeth in pain but Percy was unaffected.
"Childish!" Percy glanced at her with a cold expression. When he saw that she was alright, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Since you’re not willing to save them, I will!" After she said that, Nina took off her coat and gritted her teeth, about to jump into the ocean.
It was a matter of life and death, so she could not bring herself not to do anything.
Even though the two floating bodies seemed to be dead, what if... What if they were still alive?
Percy immediately grabbed her.
Nina's limp body fell back on his rock-hard chest.
Percy was extremely displeased when he saw how insistent Nina was to save the two corpses. He said in a cold and stern tone, "What nonsense! Mallory One, Mallory Two, go, save those floating corpses!"
Mallory One and Mallory Two, who had just been screamed at by Nina, jumped into the ocean as soon as they received Percy's orders.
The two floating corpses were salvaged. The doctor on the boat checked on the man and the woman.
Both of them had been badly injured.
The man had three gunshots in his chest, a bullet in his leg, and his back was embedded with bomb fragments. The woman's condition was slightly better. She was shot in the abdomen and there were two stab wounds on her thigh. She had no other wounds.
However, it was unclear how long they had been floating in the ocean. It certainly had not helped the inflammation on their wounds, which looked disgusting.
Nina pulled on the doctor's white coat anxiously and asked, "Doctor, are they still alive?"
The doctor sighed and said with disbelief, "They've been floating in the ocean for at least three days. The lady's injuries are less severe and most of them are not fatal. That’s how she's still surviving even after being out in the ocean for so long. This gentleman, however... His condition is not looking optimistic. He’s suffering from two fatal injuries to his lungs. The ocean water didn't do these wounds any good. His chance of survival is almost zero, but this gentleman has strong willpower. He still has a pulse, he's still alive. This... This is incredible!" "Craw... Mr. Craw... Quick... Quick..." the man suddenly uttered something.
However, he was too weak and his voice was as soft as a mosquito hum.
Nina, who was closest to the man, could not hear much even if she tried her best to.
'Who is Mr. Craw? Their enemy?'
The doctor looked at the survivors as though they were monsters. He said, "Oh my God, if this were an ordinary person, even if they weren't injured, being out in the ocean for so long would've killed them. It's a miracle that these two lived to see the light of day considering how serious their injuries are!"
Percy was not surprised. He had suffered injuries much more serious than this and was still alive and well, so why should they complain?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I told you that they’re still alive. I've always believed that miracles can happen. Now, do you believe me? Doctor, you have to help them. After all that they've been through, they must have extraordinary willpower and unfulfilled wishes. Or else, they wouldn't have held on..."
Nina talked to the doctor and then gave Percy a triumphant look.
Percy's unwavering and cold heart was touched by her delicate expression. Out of the blue, his heart softened.
However, he maintained his stern face and looked like an iceberg that could not be melted at all. He said, "You can save them, but you have to eat. Otherwise, I’ll have them thrown back into the ocean! Now, go eat your dinner!"
He leaned over in a commanding posture while staring at Nina.
His command was not to be ignored.
Nina was annoyed.
She had seen how cruel Percy could be. He did what he said, so all she could do was stare at him.
When she saw how emotionless he was, she turned around angrily and stormed to the dining hall. She muttered angrily as she walked, "Okay, I'll eat... You're a bully! A shameless bully!"
Mallory One and Mallory Two were used to Percy and Nina's interactions. They stood by the side, pretending to be deaf and dumb.
In the public eye, Percy Mallory was known for his cruel ways and bad temper. He had always adhered to the principle of 'if people do not offend me, I won't offend others; when others offend me, I will destroy them!'
The mention of his nwas enough to send shivers down one's spine.
Percy's irritable temper was under control only when he was with Nina. He was very tolerant of her, which cas a surprise.
Percy put his hands in his pockets as he watched Nina's slender figure disappearing when she walked into the dining hall. However, when he shifted his gaze to the mysterious man and woman who had been rescued, his expression suddenly turned cold.
He had never hosted people who cfrom unknown origins.
It seemed that he had to investigate their backgrounds...
