Hearing that, Bailey raised her brows.
“How can that be possible? You're the one in charge of the battleship. Are you going to let Artemis take
me away while we're in your territory?”
Raiden shook his head with a smile. “Of course he's not going to do as he pleases on my territory. If he
dares to cross the line and go against the orders of the army, I'll shoot him and send him to meet his
maker. Still, I'm guessing he won't risk his life to challenge my patience. After all, he's a global
millionaire with assets worth trillions. He has a wonderful life, so why would he gamble with it?”
“That's that, then.” Bailey shrugged before reaching out to pull open the door and get into the car.
Raiden couldn't help but laugh. “I'm not worried about Artemis coming after you; I'm worried that you'll
feel reluctant to part and return to him yourself.”
Bailey waved her hands dismissively and uttered, “That's impossible. If I was reluctant to leave, I
wouldn't have asked you to get me out of here with a battleship. It's not a simple favor to owe you, you
know?”
Raiden got into the car as well and chuckled. “You've contributed much to the country, and a reward for
that is due. But fame and money aren't your things, so I didn't ask for that for you. Just take this
battleship trip as a reward from the government for the 5G core technology. This won't be a personal
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfavor, so be at ease.”
Bailey blinked.
It'll be great if that's the case.
She truly did not wish to be indebted to Raiden. It was not because she would not be able to repay the
favor another time but because his feelings for her made her want to keep a distance from him.
Artemis alone was already a massive headache. Bailey was not interested in having another man who
had the power of the army become obsessed with her.
The car moved slowly, but in no time, it sped off.
The journey was a smooth one.
As Raiden had said, Artemis did not dare to provoke him, as he had military power. With just one order
from him, the sky would rain bullets and fill Artemis with holes.
Once they reached the port, Raiden led her onto the battleship.
“Which route are we taking?” Bailey asked with a frown.
Raiden folded his hands behind his back and surveyed the choppy waves on the deck before saying,
“We'll be heading west along the inland sea until we cross the border. I'm sure you have a way out
once we're out of the country, right?”
Bailey nodded. “Yes. All you need to do is send me beyond the border. Thank you.”
“That'll be easy.”
The battleship started moving and slowly made its way out of the shallow waters toward the seemingly
endless ocean.
Bailey continued staying on the deck, watching the bustling city fade from her sight. Her eyes
darkened.
She had been coming and going from various places freely all these years.
Yet, in Hallsbay, she had developed a bond she found hard to let go of.
Her heart had changed drastically.
Goodbye, the city that has made me lose myself.
Meanwhile, at the port, Artemis was standing at the highest spot, watching the ocean with a pair of
binoculars.
Ken walked over to him and lowered his head. “Mr. Luther, news has come from the military port. Mr.
Fletcher's battleship that Bailey is on has left for the sea.”
Artemis ignored him, his gaze still fixed on the ocean.
There, a ship was slowly heading toward the deep waters.
Artemis' gaze darkened.
Bailey, Bailey. I'm surprised you even thought about taking a battleship to leave this place. Should I say
that you're smart, or should I say that you're stubborn?
“Is the sniper ready?” he quietly asked as he lowered the binoculars.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKen hesitated for a moment before saying through gritted teeth, “We can head overseas to look for Ms.
Jefferson after this. There's no point risking your life like this. Although the sniper I've hired is one of the
best, we can't guarantee that nothing will go wrong. If the target moves—”
Artemis waved his hand to stop Ken from continuing. In a gloomy voice, he said, “I want to tell her in
this way that I've trapped her heart here. Even if her body escapes from me, her heart cannot.”
At that, Ken fell silent. He could not stop the complicated emotions from crossing his face.
Artemis was a strong man with few desires. Nothing in the world could crush him.
Yet, a man who had everything like him was more than willing to risk his life for a woman.
“Make the arrangements per my instructions earlier.”
“Got it.”
Right as Ken left, Artemis' phone rang.
When he fished it out of his pocket, he realized it was a call from the Luther residence.
“Bad news, Mr. Luther! Mr. Maxton has been bitten by a cobra!”
Artemis narrowed his eyes and snapped, “Why are you calling me instead of Justin?”
“B-But Mr. Xuereb is out of the country!”
Artemis shuddered.
The venom of a cobra is fatal. Without the appropriate antidote, the victim will not have long to live.
“I'm on my way back. Get the infirmary to find a way to prep the antidote. Tell them that they're dead
meat if anything happens to my son.”
