Chapter 276 How Much Is She Worth?
Chapter 276 How Much Is She Worth?
In that moment of confrontation, the situation changed. Dark clouds hung heavily above the sea, and
the sea seemed exceptionally calm despite the storm brewing.
It seemed to foreshadow the intense situation that was about to occur.
In the dead silence of the stand-off, the cold and heavy atmosphere was extremely tense and
dangerous, as if it would ignite at the slightest spark.
These were trained pirates who would kill without batting an eye.
Nicole was just a survivor stranded here.
However, she did not have the slightest fear, and her hands wielding the gun did not tremble. She
pointed the gun at the pirate she was stepping on to make sure that he did not dare to struggle!
Raising her eyes, she looked at the dozens of guns aimed at herself with a firm and composed gaze.
Nathaniel's face went miserably white when he saw this scene.
His legs could not help but go limp as he involuntarily slumped to the ground.
Nicole glanced at him and whispered in a voice that the pirates could not hear.
"Don’t be scared. Stand behind me. Once you hear the gunshot, turn around and run, and don’t look
back."
The jungle was right behind them. They would have a greater chance of escaping there!
Nathaniel froze. He was an explorer. What dangers had he never encountered?
He had overcome the endless difficulties brought by nature, such as having no food, no water, and no
fire...
Whether it was being attacked by indigenous people, falling off a cliff, or getting robbed at sea by
pirates, Nathaniel had experienced all of it before.
However, right now, he was terrified. He trembled with a bone-chilling fear.
It was a suffocating feeling of impending death that made his scalp numb and his feet cold.
Humans were always scared and powerless in the face of death!
Not even Hollywood would be able to film such a scene.
However, what did this dainty and melodramatic woman say?
'Don’t be scared? Stand behind her? Don't look back?'
Nathaniel gritted his teeth and stood up stiffly, gradually suppressing the panic in his eyes.
How could he let a woman stand in front of him?
"I won't run. I told you that I'll protect you!"
Although he just said it casually at that time, he still remembered that promise.
Nicole wanted him to run so at least one of them would be able to survive.
However, before she could speak, the pirate on the other side impatiently barked out an order.
"Cut the crap and shoot!"
Nicole's expression changed dramatically as she cursed in her heart.
This man under her feet must not be an important figure.
Otherwise, the pirates would not be so indifferent to his well-being.
For an instant, she could feel the steadfast murderous intent in the movements of those pirates
opposite them.
She sharply noticed something in her peripheral vision.
A few dozen meters to their left was a rock that would act as a good place to take cover.
Once the fight started, she would not have many bullets with the gun in her hands.
The other side had many people, and Nicole's chances of winning were slim to none.
How long could they stall?
Either way, she was sure to lose!
"Wait...”
Nicole took a deep breath and spoke to them.
"Let's negotiate..."
The pirate opposite her was bloodthirsty and furious.
He did not look like he was in the mood for negotiation at all.
The chill permeated the air, which was eerie and terrifying.
Nicole continued, "State your terms. I crash-landed here and didn't come here of our own accord. We
don't have any conflicts of interest, so let us go. Just state your price."
The man looked at Nicole with disdain, his fierce face grim and angry.
"State a price? How much do you think you're worth?"
Nicole was just about to speak when the man who was pinned on the ground suddenly got up. He
broke free and fought back, swinging his fists at Nicole.
She was forced to take two steps back and took the opportunity to kick Nathaniel behind the other side
of the reef. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Cut the crap! How can I be insulted by a woman?
Hurry up and shoot!"
The slightly shorter and thinner pirate ordered.
At those words, Nicole reacted at the same time the shots were fired.
She instantly ducked and quickly hid behind some rocks.
"Bang bang bang—"
Countless bullets rushed at her, the sound piercing the skies!
The bullets shattered on the rocks and stray bullets whizzed past her ears. Her blood surged, but her
body went cold, and her scalp grew numb.
Death was extremely close to her... 10
