However, Joshua reacted swiftly and blocked him. Yerick used this moment to swiftly
distance himself from Joshua, breaking free of his control.
Right at that moment, Cynthia aimed the gun she had snatched earlier at Yerick. “Make
another move, and I won’t hesitate to shoot!!
Upon her threat, everyone around her pointed their guns at her and Joshua. Cynthia had
always known that Yerick was skillful and full of trickery. Otherwise, their small team would
not have suffered such a loss at his hands.
“Do you think you can threaten me? After you shoot me, they’ll shoot you.” Yerich seemed
unfazed.
Maintaining her aim at him, Cynthia pulled Joshua behind her. Only when she touched him
did she understand what Yerick meant by Joshua having a fever. She felt the heat radiating

“You can all me. However, you’ll die before I do. That means when you meet Dani in the
underworld, you won’t be able to answer when she asks if Joshua is dead or alive,”
Cynthia began, understanding Yerick’s mindset.
Yerick paused at her words. Cynthia continued, “Want to make a bet? Whether the island
explodes first or my people rescue Joshua”
“Don’t you dislike him?” Yerkk questioned, genuinely puzzled by Cynthia’s actions.
“Yes, I dislike him, but that doesn’t stop me from saving him, nor does it stop me from
dealing with you,” Cynthia said with detached demeanor. If she could, she would end
Yerick’s life right there and then. However, if Yerick were to die, many clues that Captain
and his team sought would vanish. The island would also explode.
“I will set you free if you hand Joshua over to me,” Yerick proposed, as though after
considerable thought. Neither Cynthia nor Joshua responded.
Yerick raised an eyebrow. “You don’t believe me?”
“No, I don’t, Cynthia replied succinctly.
“Then I’ll be your hostage. Tie me to the ship When you reach a place you deems safe,
you can hand him over to me. How about that?” Yerick voluntarily suggested, offering
various solutions.
“Did you tamper with the ship?” Cynthia immediately became suspicious.
“Indeed. I’ve planted explosives on it. As soon as you board, it’ll go boom!” Yerick affirmed
with a light smile, gradually closing the distance between them.
Retreating a few steps, Cynthia warned, “Stay where you are!”
“Alright, alright, I won’t move. You’re wasting your energy. The moment you entered here,
you’re already dead, Yerick. replied, seeming obedient and leisurely chatting with them.

Nadia, Jayleen, and some innocent people might have been in danger. Staring at Yerick,
she racked her brains for a solution. Behind him, Joshua was also thinking and observing
Just when Joshua wondered why the others were still not here to help, he caught sight of
someone waving at him from below
cliff out of the corner of his eye. That very instant, he saw a glimmer of hope.
“Cynthia..” Joshua suddenly called her name.
Deeply focused on Yerick’s every move, Cynthia dared not loosen hier vigilance even for a
moment. In response to Joshua’s call, she simply replied, “Speak”
“Try not to die,” Joshua said.
Before Cynthia could even comprehend the altuation, Joshua grabbed her and pulled her
off the cliff.
