Chapter 529

Three shots.

Three people died on the deck.

Everything came so suddenly that Lilith and Cobalt didn’t even react.

It wasn’t until Elsa Marin fell to the ground and her right hand landed on Lilith’s foot that she stepped back in panic and let out a terrified cry, “Ah ……”

The glasses girl cried out in even more terror, “Don’t kill me, I don’t want the treasure, no more.

I just want to go home and find my mom ……

I’ll never come treasure hunting again ……”

Luke “……”

These two were obviously shocked by the murderous scene.

Luke steeply realized that although the three were treasure hunting partners, they had only been in contact for a few days, not to mention the fact that there had just been a traitor, Elsa Marin, and their trust in each other was greatly diminished.

Were they simply frightened by the scene in front of them?

Or were they worried that they wanted to kill and keep the treasure all to themselves?

Perhaps ……

It was both.

Instead of comforting the two, Luke simply uncuffed them from the plastic handcuffs and asked, “Is there anyone else on the yacht?”

Lilith rubbed her wrists and her big blue eyes looked at Luke with some complexity, “Not sure, I only saw Elsa Marin with the tattooed man alone.”

Luke said, “You guys stay here and don’t move, there might be other people on the yacht, I’m going to search it.”

Hearing that there might be other thugs, Lilith grabbed Luke’s shoulder and said with concern, “Be careful.”

The glasses girl also re-picked up her own pistol, “We’ll protect ourselves.”

Luke smiled, didn’t say anything, and entered the yacht first to search the first floor.

Glasses Girl looked at Lilith, “Lilith, what should we do now?”

Lilith looked at the bodies on the ground and took a deep breath, “It was Luke who saved us, we should thank him.”

Glasses Girl nodded, “You’re right, I was so freaked out that I forgot to thank him.”

Lilith gazed over to the cockpit, “Is the marine satellite phone in the cockpit?”

“Yes.”

“Go call the police and get the situation here and our location.”

“Okay.” Glasses girl’s eyes lit up, rushed into the cab, she picked up the marine satellite phone and pressed the switch, but found that the marine satellite phone did not respond, after checking carefully, her face changed greatly, “Lilith, the marine satellite phone is broken.”

Lilith also hurried into the cab, “How could it be broken?”

“Could it be Elsa Marin did it?” Glasses Girl gritted her teeth, “Not only did this bad girl take advantage of us carrying the treasure to bring the tattooed man on the yacht, she also took the opportunity to cause damage.”

Lilith asked, “Can you fix it?”

“I’m not sure.”

Lilith suddenly had an inexplicable fear and a deep sense of powerlessness, this nameless sea island’s relatively remote, people to rare, it will soon be dark, there are no other ships around at all, the maritime satellite phone was destroyed, which is equal to them temporarily losing contact with the outside world.

Luke entered the first floor of the yacht, searched all the rooms, and searched some equipment from Elsa Marin’s room, which he guessed was probably brought up by the tattooed man.

However, no other thugs were found.

Luke boarded the deck again, and Lilith and Cobalt had already recovered from their earlier panic, and only looked a little different.

Luke asked, “Did you call the police?”

Cobalt sighed, “The marine satellite phone is broken, no way to call the police.”

Lilith suggested, “Why don’t we return to St. Thomas and call the police?”

“That’s fine, but there are two problems to solve before we go back.” Luke pointed at the three corpses on the ground, “St. Thomas is more than a hundred nautical miles from here, are you going to bring these three corpses back with you?”

Lilith shook her head, “No, I don’t want to stay with these three corpses. Not for a minute.”

The glasses girl chimed in, “Me too.

It’s not a good idea to meet other people on the road and maybe start a misunderstanding.”

Luke continued, “We still have one box of gold bricks and six boxes of silver bricks left in the cave.

It will take at least six or seven hours to pack up the bodies and return to St. Thomas.

The police may also detain us after we call them, and the time it will take for us to return to this island again is still unknown, and it’s anyone’s guess whether or not the treasure inside the cave is still there.”

Lilith asked, “So what are your thoughts?”

Luke said, “Let’s move the bodies to the shore, rest for the night, bring back the remaining treasure inside the cave tomorrow, and then return to St. Thomas to call the police.

That’s my idea.”

Lilith said, “Elsa Marin should have contacted her accomplice through a maritime satellite phone, and her accomplice’s boat is probably hidden somewhere near the island.

The boat most likely has a marine satellite phone, we can find their boat and use their marine satellite phone to call the police.”

Luke said, “According to your idea, even if we find the gangster’s boat, it will be dark and it will be more difficult to move the treasure.

If the police get here early, the remaining treasure is still in the cave.

Do you think those treasures will still belong to us?”

The rainforest was dark at night, even Luke was in awe and did not want to cross the rainforest at night.

Lilith shook her head slightly, “I don’t know ……”

“I think the premise of calling the police should be to arrange the treasure first, so that the subsequent things can be handled.” Although Luke was also a police officer, he did not trust the integrity of the local police.

The huge treasure was a huge test of humanity, and the more people there were, the more complicated things would be and the more variables there would be.

Lilith softly agreed, “You’re right. Let’s do it.”

Luke asked, “Why do I get the feeling you guys are a little nervous?”

Lilith replied, “Probably scared by the thugs.”

The corner of Luke’s mouth curled into a smile, “With me here, what do you guys have to be afraid of?”

Lilith forced a smile, “You’re right, I’m much more solid with you around.

What should we do now?”

Luke said, “Take pictures first, then move the bodies to the island, with the hot and humid climate here, these bodies will stink by the time they’re put in tomorrow, there’s no way to stay on the yacht by then.”

Lilith and Cobalt were a bit uncomfortable facing the bodies of the outlaws, but both of them did not raise any objections and assisted Luke to dispose off the corpses together and clean the deck of the yacht.

By the time they finished cleaning up, it was already dark.

Tropical rainforest climate does not move are sweating, Luke busy day, has long been a sweaty, “I’m going to take a shower, you guys first keep an eye on it.”

After seeing Luke off, Lilith and Glasses Girl looked at each other and both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

An hour later, a tall, hard-faced man walked out from the first floor cabin, changing into a clean short shirt and beach pants, full of vacation style.

It was only the pistol he carried with him that marred the harmony.

Luke lit a cigarette and stood on the deck of the yacht to smoke, it was already dark, the southern side of the island was like a layer of black veil, more than a hint of mystery, and occasionally you could hear a hissing of a wild animal, interspersed with the sound of the waves, and could not make out what kind of animal it was.

A light was on in the cab, and Luke pushed the door open and stepped in to see Cobalt hunched over the table press with her head down, busy.

“What are you doing?”

“Ah ……”

Cobalt was startled and whipped his head around to look at Luke, his eyes landed on the pistol at his waist and he stood up with a ‘miso’, “I’m fixing the satellite phone.” The glasses girl waved her hand, “I wasn’t going to call the police, I just wanted to share the joy of acquiring the treasure with my family.”

Luke found a chair and sat down, waving his hand, “Go take a shower, relax and unwind, don’t stress yourself too much, it’s over.”

“Okay.” The glasses girl stood up in a hurry, took the parts of the satellite phone and walked quickly to the driver’s door, as if she was afraid that Luke would regret it.

Luke frowned slightly, “Where’s Lilith?”

The master bedroom of the yacht, inside the bathroom.

Lilith appeared to be lazily lying in the bathtub, but her pretty face looked a little disturbed, a layer of white foam floated on the surface of the bathtub, and her marvelous figure was hidden.

Elsa Marin’s betrayal made it a little difficult for her to accept, she had already given Elsa Marin an extremely lucrative reward, and did not expect that she would still contact outsiders to pit herself, not only for the treasure, but also for her own life.

At the same time, she also felt unprecedented panic and fear, she touched her towering breasts and clearly felt her heart beating faster than usual.

The source of her fear was complex, first she was held hostage by Elsa Marin and the tattooed man, then Luke killed three people in a row with a shotgun and saved her and Cobalt.

In that moment, she was grateful to Luke, but equally new fears came.

First was the killing scene, seeing the man named Cam get his head blown off straight away, that murderous scene scares her now even thinking about it, then the tattooed man and Elsa Marin were killed, both with a single shot.

She had a vague fear then that Luke would kill her along with the glasses girl.

She knew she shouldn’t doubt her companion, especially since the other had just saved her life.

But that fear deepened further with the destruction of the maritime satellite phone; they couldn’t contact the outside world, and outsiders had no idea what was going on here.

As long as Luke was willing …… all the treasure would belong to him alone.

Reason told her that Luke was trustworthy, and the other party should not kill for money.

But Elsa Marin’s betrayal was at hand ……

The ideas are tangled, but not contradictory.

Just like a comic book movie, when there is a villain who wants to destroy the earth, the superheroes will protect the earth without hesitation and people will be grateful to them.

However, when the villain disappears.

Superheroes may instead turn into a new threat, and they intentionally or unintentionally harm no fewer lives than the villain.

When people were faced with superheroes who could decide whether they lived or died at the drop of a hat, their first reaction was not safety or admiration, but fear, a fear that originated from biological instinct.

Lilith lay back in the bath and allowed herself to relax as much as possible, contemplating the current situation.

With the marine satellite phone damaged, they were in the vicinity of an uninhabited island that could essentially be described as isolated, and very importantly the yacht still had over ten million dollars worth of treasure on board.

In the face of great benefits, human nature will gradually be exposed.

Luke can kill Elsa Marin and her associates without even blinking an eye, and likewise kill her and Cobalt, both of whom combined are incapable of resisting.

The entire situation on the yacht was completely under Luke’s control.

She thought differently, what would she do if she were Luke?

The first possibility was that Luke was of high moral character and never wanted to keep the treasure for himself, and that it was all in her head.

The second possibility, Luke is also hesitating, torn between doing and not doing, this possibility is the biggest and the most terrible.

The life and death of himself and Cobalt could be at Luke’s fingertips.

Lilith suddenly thought of the first time she met Luke at the party at the female deputy mayor’s house, when she had just bought the treasure that Luke had found at the auction house, and she wanted to know about Luke’s treasure hunting experience, only to be flatly rejected by the other party.

At that time, she still thought that this man was not atmospheric enough, but now that she thought about it, Luke’s last treasure hunt might also have encountered something that he couldn’t talk about.

For example, killing for treasure.

Perhaps, this was not the first time.

Lilith shivered, her body cowering in the bath, she disliked the feeling of being in control of her life.

Never again would she go treasure hunting, at this moment, she was homesick and wanted to cry even more.

No, I can’t just resign myself to this.

The fact that Luke didn’t do anything meant that there was still room for things to change, and she could still influence and change Luke’s decision.

For example, increase the percentage of Luke’s share in obtaining the treasure, and increase his favoritism towards himself ……

Half an hour later.

Lilith walked through the parlor and walked outside the cab.

The door to the cab was left open, and Luke heard footsteps and swept his stern gaze to the doorway.

With just one glance, Lilith felt her heart skip a beat.

Luke was tall and handsome, and Lilith kinda liked his appearance, but that wasn’t why her heart was racing.

Luke also sized up Lilith, who had changed into a pink, sleeveless dress with a shapely figure and a pair of long, snow-white legs that were exposed.

“Can I help you?”

“Is Glasses Girl not here? I’m looking for her for a drink.”

Luke shrugged and teased, “She’s probably in her room fixing the satellite phone.”

Lilith “……”

Is it too late to leave?

Lilith took a deep breath, secretly cheering herself up as her body slumped against the door of the cab, “Would you like a drink?”

“Why not?”

The two entered the parlor, Luke sitting on the fluffy couch as Lilith walked over to the bar and grabbed two red wine glasses and a bottle of red wine.

“Although the local rum is very distinctive, I still like red wine.” Lilith poured two glasses of red wine and handed one to Luke, “The first one celebrates our success in finding the treasure.”

Luke clinked his glass with the other, “Cheers!”

Luke wanted to drink half a glass, but seeing Lilith drink it all, he followed suit.

Lilith poured two more glasses of red wine and clinked glasses with Luke, “Second glass, I want to thank you.

Today Elsa Marin ……” Lilith showed a sad look, “I don’t want to mention her anymore.

I just want to say that it’s fortunate that you arrived in time, otherwise, I might have …… been buried somewhere on an uninhabited island by now.”

After saying that, Lilith once again finished her drink.

Luke laughed, “Are you trying to get me drunk?”

“No, I just don’t know how to express my gratitude to you.

I was being held at gunpoint by the tattooed man and was in despair, thinking I was going to die.

You showed up just in time like a superhero and killed the bad guy.

Wow, you were super handsome in that moment.”

The two sat close enough that Luke could faintly smell the faint scent of perfume and teased, “So did you fall for me?”

“Honestly?”

“Sure.”

“For a moment there was a real urge to fall in love with you.” Lilith wasn’t lying about being attracted to the tough guy in front of her in that moment.

Many women had a deep-seated admiration for powerful men.

Under the light, Lilith’s white cheeks were slightly red, her delicate features appeared even more delicate, and it had to be said that this chick’s body looks and temperament was very much in line with Chinese aesthetics.

The two of them looked at each other, the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Luke slowly approached, his left hand wrapped around her thin waist, and he couldn’t help but kiss her red lips.

Lilith froze, instinctively trying to dodge, but was intercepted by Luke to pick up and put on his lap, his big hand reached into the dress, caressing the plumpness, making her body soft.

She stared at her big watery blue eyes, this script is not developing right ah ……
