Chapter 294: Brothers Everywhere
Marco had seized a cruise ship and fled across the sea.
But Saint Qing Island sent twenty boats after him, and his heart sank.
As Chief, Kidd was responsible for Saint Qing Island's security. He was also the only person with military vessels.
All twenty boats were torpedo boats. From a distance, they fired several torpedoes. Marco couldn't dodge them, and the ship became a fireball on the water.
Before the torpedoes hit, though, Marco had slipped into the sea. He stayed underwater and swam for all he was worth.
His will to survive was fierce. Who didn't want to live? Kidd's pursuit had all the signs of a shoot-on-sight order. He clearly wanted Marco dead, not captured alive.
Marco had endured humiliation for the chance to clear his name. In his eyes, the charges against him were a monstrous injustice. He refused to die under that cloud, with no one knowing the truth.
"I don't want to die. I refuse to die like this!"
Ignoring his injuries, Marco forced himself to keep swimming toward the island.
Luckily, before jumping overboard, he had found a breathing apparatus on the ship. With a small oxygen tank tucked against him, he dove deep and pressed on. Half an hour later, he crawled ashore in a secluded corner of Saint Qing Island.
His skin was deathly pale. The knife wounds across his chest and abdomen had soaked until the flesh swelled and turned white.
He had barely reached shore when he looked back and saw Kidd's boat heading his way. Kidd stood at the bow and spotted him at once.
"Fuck!"
Marco didn't dare rest. He scrambled up and ran.
"Luo Yan... Luo Yan, where are you?" Marco rushed into the port. Everyone he saw belonged to the Illuminati.
