Chapter 324 Flooding PW orIMI.col


    Jayden and Baxter were locked in a standoff, exchanging blows and eyeing each other with killing intent, each determined to overpower the other.


    After several minutes of this tense fight. Baxter grew impatient. As he moved close to Jayden, he swiftly took out a sharp knife from his sleeve. Gripping it with both hands, he lunged at Jayden fiercely.


    "Jayden, go to hell," Baxter yelled.


    With his senses heightened, Jayden felt the dangerous shift in the atmosphere behind him. He quickly ducked and countered with a powerful punch to Baxter''s abdomen.


    The force sent Baxter reeling backward into the air, and hended with a loud groan as he spit out blood.


    Jayden then tackled Baxter to the ground. The knife Baxter held ttered onto the floor with a sharp echo.


    You-you''re supposed to be disabled. How dare you hit me? Baxter eximed, his eyes reflecting his regret for underestimating Jayden.


    Baxter hadn''t taken Jayden seriously at all, so he didn''t bring many people with him. He never believed that Jayden could actually rescue Elyse from him.


    Jayden picked up the fallen knife, toyed with it, and asked nonchntly, "So being a cripple means I can''t hit you?"


    Attempting to get up, Baxter was quickly subdued by Jayden''s foot, sending him crashing back down.


    Jayden pressed down harder, and Baxter cried out in agony, coughing up more

    With bloodshot eyes, Baxter seemed to resign himself to his fate. He had lost to Jayden, and he knew his life would be over.


    Baxter burst intoughter, with blood all over his face. Heughed enough and then said loudly, "You win. I concede the mission has failed, but do you really think you can get your wife out of


    here safely?"


    With a smirk, Baxter took out a small remote control from his pocket and unted it before pressing a button, all under Jayden''s shocked gaze.


    Laughing crazily, Baxter taunted, “It all depends on how fast you are. Let''s see if you can escape with your wife."


    Listening intently, Jayden heard the faint sound of water. They were at the bottom of the cruise


    ship, near a gate.


    Baxter had blown the gate open.


    Jayden''s expression turned cold. He stopped ying with the knife, swiftly sliced Baxter''s throat, and left him lifeless on the floor.


    Dropping the knife, Jayden hurried to where Elyse was. He scooped her up in his arms and went straight to the elevator. The power failed, rendering the elevator unusable.Jayden frowned. The seawater was flooding in faster than he expected.


    He nced down at the unconscious Elyse, saying in a resolute yet gentle voice, "I will get us out of here."


    After nting a soft kiss on her forehead, he hastened towards the escape way.


    The sound of water grew louder. Jayden knew he couldn''t afford to slow down; any dy could mean death for both him and Elyse.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Meanwhile, on the deck, the people on the cruise ship sensed trouble. Tobin was called urgently to the control room by the crew. The ship''s captain approached Tobin with a grave expression and said, "The ship''s hull has been promised, and seawater is flooding in at an unimaginable speed. For everyone''s safety, I must seal off the fifth sublevel deck to contain the water."


    Tobin reacted with dismay, saying, "We can''t seal them off yet. My boss and his wife are still below; they''ll be trapped!"


    The captain shook his head and responded, "I understand your concern, but I can''t jeopardize the lives of everyone on


    Desperate, Tobin pleaded, "Can''t you wait just a little longer?"


    The captain paused before replying, "I can hold off for thirty seconds. After that, I must activate the blockades, or all of us will die here in sea."


    Tobin was at a loss for words. He pulled out his phone to check the time. Each second ticked by slowly. If Jayden didn''t return in the next thirty seconds, could it mean that...Tobin couldn''t bear to plete the thought. He instructed everyone to wait at the deck entrance, ready to assist Jayden the moment he appeared.


    But when the thirty seconds passed without a sign of Jayden, Tobin copsed to the floor in despair.


    Jayden died just like that?


    After ensuring the ship''s safety, the captain let out a sigh of relief. He then approached Tobin, cing a forting hand on his shoulder. "Don''t be sad. Sometimes, fate is inescapable." Tobin, still in shock, muttered, "Mr. Owen is dead. Who will lead the Bayzee Group now?" "What? Now you''re wondering who will take over my pany? That''s quite bold of you." Tobin turned around at the sound of Jayden''s voice, only to see Jayden, bloodied and battered, stepping towards him with Elyse cradled in his arms.
