The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 279 She's the Person Who Saved You

Before the giant helicopter took off, Eric stood on it, facing the chilly breeze and looking at the pirate captain below.

He enunciated the words clearly and coldly, "Fifteen billion dollars, three times the amount you asked for, has been wired to your account."

One person was worth five billion dollars, but he gave three people's worth.

It was not an ordinary kind of generosity!

The pirate captain was extremely surprised, and his dark hawk-like eyes suddenly flashed with a greedy smile.

This trip was not in vain.

However, the next second.

"Bang-"

At the sound of the gunshot, the slightly shorter and thinner pirate captain's smile stiffened. Everyone looked in shock as blood poured from the wound in his chest.

Eric's attitude was insouciant. He did not care about whether or not this move would anger the pirates.

His indifferent eyes were cold and gloomy.

Eric lowered the gun and looked at the pirate captain.

His voice was frigid. "This bullet is free for you."

No one could take Nicole's life. Someone had to pay it back for that bullet in her chest!

Three people, including the pirate captain, for fifteen billion dollars. No more, no less.

This shot made the relaxed situation tense again.

Everyone looked nervous and vigilant as they raised their weapons again.

However, the pirate crew's weapons and manpower simply could not compare to those brought by Eric.

More than a dozen giant helicopters hovered in the sky, surrounding them.

Dark shadows covered the sky, and dense air shrouded the whole island.

No matter how reluctant the pirates were, they could only watch as Eric's helicopters disappeared from sight.

Two thousand nautical miles away, on a huge ship.

Nicole did not sleep well on the wobbly sea.

In her mind, she was still hiding from the pirate attack. It was as if countless bullets were still flying overhead.

Under the rain of bullets, she kept running and running without end...

Suddenly, she lost her footing and fell into the abyss.

She shuddered and woke up with a jolt.

However, her head was groggy, and she was still in a state of semi-consciousness. She was unable to resist the heavy drowsiness.

Vaguely, she heard an unfamiliar voice talking outside.

"Eric, your girl's pretty awesome! Even under such a dangerous situation, she dared to point the gun at the pirates. She even wounded two of them! If not for the fact that both the pirate captain David and your nephew said it, I wouldn't have believed that... She's really impressive!"

Eric's lips curled in an imperceptible arc.

"She has always been this brave."

It was not Nicole's character to beg for mercy on her knees.

Back when her car was tampered with, her first reaction was not to cry, and when she faced the thugs hired by Chloe Snyder, she did not even flinch in fear either.

Eric knew that Nicole was a brave and proud woman with courage in her bones.

However, that had been a ferocious situation. If he had not arrived in time and his Nicole actually died in the rain of bullets, he did not dare to think what the scene would look like!

If that was the case, he would rather she not be so brave.

The military doctor saw Eric's gaze dim and suddenly thought of something. "Don't you think that she looks like that girl? The one who saved you when you were beaten up by those boxers in Europe before disappearing. By the way, I found a picture some time ago. She really looks like that girl!" 2

The military doctor scrambled to replace the photo, not noticing that Eric's face had gone white. Monstrous waves of emotions surged in his eyes.

The noisy voices were instantly silenced.

Nicole scratched her ears, thinking that the noise outside was from a dream, then fell unconscious again when it became quiet.

She did not know how long she remained in a coma, but she could feel someone holding her hand the entire time.

The hands were rough but warm, and the person kept chattering away. However, Nicole could not hear what was being said.

On the deck.

The waves crashed constantly on the sides of the ship, and the afterglow of the sunset scattered in the misty sea. It was already dusk. The large ship had been traveling at full speed for almost ten days and would return to Mediania in the shortest time possible. There were less than two days to go.

Maverick held Tigger in his arms, enjoying the scenery with a bottle of sparkling water.

When the sound of heavy footsteps came from behind, he did not look back because he was already used to it.

"Don't worry too much, Mr. Ferguson. The doctor said that Nicole is fine. The bullet just hit her shoulder."

Eric had lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and the somber aura on his body was even colder. Maverick's attitude towards Eric also changed greatly.
