1796 too late
after aldan brought lu wenjun onto the ship, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
when he heard patriarch fields reveal the truth of the past, he thought he was dead for sure.
he didn’t expect that in the end, he could actually turn misfortune into fortune.
not only had he managed to save his life, but even cyril was on his side, still believing in his uncle!
as long as he had cyril’s support and lu wenjun in his hands, today’s failure would only be temporary. he would return to the faires family sooner or later!
with this in mind, aldan turned around and smiled at cyril. ” cyril, there’s only us left now … you?! “
p
before he could react, cyril suddenly reached out to him and pulled lu wenjun away from his side while he was distracted by the pain.
aldan immediately realized that something was wrong. he quickly reached out and tried to snatch her back.
however, it was already too late.
cyril had come prepared. after stabbing aldan unexpectedly, he used his body to block the attack and pulled lu wenjun behind him.
the few bodyguards that cyril had brought along with him also pounced toward aldan at his signal.
“you … cyril, you actually …! you’re just pretending!”
aldan’s expression changed. he finally understood what had happened just now!
it was obvious that cyril had wanted to save lu wenjun by snatching him from his hands. when he thought about his earlier actions, it was obvious that cyril had pretended to believe him, but he was actually trying to numb him and take the opportunity to save lu wenjun.
cyril glanced at aldan. ” it’s too late for you to understand now. uncle, i’m no longer a three-year-old child. do you still want to lie to me with the same words you used to?”
“damn you, cyril! you’re actually pretending, you actually lied to me!”
cyril couldn’t be bothered to answer him. he reached out to support lu wenjun and prepared to take her off the ship.
however, he had neglected the furious aldan behind him.
seeing that he was surrounded by bodyguards, there was no way he could escape from the island. he could only wait to be captured. aldan’s face instantly became ferocious. he suddenly pulled open his coat, revealing a circle of bombs hanging around his waist.
luo chenxi and the rest of the people under the ship were stunned by cyril’s sudden betrayal.
before they could digest what had just happened, they saw aldan’s actions behind cyril, and their expressions changed.
no one knew when aldan had prepared these bombs. this was clearly a life-and-death struggle!
” cyril, be careful! get out of the way! quickly get out of the way! ” luo chenxi could not help but shriek.
patriarch fiers also shouted loudly, ” ” cyril, jump into the sea! jump quickly! “
cyril could vaguely hear the cries coming from below the ship, and he knew that something was wrong. he hurriedly turned around and was about to jump into the sea.
however, aldan’s actions were even faster. he had already lost all hope of surviving, so he simply took out the bomb tied to his waist, pulled it with force, and detonated it.
cyril could only feel a violent force coming from behind him.
in this critical moment, he only had time to throw himself on the ground and protect lu wenjun.
the shrapnel pierced into his back, and blood gushed out. a few seconds later, cyril lost consciousness.
