“Do I need a reason to come to you, Madame Krys?” The man’s hoarse voice echoed, each word feeling as blunt as a dull knife. “Heh, I heard you have precious gems here, and I wanted to take a look!”

Lina couldn’t be certain, but she felt as though Krystal was deliberately blocking the man’s view. Was she trying to protect them? It was hard to say for sure.

There was something cunning about this woman. If Lina had to say it, it seemed like Krystal was more interested in safeguarding her own interests rather than protecting them.

Krystal spoke, crossing one hand over her chest and propping the other up. The cigarette between her fingers burned slowly, exuding a sensual charm. “Justin, we may share this boat, you trafficking drugs and me transporting people, but we should mind our own business. Why bother seeking treasures from me?”

“It’s precisely because we share the same boat and have this chance encounter that whoever gets the gems should share them!” Justin patted her shoulder, a sinister smile spreading across his cunning face.

With a display of force, he easily pushed Krystal aside. As his gaze fell upon Lina, his eyes filled with hostility. He rushed toward her, gripping her chin tightly.

“Ah!” Lina was caught off guard, feeling as though her jawbone was about to be crushed.

Krystal was also taken aback. “Justin!”
