“Go now!” Xavier shouted, visibly shocked by the unexpected turn of events.

However, he quickly recollected himself and started backing away, still using his body to shield Winnie. “Don’t worry about me. Just jump into the water!”

Winnie glanced at the bleeding wound on his abdomen and frowned.

“It’s useless to jump off now. We’ve already sailed into the high seas, and it’d be impossible to swim back to shore. Our only option now is to take these brutes down and seize control of the boat! Besides, you need to stop your bleeding. If you jump down now, you’ll die.”

Even if neither of us was hurt, jumping into the cold waters now will eventually kill us both!

“We won’t be able to overpower them,” Xavier muttered as his eyes fell on the deck below. “There are more coming.”

Sure enough, Winnie followed his gaze and saw another group of men heading toward them. “D*mn it! We’ve been too careless!”

“Listen to me and jump!” Xavier insisted as he turned to look at her. “Otherwise, it’d be too late once they’ve surrounded us!”

At that moment, Winnie did trust the man in front of her.

She believed that no matter the circumstances, he’d always find a way to get them out safe and sound.

For example, when they previously went to rescue Yulissa, Xavier whipped out two fake bombs he had prepared and scared the living daylights out of the kidnappers.

Alas, with the latter getting stabbed this time round, things weren’t looking as rosy as before.

Before she jumped, Winnie shot a last glance at Xavier. “My family heirloom is still with you, and I intend to get it back. You’re not going to die here, are you?”

“Of course not!” Xavier replied as he suddenly put something around Winnie’s wrist and gave her a shove.

In that split second, Winnie seemed to see Hugo stab Xavier again, and she could almost taste the blood in the air.

The next thing she knew, she had hit the water with a loud splash.
