With her father under investigation, Josephine lost her usefulness. Josie disappeared, leaving Arnold with only one card left to play – Wayne and the ship.

Mark advanced, but Arnold raised his gun toward him. “My ship’s sniper isn’t just for show. Are you really not afraid?”

“Kid,” Mark began, his eyes narrowing with a sense of nostalgia. “When I was your age, I’ve been through situations far more perilous than this. And yet, I survived. What I’m facing now is child’s play in comparison.” As he spoke, his gaze subtly shifted toward the corner window, a glint of something unreadable in his eyes.

Although he had aged, his eyesight remained sharp, allowing him to gaze into a pair of eyes that mirrored his own.

Despite his surprise, Mark managed to keep his composure, revealing only a slight smile and a barely perceptible shake of his head.

In a moment of distraction, no one noticed the ruthless glint that flashed across Arnold’s eyes. He aimed his gun directly at the mast of Mark’s ship and fired. The boat rocked violently, startling everyone. Without wasting a second, they shielded Mark behind them.
