Chapter 506

However, Joshua reacted swiftly and blocked him. Yerick used this moment to swiftly distance himself

from Joshua, breaking free of his control.

Right at that moment, Cynthia aimed the gun she had snatched earlier at Yerick. “Make another move,

and I won’t hesitate to shoot!!

Upon her threat, everyone around her pointed their guns at her and Joshua. Cynthia had always known

that Yerick was skillful and full of trickery. Otherwise, their small team would not have suffered such a

loss at his hands.

“Do you think you can threaten me? After you shoot me, they’ll shoot you.” Yerich seemed unfazed.

Maintaining her aim at him, Cynthia pulled Joshua behind her. Only when she touched him did she

understand what Yerick meant by Joshua having a fever. She felt the heat radiating from him even

through the brief contact.

“You can all me. However, you’ll die before I do. That means when you meet Dani in the underworld,

you won’t be able to answer when she asks if Joshua is dead or alive,” Cynthia began, understanding

Yerick’s mindset.

Yerick paused at her words. Cynthia continued, “Want to make a bet? Whether the island explodes first

or my people rescue Joshua”

“Don’t you dislike him?” Yerkk questioned, genuinely puzzled by Cynthia’s actions.

“Yes, I dislike him, but that doesn’t stop me from saving him, nor does it stop me from dealing with

you,” Cynthia said with detached demeanor. If she could, she would end Yerick’s life right there and

then. However, if Yerick were to die, many clues that Captain and his team sought would vanish. The

island would also explode.

“I will set you free if you hand Joshua over to me,” Yerick proposed, as though after considerable

thought. Neither Cynthia nor Joshua responded.

Yerick raised an eyebrow. “You don’t believe me?”

“No, I don’t, Cynthia replied succinctly.

“Then I’ll be your hostage. Tie me to the ship When you reach a place you deems safe, you can hand

him over to me. How about that?” Yerick voluntarily suggested, offering various solutions.

“Did you tamper with the ship?” Cynthia immediately became suspicious.

“Indeed. I’ve planted explosives on it. As soon as you board, it’ll go boom!” Yerick affirmed with a light

smile, gradually closing the distance between them.

Retreating a few steps, Cynthia warned, “Stay where you are!”

“Alright, alright, I won’t move. You’re wasting your energy. The moment you entered here, you’re

already dead, Yerick. replied, seeming obedient and leisurely chatting with them.

Strangely, Cynthia felt calm. She was relieved that she had not acted on the ship, or else Nadia,

Jayleen, and some innocent people might have been in danger. Staring at Yerick, she racked her

brains for a solution. Behind him, Joshua was also thinking and observing

Just when Joshua wondered why the others were still not here to help, he caught sight of someone

waving at him from below

cliff out of the corner of his eye. That very instant, he saw a glimmer of hope.

“Cynthia..” Joshua suddenly called her name.

Deeply focused on Yerick’s every move, Cynthia dared not loosen hier vigilance even for a moment. In

response to Joshua’s call, she simply replied, “Speak”

“Try not to die,” Joshua said.

Before Cynthia could even comprehend the altuation, Joshua grabbed her and pulled her off the cliff.
