Mercenary A was on the verge of losing his temper, shouting, “Why hasn’t anyone mentioned the presence of such bodyguards around Gu Chen? If I had known, I would have doubled the bounty!”

Their concern wasn’t that the other side was difficult to deal with but rather regret over the reduced reward.

Despite Song Fan’s formidable skills, she was just one person. Over time, there would inevitably be moments of fatigue. When that happened, with so many of them attacking simultaneously, they were sure to capture Gu Chen alive.

Their target was never Song Fan but Gu Chen; he was the one they aimed to claim the bounty on.

So, they only dealt with Song Fan’s attacks casually. As for their teammates dying, it wasn’t a big deal; fewer people meant more money to share.

Just as Song Fan was wreaking havoc, Gu Chen joined the battle from upstairs. The mercenaries, like hungry wolves, aimed their guns at him.

Song Fan quickly pulled him inside and questioned him, “What are you doing here? Don’t you know they want to kill you?”

“I know,” Gu Chen said firmly, looking at Song Fan. “But I can’t stay away while you’re here.”

Song Fan, with no other choice, could only vent her frustration by hitting him before they faced the mercenaries together.

The mercenaries, only fixated on the bounty, intensified their attacks.

Even with Song Fan’s skills, it was a bit challenging. The commotion was enough for all passengers to know that something was wrong. Song Fan took out the explosives she had obtained earlier and threw them out.

The mercenaries hadn’t expected her to use explosives. Being on a cruise ship in motion, a slight mistake could lead to everyone’s death.

Even they, as mercenaries, weren’t that ruthless. The leader, now wary, said, “Forget about Gu Chen for now. Killing that woman is the top priority.” His loud declaration made Gu Chen instinctively shield Song Fan.

“You don’t have to worry about me. According to the timing, my people should be arriving soon,” Song Fan said, loading her gun.

Indeed, right after she spoke, the sound of a helicopter could be heard. People dressed in full gear descended with a rope ladder and landed on the deck. “Asina! Asina!” they shouted as they approached, holding guns.

Song Fan responded, “I’m here!”

Those people, armed with guns, rushed forward. The mercenaries could only retreat as they were unable to withstand the onslaught. However, Song Fan knew that these people wouldn’t give up; they were merely the vanguard, and more reinforcements would follow.

Xiao Lei and Xia Rui arrived at this moment, astonished as they watched these people respectfully interact with Song Fan. They handed her equipment and offered the latest guns.

Song Fan allowed them to busily work around her. Upon looking at the Desert Eagle in her hand. “Unfortunately, it’s not my preferred one.”

A handsome guy with blue eyes spoke, “Dear Asina, we couldn’t get guns from your place.”

“Sasha, I’m just venting,” Song Fan said with a smile. “Has everyone on the ship evacuated?”

Sasha nodded. “They are gradually evacuating. For those unwilling to leave, we found a way to convince them.”

He didn’t mention that some were coerced at gunpoint. After all, these people believed the situation would be resolved quickly and didn’t think the entire ship would be in danger.

Anyway, they weren’t exactly good people; achieving their goal was all that mattered, and there was no need to worry about the process.

Xiao Lei and Xia Rui widened their eyes in amazement. They hadn’t expected Song Fan to be so resourceful, considering this was a large cruise ship with over six thousand people.

They quickly ran to the side of the ship to look outside and were surprised to see a similarly sized cruise ship anchored nearby, perfectly capable of transferring these people.

Both of them were at a loss for words. They didn’t believe this was orchestrated by the Song family. Even if the Song family had the money, it wasn’t feasible to immediately procure another cruise ship. Moreover, judging by the attitudes of these people, it was evident that Song Fan was their leader.

Song Fan intended for these people to withdraw completely, indicating a willingness to resort to extreme measures. Judging by her actions with the explosives earlier, it seemed that the safety of this cruise ship was in jeopardy.

Xiao Lei and Xia Rui were once again astonished, realizing that Song Fan, regardless of being the Song family heiress or not, was someone they could regard as an equal.

When Song Fan turned to see them, she remembered to send some people away, pointing at them. “Take these people with you.”

Xiao Lei and Xia Rui shook their heads. “We can’t leave. We can’t just leave you two stranded on this ship.”

“You two take Gu Chen and Su Yang and leave together. I’ll focus on dealing with those mercenaries,” Song Fan said as she put on safety goggles..
