Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 269

The waiter takes the dinner out of the car plate one plate after another and puts them on the table. The peaked cat on his head covers half of his face. Troy sitting not far away is surveying him. Suddenly, seeing the cuffs of the hand with which he is holding the tray reveals a sharp dagger, he shouts, "Robert, watch out!

“Snap!” As soon as Troy finishes his words, the waiter reveals who he is. Throwing the tray to the ground, he aims at Robert and intends to stab him with the dagger in his hand.

It is just a momentary thing. So Robert doesn’t come to his senses at all. And when he does, the dagger is already right in front of his eyes. Although he dodges with force, he is stabbed into his waist by the dagger.

Troy pulls out a gun in his arms.” Bang!” the waiter falls to the ground. He rushes to Robert, picks him up on the ground, and shouts his name, "Robert. Robert?"

Robert opens and closes his eyelids from time to time as he says with great effort, "I'm fine. Hurry up and hide. Our whereabouts have been exposed. There have to be accomplices on board."

"Hold on for a moment. Soon, we will reach the shore!"

Troy has inexplicable heartache in his eyes. Robert has followed him for so many years. And he surely can’t abandon him for his safety and security.

"I'm fine. Go, go..."

"I will not leave you alone!"

"If you don’t leave, there will be a possibility that we both have to die. if you go, at least, one of us can live. Think of Miss Karin. Think of Charlie Group. Can you die?"

Robert's face has gradually turned pale. He covers his waist with his hands tightly. And blood stains his hand, flowing on the ground everywhere.

"It seems that there are spies among the company's shareholders..."

Troy grits his teeth in anger, gets up, and quickly locks the door of the room from inside. After carrying Robert to the bed and making him lie down, he then hurriedly calls for rescue.

Originally, the reason why they didn’t bring any bodyguards with them was that he didn’t want to attract others’ attention. And it turns out that they are in the enemy's trap. In Troy’s opinion, the imminent priority is not to think about who the spy is but to think about how to escape a disaster.

The sound of footsteps comes from outside the door. It seems that a fight is inevitable. For some reason, at that moment, he especially misses Karin. It is probably because this scene is so similar to that one a few years ago.

"Stay in the room. I'll go and lure them away."

Troy tears off a bed sheet and ties it around Robert's waist to stop the blood from flowing there.

"No, it's too dangerous."

Robert grabs his hand and refuses to let him go.

"I will be careful. If I stay here, we can only be sitting around waiting to die. No matter what the situation outside is, remember not to go out!"

He stands up. Suddenly, he remembers something else. And he turns back and gloomily admonishes Robert, "If anything happens to me, take care of Karin and the child for me."

Troy has made up his mind. Knowing that the hope of survival is slim after going out, he goes out without a second thought. The way he sees it, if God wants to drive him to extinction, then it’d better kill him alone. He won’t implicate someone loyal to him!

Robert soon hears the sound of gunfire, screaming, crying, and fighting outside. He is anxious. But he can’t go out to help Troy. Tightening the wound on his waist with force, he barely supports himself to stand up. However, before he can take two steps, he falls to the ground. And he finally gives up. Based on his current situation, it will be good if he doesn’t implicate Troy, not to mention going out to help him.

Troy is surrounded by six men on the deck. And behind him, it is the ocean. Standing in front of six people with guns wanting to kill him, he faces a desperate situation. But he isn’t in a panic. Instead, he only coldly asks, "Can you tell me who sent you here before I die?"

"Sorry, Young Master Troy, please forgive us for not being able to tell you about who hired us. This is the rule of the gang. Breaking the rules can only make us die."

Troy laughs mockingly and suddenly shouts, "Nigger?"

Nigger is the boss of the largest gang in Zurich, Demon King Gang. He gets power across many countries around the world. According to the legend, he, who is ruthless, kills others mercilessly. And people from both the underground world and non-underground world fear him. Few people have seen him.

At this time, he suddenly shouts the name of Nigger, startling the six people indeed and making them all look back in unison. In the nick of time, Troy jumps into the sea behind him. “Bang!” A huge wave splashes in the sea. The six people know that they fell for Troy’s trick. And one of them roars, "Damn it. Shoot him!

“Pop… Pop… Pop…”

They shoot into the water one after another. Setting aside whether they can hit Troy or not, they won't stop the shooting until the bullets are consumed.

"Look, there's blood over there!"

A thin man points to the left side of the cruise ship. The other five people look over along and indeed see a large puddle of red liquid floating on the surface of the sea. With a glance at it, they know it is human blood.

"Haha, we hit him. We did."

They jump with joy. The thin man is calmer as he says, "Should we go down to find the body and carry it up?"

"No, the sea is deep. Even if he isn’t killed by the gun, he will drown!"

"What if he is saved?"

"Idiot!" One of them slaps the thin man, "In the middle of the night, who can save him?

A group of people clap their hands and leave the deck. Within less than five minutes, a yacht comes over. They get on the yacht and go away. The sea is as quiet as usual. So is everything. It seems nothing had happened.

Karin waits until one o’clock in the morning and doesn’t receive Troy's phone. She calls him directly, only to hear beeping indicating that there aren't any signals over the phone. She panics and rushes to dial Robert's number which is unanswered as well.

She instantly falls into a great panic and walks back and forth in the room for four hours all the time until 5:00 a.m., during which time, she calls the their numbers countless times, only to fail to get through to either of them. She can no longer go on waiting. Before dawn, she runs down the mountain and turns to Troy’s second sister Lily.

"Lily, quickly help me contact Troy. I can’t contact him. Something surely happened to him..."

Seeing her place face and hearing her incoherent talking, Lily soothes her hurriedly as she says, "Take it easy first. Say it slowly. What on earth happened?"

She quietly tells Lily Troy’s purpose of going to Macau. As soon as she finishes her words, she grabs Lily’s hand and says, "If something hadn’t happened to him, he should have called me last night. Quickly help me. Except you, I don’t know who else can help me..."

Karin's eyes are red. And her body can't stop trembling.

"Good, don't you worry. I'll call my friend from the cruise line and ask about the situation of the sea trip yesterday."

Lily takes out her cell phone and dials a set of numbers. After the other party is made through, she lowers her voice and asks Karin, "Which cruise ship did Troy take?"

Karin is confused for a moment. She shakes her head, "I don't know. He didn't let me go to see him off."

Lily frowns and says into the phone, "I'm not sure which class he took. Check it out for me. Call me back when you're done, okay? ... Yes, it is Troy… Good. Thanks, please..."

Hanging up the phone, Lily presses Karin's shoulders, "Now, it is useless for you to be worried about him. My friend will help me check it out as soon as possible. Let's wait patiently for the news. Troy will be fine."

The two of them wait for the whole morning until noon for the reply call. Lily picks up the call with hope. However, after hearing the result of her friend's inquiry, her face becomes gloomy.

Karin asks in alarm, "What's wrong, Lily?"

"My friend said there is no record of Troy boarding the ship."

"How is that possible? He left on a cruise ship!"

Lily ponders on it, "He probably didn't want others to know where he was going. So he left no trace that could be checked."

Karin sniffs and turns to run out, "Where are you going?" Lily pulls her back.

"I'm going to Macau."

"You probably can’t find him even if you go there now. Wait patiently for two days first. If there is still no news, I will think of other ways."

"No, I can't wait. I can't wait for one more minute."

Tears well up in Karin’s eyes. Now as she waits for one more minute, she feels like she is going to die. Something seems to be blocked in her chest, making her have difficulties breathing properly.

"Then wait for another day. If there is still no news today, it won’t be too late for you to go there tomorrow morning. I will personally go to the cruise ship company in the afternoon and ask if anything unusual happened to the ships that went to sea last night."

Karin ponders on it for a few seconds. And she can only nod and agree, "Okay."

Time passes by. And in the evening, the cry of Yuma suddenly comes from Ziteng Garden: "Madam, Madam, Mr. Robert is back ......"
