The merman, my man novel Chapter 163

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 163

After the intense battle, I was tired and out of breath. I crept onto the floor and wiped away the blood and sweat on my face as I stared at them vigilantly like an actual beast.

The contempt and scorn that the men wore of their faces finally vanished and were replaced with shock as they looked at me. The looks on their faces were now much more tolerable than before.

But what was worse was that they planned to deal with me with their guns. Just one shot was enough to kill me.

But even if I could turn back time to ten minutes ago, I would have done the same thing. I couldn’t stand being abused by them. I had always thought that I could withstand their deliberate humiliation. But when it came down to it, I wouldn’t think twice before shooting all of them with a gun.

I then heard the sound of the safety latch being unfastened.

I was reminded that I should say something akin to begging for my life, but I couldn’t utter a single word when I opened my mouth to speak. So, I resigned to closing my eyes instead.

‘Alright, Linda. You’ve always been stubborn and hot-tempered, even when you were a child. You’ve got yourself in so much trouble because of this. Are you satisfied now? You’re sacrificing your life over this.’

“Wait, don’t shoot! Colonel Laura still has use for her! “ Just then, I heard Gary’s voice coming from the doorway.

I opened my eyes and saw Gary walk into the room. He looked around the room and saw the mess I had made. He halted in his step when he saw the guy whose nose I broke and had only a few teeth left in his mouth. Gary looked up at me in shock like he was asking, ‘Did you do this?’

I straightened myself and narrowed my eyes, staring at him provokingly.

I raised my hand to wipe away the blood dripping from my chin. But I suddenly noticed there was something wrong with my fingers.

A translucent membrane had grown in the spaces between my fingers, just like a webbed claw. The veins on the back of my hand protruded. I was so shocked that I immediately put my hands down and closed my fingers together.

“What? I still have value to you? My dear professor Gary, “ I said sarcastically as I glared at him while pretending to be calm. But in reality, I was terrified. I was worried that the upcoming changes would be more extreme. If my legs were to suddenly turn into a fishtail or if I suddenly got into heat again, I would be done for.

‘Good Lord, please protect me. Please don’t let it happen again!’

“Bring her here right now! Immediately! “ The sharp voice of a woman reached my ears from Gary’s walkie-talkie, breaking the silence in the room. The voice had also shifted Gary’s attention away from me as he finally cast his eyes away with a complicated expression. Then, he signaled the men to put their guns down.

He gave me an oversized shirt to cover up my wet body then took me to the other side of the ship.

I was taken below deck through a flight of stairs. This area looked more heavily guarded than above. It could also be said that the cabins below deck were like an impenetrable cage.

‘Oh my goodness ! What am I looking at down here?! ‘

A large glass tank was installed on each side of the cabin below deck. The top of the tanks was covered with large metal nets. Through the gaps in the nets, I spotted several merpeople being confined solitarily.

I looked at the merpeople in shock. Some of them were male and others female. They stuck their heads against the glass as they stared at the humans who had imprisoned them in fear and despair. As I looked into their eyes, I felt like a claw was clenching my throat, making me feel like I couldn’t breathe.

But I realized that Dicken was nowhere to be seen. ‘Where is he being held?’
