Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail Quinn)

Chapter 837 Be Enemies When We Meet Again

Abigail observed Sage momentarily before holstering her gun. "Get lost. I can't stand seeing you anymore. I wish I could kill you right now!" If it weren't for Sean's predicament, she wouldn't have despised them so much.

With that, Sage left the room.

After an intense hour of combat outside, Chris burst into the room, his expression grave. "We're outmatched! They're too professional!"

Abigail frowned. "Even with our numbers?!"

"They're seasoned sailors. What did you anticipate?" Simond retorted icily.

Abe staggered in, clutching his injured shoulder as he delivered urgent news to Abigail. "They're coming again, and their fleet has grown. "I never imagined there were so many pirates nearby!"

Abigail took Chris' binoculars. "Cover me while I go investigate!" Abigail instructed Chris, prompting him to follow her. Meanwhile, Simond signaled to Sage, and the two of them accompanied Abigail outside.

With everyone providing cover on the deck, Abigail scanned the horizon through her binoculars, and a glimmer of hope flickered within her as she spotted Xavien's silhouette on one of the approaching vessels. A faint smile appeared on her lips. "They are reinforcements. Keep attacking the pirates!"

Hearing that, everyone charged forward with fervor. Even Sage and Simond had to join the fray.

As Xavien Summer arrived on the scene, he watched Abigail swiftly dispatching a pirate who had grabbed her before swiftly eliminating him with a precise shot.

While her marksmanship wasn't exceptional amidst the chaos, with Simond, Chris, Abe, and the other mercenaries protecting her, she remained unharmed.

"Attack!" Xavien immediately commanded.

His ship encircled the pirates' vessel and launched a relentless assault, eliminating all pirates who were hiding in the rear and leaving them devoid of supplies.

Three hours later, the naval battle slowly subsided.

Abigail lay sprawled on the deck, her breaths coming in heavy gasps. Xavien rushed over from his vessel and scooped her up. "Are you okay, Ms. Quinn?"

Abigail trembled slightly, her eyes clouded with red as she looked up at Xavien. "Did they really throw Sean into the sea?" NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Xavien nodded. "Are you here to avenge him?"

"Did you eliminate them all?" Abigail's sole concern was this.

"I believe so." Xavien wasn't certain if they had any remnants, but the fact that Abigail's ship, disguised as a wealthy merchant vessel, did attract many pirates. No wonder there were over a dozen pirate ships that night.

Abigail let out a sigh of relief.

As the thin mist dispersed, flames flickered around her. She gazed up at the starry sky, feeling as though she had wandered into a dream. Bewildered, she questioned whether this was reality or mere illusion.

"Did Sean lie to me? He didn't fall into the sea, did he? He's just playing a prank on me because he wants me to fret over him!" Abigail's gaze shifted to Xavien's face, tears welling in her eyes.

Xavien pursed his lips. He was hesitant and lacked the courage to speak. Abigail sniffled, remaining silent.

"Where's the chip, Mr. Summer?" Simond interrupted.

Abigail pushed Xavien aside, prompting him to stand up and face Simond. "We will hand the chip to you in due course. However, Mr. Graham wishes to know its contents and intended use. He is a law-abiding citizen and cannot be involved in anything that violates Eswadian laws."

Simond sighed. After a moment, he pulled out his identity card and handed it to Xavien.

Abigail focused on something that was written on it. After Xavien was done examining it, he handed the chip to Simond.

Simond gripped the microchip, looked at them, and bowed apologetically. "Ms. Quinn, I apologize for involving you and Sean in this chaos. I may be powerless, but I desire to return to Eswadia, with my parents as well."

A gust of sea breeze tousled Abigail's hair, causing the hair tie holding her hair in place to snap suddenly. Her hair fluttered in the wind as she observed him silently.

"They can finally rest in peace now." Simond put on a faint smile.

"From this moment forward, if I ever cross paths with you abroad, I won't simply let you slip away. You must only spend the rest of your life in Eswadia," Abigail declared coldly.

Simond offered no reply as he turned to leave.

Abigail joined Xavien on his ship. After paying the mercenaries, she and Xavien departed for the site where Sean had encountered his mishap.

"Do we still need to search this area?" Xavien asked.

With a serious expression, Abigail paused briefly before responding, "Let's search this area for a week. We'll head back to New Yoke if we don't find anything. We have to rescue Luna, too, don't we?"

Xavien nodded with a grave expression. "I worry that the pirates might return."

"Well, I'm not. They've suffered a heavy blow this time." Abigail attempted to appear calm.

The ship advanced slowly. As Abigail kept a close eye out, everything went dark all of a sudden. She lost consciousness entirely.
