Chapter 267 All the warships were mobilized
The sky gradually darkened, and the rain also intensified, mixed with the huge waves rolling over the
boats at sea.
Peyton sat in the warm cabin, feeling the unsettling sensation of weightlessness as the boat rose and
fell in the seawater. She didnât particularly enjoy this feeling, as it made her feel uneasy.
Kevin was very careful. He had someone decorate the room for Peyton in advance, almost identical to
her previous room style.
Dawn nestled lazily in the cat bed, sound asleep. The room was filled with a comforting aroma from the
lit scented candles, and soothing soft music played in the background to put Peyton at ease.
There were still some snacks on the table.
Peyton had no appetite. She held a book in her hands, but she didnât look at it for long.
Peyton paced anxiously in the room.
The boat came to a stop at this moment, which made Peyton even more uneasy. She put down her
book and was about to get up to inquire.
Peyton met Kevin at the door. Kevin smiled and said, âPeyton.â
âKevin, what happened?â
âItâs okay, Peyton. You were too nervous.â
Kevin could clearly feel Peytonâs restlessness and unease. He smiled and comforted, âIf you canât
relax, you can take a bath. I have prepared
some relaxing essential oils for you to try.â
Peyton, however, shook his head. âWhy did the boat stop? We havenât left yet, right?â
âDonât worry. The coast guard is on a mission. They usually inspect for smuggling and drug trafficking.
As long as we cooperate with the inspection, we will be cleared to proceed quickly.â
Kevin gently rubbed Peytonâs head. âWe came out. Nolan couldnât find you.â
Peyton felt as if Kevin was not just a younger brother, but a trustworthy older brother, due to Kevinâs
gentle expression.
Peyton suddenly remembered that Kevin seemed to be a year younger than her, but he didnât have a
trace of childishness.
âKevin, you were just a student, how come you werenât afraid at all?â
Peyton even felt that Kevin must have gone through a lot of hardships to be tempered into the calm
person he is today.
Kevin didnât hide anything. âI was sent abroad at such a young age, and I did go through a lot of
hardships. Moreover, I am well aware of my situation, and I canât rely on anyone. Itâs not as safe as it is
in my home country, so I made a lot of friends, both good and bad, and thatâs how I found the path to
becoming a mercenary.â
Peyton stared at Kevin earnestly. âYou suffered.â
âItâs nothing, at least he didnât mistreat me financially, so I canât say I suffered. Peyton, just sit down and
have something to eat, take a shower and get a good nightâs sleep. Tomorrow weâll be out at sea.â
âOkay.â

Kevin glanced at his phone message. He thought, âNolan did come to find me.â
Harley was indeed amazing. He immediately recognized that the small ball was made by Peyton.
Luckily, I had already come up with a plan. Nolan, you can keep searching, but even when it gets light,
you wonât find Peyton.
Kevin averted his gaze from Peyton and gently closed the door for her.
Kevinâs gaze suddenly became sickly, devoid of its usual tenderness.
He thought, âPeyton, I finally got you after all the effort, and no one can take you away from me.â
More and more ships were forced to stop at sea, just like during a traffic jam. Everyone was
speculating if something big had happened ahead.
They wondered, âCould it be that the neighboring countryâs aircraft carrier was hit and sunk?â
âIs it still going to be war?â
Everyoneâs thoughts were varied. They were gazing out on the deck, with some even snacking while
watching the commotion.
More and more coast guard ships surrounded the area, and Kevin also started to feel uneasy.
Kevin thought, âAlthough Nolan stands at the top of the business world and itâs normal for him to play
some tricks in the market, he shouldnât be able to mobilize the coast guard to work for him.â
In Kevinâs mind, this was just normal coast guard duty.
But Peyton looked at the police boats with numbers on them, she had seen the sea island surrounded
by land, sea, and air police.
Peyton thought, âNolan was able to mobilize the coast guard, last time even battleships were
deployed.â
Peytonâs face turned paler as she saw one of the police boats approaching their vessel.
