The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 105

Ivy shut her eyes. She desired to cry, but no tears flowed. She had considered it many times before. She had a lot of things she wanted to say before she died, but her mind was blank right now. The chipped-off rock fragments beside her scratched her hand, causing it to bleed. Old and new wounds mingled in such a grisly way that the original appearance was obscured. The footsteps in front of them sounded like they came from the mouth of the Grim Reaper. If there was only one bullet left. She'd have kept it for herself. She closed her eyes in despair after noticing the black muzzle of a gun out of the corner of her eyes. Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in the air, approaching from a distance at breakneck speed. It was dozens of massive helicopters covering the sky in dense formation. The pirates' gunfire ceased. They realized that the danger was not with the woman at this time. Rather, it was the unexpected appearance of these massive helicopters. Their muzzles shifted quickly to their new prey. The massive helicopters were painted in military camouflage and were packed with people. The soldiers slid down the hanging ladders with their rifles in rehearsed movements, quickly encircling the dozens of pirates below. So quickly did the situation change. As the well-trained troops approached Ivy, they exuded such a magnificent aura that Ivy lacked the strength to see who those people were, but she heard Vince's surprised cry. “Wyatt! Wyatt, Uncle! It’s me, your favorite nephew…” 'Oh, It's Wyatt Reed. He came!' Ivy fought to open her eyes. She could see the beach in front of her and the massive helicopter that was closest to her. The man was dressed in a black trench coat. His body was tall and well-built, and his eyes were terrifyingly cold. He stepped down from the dangling ladder, the raging sea behind him and the massive helicopter above him, his right hand clutching a gun. Despite the pirates and dangers lurking behind Ivy, he walked toward her without hesitation. TheBelonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

man in front of her appeared to be lacking in his usual grace and dignity. His wild eyes were filled with rage and murderous intent. As images began to overlap, Ivy fell into a trance. It was as if she had spotted her hero on the streets of Europe. Her entire body's strength, however, drained away, and her consciousness gradually blurred. He cried out her name in a hoarse voice when he picked her up and saw the gunshot wound in her shoulder. 'Huh... Even Wyatt Reed is capable of feeling this anxious,' Ivy thought. The next thing she knew, she was completely engulfed in darkness. The battle was bitter and confrontational as the acold tempest raged. Both sides were unyielding. They were not merciful like Ivy, who valued human life. Wyatt's party was no stranger to battlegrounds. A place like this only fueled their desire to win. Back in the helicopter, Sebastian snatched Ivy from Wyatt's clutches. She'd only been there a few days, but she was as light as a feather. Wyatt stood there, staring at a pirate who was shorter and thinner than the others. When the pirate rested, he was enraged. When he saw Wyatt take the woman away, the pirate was enraged. Wyatt was recognized by his sharp eyes. It was the pirates' captain! “Ben, you’ll scare my girl if you do this to her.” Wyatt's tone was as icy as ice. Ivy stepped on the pirate captain and held him as a hostage. With how much she humiliated him, how could he let her go so easily? He was hysterical with rage, gnashing his teeth. “Fuck her! She nearly blew my brains out!" Wyatt's lips’ curvature was cold and dangerous. “Is that so? Then you deserve it." 'My girl is absolutely incredible!' Angrily, the pirate captain pointed a gun at him. "I spared you a few years ago, and now you dare to return?"

"Of course, I do." The two sides squared off and refused to budge. The strong odor of smoke was washed away by the sea breeze. A confrontation was on the horizon! Because Ivy could not fight back, the pirates had one-sidedly suppressed them earlier in the firefight. Wyatt, on the other hand, had more manpower now, and they were all well-trained soldiers. They were fully armed, so the pirate crew had their work cut out for them. Nonetheless, they managed to hold their ground. They were a perfect match. The ferocious pirate's face twisted, and his hawk-like eyes narrowed. He told his men to put their weapons away. They could only negotiate for the sake of their interests. "Let's talk, Reed. Otherwise, even if you win, you'll be unable to leave the Atlantic Ocean. That woman hurt two of my brothers, so I must avenge them." Wyatt was deafeningly quiet for a few seconds before chuckling, "Sure. State your price." The pirate grinned, wild and free, and extended five fingers. He also directed his finger at Vince, who was hiding behind the reef "And that wuss. Double." Wyatt gave him a cold look and said, "He's worthless." Wyatt stood on the giant helicopter before it took off, facing the chilly breeze and looking down at the pirate captain. “Fifteen billion dollars, three times the amount you requested, has been wired to your account,” he said clearly and coldly. One person was worth $5 billion, but he gave the equivalent of three people’s worth. It wasn’t your typical act of kindness! The pirate captain was taken aback, and his dark hawk-like eyes flashed with a greedy smile. This journey was not in vain. However, the following second... The slightly shorter and thinner pirate captain’s smile stiffened at the gunshot sound. As blood poured from the wound in his chest, everyone looked stunned Wyatt’s demeanor was casual. He was unconcerned about whether or not his actions would enrage

the pirates. His uninterested gaze was cold and gloomy. Wyatt lowered his gun and turned to face the pirate captain. His tone was icy. “You can have this bullet for free.” Nobody could ever take Ivy’s life. Someone had to make amends for the bullet in her shoulder! Three individuals, including the pirate captain, for a total of fifteen billion dollars. Nothing more, nothing less. The relaxed situation became tense again as a result of this shot. As they raised their weapons once more, everyone appeared nervous and vigilant. However, the pirate crew’s weapons and workforce could not compete with those brought by Wyatt. More than a dozen massive helicopters circled them in the sky. The sky was shrouded in dark shadows, and the entire island was covered in dense air. The pirates could only watch as Wyatt’s helicopters vanished from view, no matter how reluctant they were. Ivy, who was two thousand nautical miles away on a massive ship, did not sleep well on the shaky sea. She was still hiding from the pirate attack in her mind. It was as if a swarm of bullets was still flying overhead. She kept running and running in the face of a hail of bullets. She abruptly lost her footing and fell into the abyss. She shuddered and jerked awake. Her head was dizzy, and she was still in a semi-conscious state. She couldn’t shake the heavy drowsiness. Outside, she vaguely heard a voice she didn’t recognize. “Wyatt, your girl is fantastic! Even in such a risky situation, she dared to point the gun at the pirates. She even hurt two of them! I wouldn’t have believed it unless both the pirate captain Ben and your nephew said it. She’s quite impressive!” Wyatt’s lips curled in an unnoticeable arc. “She’s always been brave like this.” It was not Ivy’s nature to beg forgiveness on her knees. Her first reaction when her car was tampered with was not to cry, and when she faced the thugs hired by Dolly Kinder, she did not even flinch in fear. Wyatt recognized Ivy as a courageous and proud woman with courage in her bones. However, it had been a tense situation.

If he hadn’t arrived in time, Ivy would have died in a hail of bullets, and he shuddered to think what the scene would have been like! If that’s the case, he’d instead she wasn’t so brave. When the military doctor noticed Wyatt’s eyes dimming, he had an epiphany. “Don’t you think she resembles that girl? Before disappearing, he saved you from being beaten up by those boxers in Europe. By the way, I recently discovered a photograph. She has a striking resemblance to that girl!” The military doctor rushed to find the photo, oblivious to the fact that Wyatt’s face had turned white. In his eyes, monstrous waves of emotion surged. The raucous voices were quickly silenced. Ivy scratched her ears, thinking the noise outside was a dream, then fell back asleep when it became quiet. She had no idea how long she had been in a coma, but she could feel someone holding her hand the whole time. The person’s hands were rough but warm, continuing to chatter. However, Ivy could not hear what was being said. On the ship, the waves slammed against the ship’s sides all the time, and the afterglow of the ship’s sides, the afterglow of the sunset, was scattered in the misty sea. It was already getting dark. The large ship had been traveling at full speed for nearly ten days and would return to NYC as soon as possible. There were only two days left. Ryan held Simba in his arms while sipping a bottle of sparkling water and admiring the scenery. He didn’t look back when he heard heavy footsteps from behind him because he was used to it. “Don’t be too concerned, Mr. Reed. Ivy is fine, according to the doctor. The bullet only hit her shoulder.” Wyatt had lost a lot of weight in the last few days, and his gloomy aura had grown even colder. Ryan’s attitude toward Wyatt shifted dramatically as well.
