MainNovel866 Chapter 865
The sea was sparkling under the sun.
A private yacht cruised on the surface of the sea. Lewis and Keira stood in the cabin. Keira stared at the massive
yacht. "Is this yours?" she asked.
"Yeah," Lewis replied.
Keira couldn't help but exclaim, "You're really loaded."
Yachts like this one, capable of venturing into deep seas, were typically huge—far beyond what an ordinary
person could afford. The cost of this yacht alone could be in the billions, if not hundreds of billions.
Though the Horton family was powerful, they couldn't just casually buy something like this. Keira couldn't help
but ask, "What exactly do you do?"
Back when they were in Country A, there had been that pirate cove Lewis had taken care of. Could it be...?
Before she could finish her thought, Lewis smiled. "Mrs. Horton, asking this now? Isn't it a bit too late? You've
already boarded my ship!"
Keira froze for a moment, then chuckled, unable to stop herself.

Lewis suddenly stepped forward, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind. His voice was slow and
steady as he spoke. "When | was younger, my brother and father couldn't stand me, so | was kept in the old
house. When | got older, my grandmother feared they might secretly harm me, so she sentabroad. Those
years, | didn't exactly follow the rules. Instead, | built up my own power and made sfriends. Together, we
started a marittransport fleet. One day, we were robbed by pirates. | couldn't take it, so | hired some
mercenaries and led them to the island."
Keira's eyes widened. "You did something that dangerous?"
Lewis chuckled. "I was young and reckless, thought that since no one cared about me, if | died, so be it. But
things went better than expected. We ended up taking control of that pirate island. Eventually, we realized that
being pirates did bring in quick money, so we kept taking down one island after another."
Keira turned to face him.
The man was tall and imposing, his words tinged with a sense of nostalgia. But Keira couldn't help but feel a
pang of sympathy for him.
This man was so strong—strong enough that Keira often forgot his family... didn't love him.
Keira had grown up in a loveless environment, so she understood better than anyone how a life could fall apart
without love. But at least she had Jodie South's care.
What about Lewis?
He had only a grandmother who couldn't control her household, and the only help he got was being sent away
from that cruel family to a strange place.
If she was being honest, even Keira herself couldn't imagine being as strong as Lewis.
She tightly embraced him. "You have to stay safe from now on, because you havewho loves you. Don't put
yourself in dangerous situations again."
"I know," Lewis replied slowly. "I don't need to charge into battle anymore. Most of the territory in the sea has
been claimed."
He rested his chin on her shoulder. "Besides, | can't let our child be involved in something like this in the future."
Keira froze. "What child? Don't say random things..."
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she pushed him away.
Tpassed, and the yacht finally reached the deep sea, where they couldn't go any further.
If they went any farther, the South family's radar would detect them.
Lewis said, "Now, I'll take you over in a small boat. Keira, are you scared?"
Out in the vast sea, everything looked dark and intimidating.

The waves were rough, and the small boat looked even more fragile than the one the South family had sent to
pick her up. One wave could easily tear it apart.
Keira looked at Lewis. "You've call this way to risk your life with me. What do | have to be afraid of?"
She took his hand. "Let's go."
They boarded the small boat, and Keira noticed that despite its small size, it was well-equipped.
She was surprised. "This is...?"
Lewis grinned. "It's a small boat, all right. One big wave, and it'd capsize. So | made smodifications. At least
this way, we'll be safe on our way to the South family."
Keira smiled. "Got it."
Lewis turned to her. "Then sit tight. We're about to set off."
"Okay!"
The small boat slowly pulled away from the yacht, heading into the dark unknown.
But the boat didn't hesitate. It steadily moved forward, heading toward the direction they believed was right.
