Chapter 324:
Jayden and Baxter were locked in a standoff, exchanging blows and eyeing each other with killing intent, each
determined to overpower the other. After several minutes of this tense fight, Baxter grew impatient. As he
moved close to Jayden, he swiftly took out a sharp knife from his sleeve. Gripping it with both hands, he lunged
at Jayden fiercely.
“Jayden, go to hell!” Baxter yelled.
With his senses heightened, Jayden felt the dangerous shift in the atmosphere behind him. He quickly ducked
and countered with a powerful punch to Baxter's abdomen. The force sent Baxter reeling backward into the air,
and he landed with a loud groan as he spit out blood. Jayden then tackled Baxter to the ground. The knife Baxter
held clattered onto the floor with a sharp echo.

“You... you're supposed to be disabled! How dare you hit me!” Baxter exclaimed, his eyes reflecting his regret for
underestimating Jayden.
Baxter hadn't taken Jayden seriously at all, so he didn’t bring many people with him. He never believed that
Jayden could actually rescue Elyse from him. Jayden picked up the fallen knife, toyed with it, and asked
nonchalantly, “So being a cripple means | can’t hit you?”
Attempting to get up, Baxter was quickly subdued by Jayden’s foot, sending him crashing back down. Jayden
pressed down harder, and Baxter cried out in agony, coughing up more blood. With bloodshot eyes, Baxter
seemed to resign himself to his fate. He had lost to Jayden, and he knew his life would be over. Baxter burst into
laughter, with blood all over his face. He laughed enough and then said loudly, “You win! | concede. The mission
has failed. But do you really think you can get your wife out of here safely?”
With a smirk, Baxter took out a small remote control from his pocket and flaunted it before pressing a button, all
under Jayden’s shocked gaze. Laughing crazily, Baxter taunted, “It all depends on how fast you are. Let's see if
you can escape with your wife.”
Listening intently, Jayden heard the faint sound of water. They were at the bottom of the cruise ship, near a gate.
Baxter had blown the gate open.
Jayden'’s expression turned cold. He stopped playing with the knife, swiftly sliced Baxter's throat, and left him
lifeless on the floor. Dropping the knife, Jayden hurried to where Elyse was. He scooped her up in his arms and
went straight to the elevator. The power failed, rendering the elevator unusable. Jayden frowned. The seawater
was flooding in faster than he expected. He glanced down at the unconscious Elyse, saying in a resolute yet
gentle voice, “I will get us out of here.” After planting a soft kiss on her forehead, he hastened towards the
escape route. The sound of water grew louder. Jayden knew he couldn't afford to slow down; any delay could
mean death for both him and Elyse.
Meanwhile, on the deck, the people on the cruise ship sensed trouble. Tobin was urgently called to the control
room by the crew. The ship’s captain approached Tobin with a grave expression and said, “The ship’s hull has
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbeen compromised, and seawater is flooding in at an unimaginable speed. For everyone's safety, | must seal off
the fifth sublevel deck to contain the water.” Tobin reacted with dismay, saying, “We can’t seal them off yet. My
boss and his wife are still below; they'll be trapped.” The captain shook his head and responded, “I understand
your concern, but | can’t jeopardize the lives of everyone on board.” Desperate, Tobin pleaded, “Can’t you wait
just a little longer?” The captain paused before replying, “I can hold off for thirty seconds. After that, | must
activate the blockades, or all of us will die here at sea.” Tobin was at a loss for words. He pulled out his phone to
check the time. Each second ticked by slowly. If Jayden didn’t return in the next thirty seconds, could it mean
that... Tobin couldn’t bear to complete the thought. He instructed everyone to wait at the deck entrance, ready
to assist Jayden the moment he appeared.
But when the thirty seconds passed without a sign of Jayden, Tobin collapsed to the floor in despair. Jayden died
just like that. After ensuring the ship’s safety, the captain let out a sigh of relief. He then approached Tobin,
placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. “Don’t be sad. Sometimes fate is inescapable.” Tobin, still in shock,
muttered, “Mr. Owen is dead. Who will lead the Bayzee Group now?” “What? Now you're wondering who will take
over my company? That's quite bold of you,” Tobin turned around at the sound of Jayden’s voice, only to see
Jayden, bloodied and battered, stepping towards him with Elyse cradled in his arms.
