Chapter 272 Number One Jinx
Nicole chewed on the fish expressionlessly. Without any seasoning, she could not taste the freshness of
the fish.
The fish was washed ashore by the sea, and Nathaniel picked it up and roasted it over some dried
leaves.
Except for the salty and fishy smell, it was just bland and tasteless.
“I want to eat at that old French restaurant in the streets of Paris, coupled with a glass of white wine.
It’s simply perfection…” > Nathaniel ate with gusto. When he heard her words, he looked up at her and
came over with a smile.
a “Nikki, if you don’t want to eat, you can give it to me…” He made a move to grab the fish from her.
Nicole dodged and glared at him while guarding her food. “You’d better watch out! Or else… Tigger will
bite you…” To the side, Tigger bared its teeth at Nathaniel.
Nathaniel said tentatively, “If you’re bored, go dress up like the indigenous people. I’ll show you their
community.” Nicole immediately shook her head.
He wanted her to walk to her death just because of boredom? Just hearing the words “indigenous
people” scared her, much less dressing up like them! Absolutely not! The sky was cloudless, revealing
an endless stretch of clean and clear blue.
The sea breeze blew in waves. It was refreshing and natural. However, Nicole did not appreciate it at all.
When would her restless and thrilling days end… Just as she was immersed in her boundless sadness,
the sudden sound of a rumbling engine roar came from the distant sea.
Before Nathaniel could react, Nicole ran out to a spot with a higher elevation and waved at the little
shadow in the sea. “Help…” The speedboat got closer and closer, and the sound also grew louder.
However, before Nicole could be happy, Nathaniel pulled her and ran, his voice cold and resolute. “Hurry
up and run! They’re pirates.” Nicole’s expression turned fearful as she shut her mouth.
She picked Tigger up and started to run. 1 Nathaniel almost laughed in exasperation when he saw how
eager she was to flee. ) “Run into the jungle…” There was hesitation in Nicole’s voice, but her footsteps
did not falter.
“Aren’t those indigenous people in there?” “They’re much kinder than the pirates, ) at least…” That was
true! The two of them ran without looking back, determined and resolute.
The cold wind blew on their faces, piercing and painful They ran until they were out of breath but did not
dare to stop for a moment.
This was even more serious than the situation that rainy night! That was because they could hear the
rough footsteps and unbridled laughter behind them as the pirates fired a few warning gunshots.
It was like a savage and primitive game of chase, with them as the prey. Nicole’s fear had never
emerged so quickly. Every nerve in her body seemed to tremble in fear. Suddenly, she slipped, and her
knees slammed to the ground with a dull thud.
It sounded like she broke her bone. Nathaniel turned around and saw her biting her lower lip in pain.
He tried to approach her so that he could carry her. However, Nicole pushed him away and gritted her
teeth, standing up with her hands braced on the ground. She gave him a miserable smile. “Save your
energy.
