Chapter 27
Peter was still in the room, checking his belongings before leaving. “I’m going to surprise…”Suddenly, gunshots rang out from outside. The quiet atmosphere instantly gave way to screams and cries. The crowd descended into chaos in an instant. Some visitors fell and were trampled. Children cried because they were separated from their parents.“Everyone, stay calm!” shouted a guard.Guards in other areas addressed the people jostling toward the entrance. “Stay where you are! Follow our instructions!”A woman spoke over the loudspeaker, “Attention all cruise ship passengers! You are all expected to enter your respective cabins immediately to prepare for an emergency! Follow the evacuation routes! The ship’s crew will assist you all in reaching your cabins safely!”The woman kept repeating her instructions as the passengers grew increasingly frightened. The chaos spread to other parts of the ship. People were running around in panic. Small children still cried, and the women looked terri

“I don’t want to answer that,” the woman said, looking away. She felt the back of her waist and was startled for a moment.“I put your gun in that drawer.” Peter pointed to a small drawer on the left. “You don’t have to answer my question if you don’t want to.”The woman walked over to the drawer, took out a gun, and checked it. “I’ll definitely repay your kindness.”“Of course you have to repay my kindness, Miss. I didn’t help you for free. There’s always a price for everything.”The woman snorted in annoyance as she tucked the gun behind her waist. “I almost believed there were still good people in this world.”“The world is never short of good people. Unfortunately, good people are always being taken advantage of and exploited.”The woman immediately lowered her head, lost in thought.“You seem to agree with what I said, Miss.” Peter glanced at his watch briefly. “You can rest in the main room to recover. According to the schedule, the cruise ship will arrive at the port in about s

“That woman....” Peter hurried to check on her, glancing around briefly. The restroom seemed completely empty. Only a few of his bodyguards were standing guard outside.“This woman isn’t okay. She....” Peter found a gun tucked behind her back. “I have no choice but to look into her past. I have to know what happened to her.”Peter touched the woman’s hand and began to concentrate. A series of flashes of events rapidly appeared in his mind.“This woman fought with that fake doctor and nurse after leaving the art room. She... kept moving from place to place until she finally hid here.”Peter watched the woman while occasionally glancing toward the door. “This woman… needs immediate help now. However, if I take her to the health clinic, those people will come after her again.”“I actually don’t know for sure whether this woman is on the right or wrong side. But she still needs help. I also can’t draw attention to myself so those people don’t mistake me for her friend.”Peter immediately

The day went on as usual. Peter asked his guards about the shadow he’d seen the night before, but they found nothing and no one.Peter didn’t pay much attention to it and chose to keep himself busy with activities on the cruise ship. He came across an art exhibition.Peter stopped in front of a glass case. A large, old book was inside. “This old book is a copy of the original one containing ancient history. There’s nothing particularly interesting about it.”Peter touched his shirt pocket. “But this makes me even more curious about the old book that gave me the ability to see the past.”“I need to open the fifth page right away so I can communicate again with the man named Patrick. He must know a lot about me and my family.”The room wasn’t very crowded. People were focused on their own activities, examining the antique items and works of art.“Ah!” A visitor suddenly fell, drawing everyone’s attention to her. A woman lay unconscious on the floor.Peter was right in front of the woman

Peter immediately let go of the woman just as the flash of the event faded.“Who are you? What do you want to do to me?” the woman shouted.“I just want to help you, Miss,” Peter said as he took a few steps back.The woman forced herself to stand, though she fell again. “Don’t touch me! I don’t need your help either!”“I have absolutely no intention of touching you, Miss.”The woman glared at Peter. “Can’t you see I’m in pain? Why are you just standing there?”“You just said you didn’t need my help. You also don’t want me to touch you, do you?”The woman winced in pain, clinging to a tree branch. “Why did you....”“I saw you unconscious in these bushes, and I decided to check on you. I had absolutely no ill intent toward you.”Peter looked around. The situation was extremely quiet and still, in stark contrast to the bustling area under the stairs.“Alright, I’m leaving, Miss.”“You’re going to leave me here alone? Where’s your conscience?”“Is this how you ask me for help, Miss? If yo

“Everything’s fine, gentlemen,” Bianca said with a friendly smile. “We were just joking around. We’re old friends who haven’t seen each other in quite a while.”One of the guards replied, “We sincerely hope that all guests will maintain proper conduct while on this cruise ship for everyone’s comfort.”The guards returned to their posts. The guests went back to their own business.Ramon snorted in annoyance, glaring at Peter. “We’re not done yet.”Peter said calmly, “I never started anything with you, sir. Miss Bianca is one of the professors who used to teach my class. Our relationship is strictly that of student and professor.”“I don’t believe you, you bastard!”“I’m not asking you to believe me because your opinion—or even your presence—doesn’t matter to me. If you keep showing hostility toward me, I’ll tell my guards to deal with you.”Five guards began approaching Peter, Bianca, and Ramon.Ramon hurried away, disappearing into the crowd.“I’m sorry about what just happened, Peter
