Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!
Chapter 418: Tripartite Rescue

Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Tripartite Rescue

Beasts, when faced with danger, instinctively call out to their kind, warning them not to risk harm.

At this moment, the voice of the young merman sounded like a cryptic signal heralding the arrival of imminent danger.

He turned to look at the doorway where Lu Xining stood, his tail thrashing violently against the water surface, his entire being consumed by a manic frenzy.

Upon seeing the four villains who had previously hurt him, the young merman’s sapphire eyes turned jet black. He pressed his hands against the wall, swiftly maneuvering to hover directly above Meng Lai and Danrus. With a vicious strike of his tail, he smacked their heads, knocking them out cold onto the ground.

Yilijite cried out in alarm, "Danrus!"

Rexiva hurried over to check on the two men, worry etched into his expression. "Meng Lai! Wake up!"

The young merman did not spare them either, delivering deadly blows with his tail, sweeping the two away.

"Pfft!" The sound of blood spraying accompanied their impact against the wall. Collapsing from the wall, they landed coincidentally on top of Danrus and Meng Lai.

The two who had initially fainted were jolted awake from the impact, their opened eyes meeting the gaze of the young merman clinging to the ceiling.

"Experiment No. 13599! Have you gone mad? We created you!"

Speaking too hastily, Meng Lai broke into a hoarse cough, the sound echoing throughout the cabin. He could barely breathe, feeling his ribs fractured under pressure.

Upon hearing the cold, impersonal code they used instead of a name, the young merman’s jet-black eyes turned fierce, the hatred within erupting like a tidal wave. His massive tail swung toward Meng Lai’s chattering mouth with brutal intent.

The force was so overwhelming it could pulverize Meng Lai’s skull.

At the critical moment, Rexiva grabbed Meng Lai and rolled to the side, narrowly escaping the merman’s lethal strike. Meng Lai, now trembling with fear, dared not speak another word.

Seizing the opportunity, Lu Xining urgently relayed orders to the others, her tone rushed, "Wrap this up quickly; the ship might explode!"

She turned to the young merman and said, "Leave this to us, you go to the sea now."

The young merman’s gaze lingered deeply in Lu Xining’s direction. Having lost his ability to speak due to Lott severing his tongue in the later stages of experimentation, all he could manage were guttural "ho ho" sounds.

With one sweeping motion of his tail, like clearing trash, he flung Danrus and the others out the door and into the hallway.

The Chu Family’s remnants, along with Ji Muye and Shang Lvxing’s forces, had already dealt with the Royal Cruise bodyguards. They had been tied up and confined together.

On the otherwise silent sea, a massive vessel emerged.

At the same time, the sound of a helicopter echoed from above.

The giant ship was sent by the Blue Organization, a marine rescue entity Ji Muye had appealed to for support, while the helicopter was organized by Shang Lvxing for aerial evacuation.

Addtionally, the Chu Family’s old allies were approaching on another cruise ship—a vessel comparable to the Royal Cruise—gradually drawing near.

Three factions had prepared their escape routes.

A powerful searchlight illuminated the Royal Cruise, signaling the vessels nearby to slow down while launching four signal flares as a warning.

The authoritative voice of the Blue Organization echoed through the broadcast system, brimming with reliability and strength.

[We are the Blue Organization of XX waters. Vessels ahead, please slow down and prepare for inspection...]

Upon hearing this announcement, Danrus was the first to lose control of his emotions!

"How could this happen?! We clearly had the upper hand! Impossible, utterly impossible for us to fail! Damn it! Just a little more, just a little more and we could’ve grasped victory! Why is fate so cruel?!"

He turned his gaze to the other three lying on the ground. After years of indulgence in luxury and women down in the cargo hold, none of them had trained—not the slightest—which had left each with a beer belly larger than the last.

They didn’t stand a chance against the young merman, who could crush them as easily as ants, let alone against Lu Xining, Ji Muye, and their equally skilled team members.

Without their bodyguards to shield them, the outcome of victory and defeat was fully sealed in stone.

Meng Lai truly felt the pain of his fractured ribs this time, unable to move an inch. As he glanced at his three equally wretched friends, a glimpse of hatred flickered in his eyes — a desire for mutual destruction.

Lu Xining had already instructed Cheng Cang to summon the Chu Family’s allies onboard.

She turned to the young merman, now back in the bathtub. His hands clung to its edge, and while his explosive power from earlier had been formidable, his gaze at her now seemed pitiably soft.

That pleading look seemed to say: Take me with you, I promise I’ll behave.

Ji Muye and Shang Lvxing were handling the evacuation plans, but they simultaneously turned to Lu Xining and said, "Come with me directly."

After speaking, they exchanged frosty glances.

The icy expressions on both men were equally unyielding.

Lu Xining’s lips twitched. "You two can go your separate ways. Whether we can even leave this sea is still uncertain."

Whether it was the massive ship, the helicopter, or a cruise ship—all options had to first escape the sea where the Royal Cruise was located. That remained the immediate priority.

Ji Muye, knowing her concerns, reassured her, "The ship’s bombs were being disabled by specialists I arranged since the moment I boarded the second time."

The latest intel confirmed that 99% of the bombs onboard had been successfully defused.

Ji Muye’s team was still searching for the locations of remaining scattered explosives. With specialized bomb detection devices in hand, no matter where Meng Lai and his crew had hidden them, they would be found.

Shang Lvxing frowned. "What I’m worried about is that the ship will explode before we find them all."

"Relax; the cockpit is currently managed by the Chu Family’s people."

Although Cheng Cang wasn’t as skilled in other areas compared to Ji Muye and Shang Lvxing, he knew what mattered most for a ship’s survival.

At the first sign of trouble, he had already coordinated with Lu Xining.

"If only we had a layout of the bomb placements on the ship..."

She had barely finished her thought when she felt water splashing onto her face.

Seeing that Lu Xining’s attention was drawn toward Ji Muye and Shang Lvxing, the young merman hastily slapped his tail against the bathtub. His massive tail, most of it protruding from the bathtub, looked enormous inside it.

Its sapphire hue matched the color of his eyes, and under the cold ceiling lights, its scales refracted iridescent shimmers.

The young merman uttered a few guttural "ho ho" sounds.

"Ho ho, ho ho ho." Take me with you; I promise I won’t cause you any trouble.

Watching his pitiful demeanor now, Lu Xining couldn’t help but think of her daughter, who would often approach her with soft and clingy behavior after making mistakes—resorting to adorable antics or pretending to cry to win sympathy.

In truth, her wide, tearful eyes often contained not a single drop of moisture.

The young merman’s current expression mirrored hers perfectly, causing Lu Xining’s heart to soften.

Just then!

Meng Lai, in a treacherous move, pulled out an activation device from his clothes, his eyes wild with madness.

"If we can’t live in peace, you won’t live in peace either!"
