At this time, the ship also gradually docked.
Adolph turned and strode out.
Modesty was looking at the sea; her face became more and more contorted, and stretched out her hand to grasp something.
She braced herself against the railing, and her body went further and further down.
Until you heard a poof, there was no sign of her at the stern.
A wave came over the sea and regained its calm.
On the shore, Stella and Darnell stood there until Adolph was in sight, and then she let out a breath of relief.
When Adolph came near, she said, "Did you see her?"
Adolph nodded. "Everything I wanted to say has been said."
At that moment, there was a loud whistle.
The cruise ship was docking.
Darnell said to Adolph, "Get her out of here and get back to City N when you can."
Stella pressed her lips together and her gaze fell on the ship.
She knew that Justin was meticulous and had been planning and arranging for so long, so he would definitely not place his final bet on Modesty.
So, he must have a backup plan.
Stella nodded gently. "Be careful," she said
Darnell said, "Clarence will be fine."
Stella smiled weakly. "You, too. Whether it's Clarence, or you, get home safe. Someone's waiting for you."
Darnell did not speak but ordered two men to follow Stella and Adolph, lifting his legs and walking towards the front.
Stella stood there for a few minutes before retracting her gaze.
There's only so much she can do.
Up ahead, it's their war, the Conrad family, the James family, the past grudge.
Stella said slowly, "Let's go."
They just left, the people on the cruise ship came down, looked at the broken wall, their faces filled with pain and anger, now their images are all gone, all yelled at Clarence to give them an explanation.
Clarence stood before them, his tone was indifferent, "What can I say to you?"
Someone shouted, "You started the New Coast project. We have hundreds of companies in it. Now, what do you want us to do? You can walk away. What about Us? We can't pay for it with everything we have!"
With one hand in his pants pocket, Clarence's expression didn't change in the slightest, "What makes you think I could walk away? I've also invested in the New Coast Project."
"You'd be lying to us with a half-dead Steward Group, and if it weren't for you..."
"What if it wasn't me?" Clarence looked coldly at the one who spoke, "Did I put a knife to your neck and forced you into this project?"
The person who was teased by him was speechless for a moment, unable to say a word for a long time.
Clarence continued, "I remember when I brought the Steward Group into the program, you used to insult me behind my back for splitting a lot of your profits, and now you're blaming me for using the Steward Group to trick you into joining the program?"
Justin continues, "I think you've been avoiding me by coming here early, trying to figure out what I did here, but you're disappointed. There's nothing left here but this stuff. The bomb was hidden in the cruise ship."
The crowd was stunned at the words, slowly all in shock and fear.
Justin smiled. "It was just an appetizer. What do you think our chances are of surviving the explosion of this cruise ship?"
This cruise ship had tens of thousands of tons of weight if the hull of the ship all had hidden explosives.
Then...
The tsunami caused by the explosion was definitely no less than level 10.
It would be a miracle if any one of them survived.
Justin was trying to take them all with him!
If Clarence had this idea, they probably wouldn't believe it, Clarence has a wife and kids, he's just going to destroy the New Coast project to get back at them, and he's not going to do anything crazy like that.
But Justin was different. He had been with the Conrad family for 20 years, and he never left.
He was a cripple. He was not happy. No one would care if he was dead!
Someone shouted in a trembling voice, "Justin, what do we have to do with this feud between you and your brother? Why should we..."
Justin said slowly, "There's no way. If anything, you all are in bad luck."
As he spoke, he looked back at Clarence and smiled. "I had something ready in Riverside City, too. Clare, do you want to say a final goodbye to the kid?"
Without waiting for Clarence to speak, he continued to himself, "But you will see each other soon, and there is no point in saying goodbye. Oh, and Stella too, you set me up, and it worked. But do you think she will open the box with her last hope?"
