The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 80

I quickly got up from behind Dicken and stood between them regardless of my loosened clothes. I

pretended to sound calm and said, “Hey guys, listen to me. The three of us should be on the same side

right now. So put your grudges aside until we have solved the problem of the pirates above us! “

I got no response in return other than awkward silence.

The silence frightened me. I didn’t know what would happen next.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and turned my gaze toward Gary. He leaned against the corner of

the wall with a deadly look in his eyes as he held the dagger. He was unwilling to accept that he was

the weaker party in this fight.

It was only then that I realized Gary was severely injured. After the fight earlier on deck, he should have

known how reckless it was to fight against Dicken. There was a massive gap between their strengths,

which made me worry that Gary would go beyond his depth and start another attack all over again.

But things were different for Dicken. It couldn’t be more effortless for him to murder Gary in just a split

second.

And he had good reasons to kill Gary. One of them was me; he had regarded Gary as an opponent.

Another was, Gary had attacked him with a tranquilizer gun more than once. I could not underestimate Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

how long the beast would hold a grudge.

Although Gary tried to infringe on me several times, he never wanted to take my life. I could not bear to

see Gary die in front of me.

Dicken suddenly lifted his fishtail from the water. It was clear that I was unable to control this situation.

He obviously did not want to listen to me at all. His sharp tail fin looked just like a machete. He raised

his tail in the air and aimed it at Gary’s head. Gary could no longer run due to his severe injuries. He

only managed to dodge the attack. A strong wave followed after and hit him against the wall. Dicken

again struck his tail towards the direction where Gary was leaning, and I knew Gary would surely die

immediately if the tail struck him this time!

“Wait a minute! “ I jumped on Dicken’s body amidst the hurry. I embraced Dicken tightly from behind

and shouted, “Stop it! Dicken! Don’t do it!“

Dicken stopped.

A low and hoarse voice spread across his body and reached my ears, “Wh…Why?“

I was stunned. I did not expect Dicken to hear me and actually stop attacking.

The current situation caught me by surprise. I clutched tightly onto Dicken’s waist instinctively and

didn’t let go of my arms. I was afraid that he would murder Gary as soon as I let go of him.

A shameful thought popped up in my mind in my panic. But this was probably the only way to calm

Dicken down. So I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth and said, “Because…because…I am yours… I

don’t belong to Gary, so you don’t need to kill him! “

Although I had already thought about saying this, I got goosebumps when they came out of my mouth.

I was really thick-skinned to be able to say such a shameful sentence. I should have cut off my tongue!

But it worked! Dicken had begun to relax his muscles and withdraw his tail that was on top of Gary’s

head.

He slid his fishtail back from the water and slowly wrapped it around my legs skillfully like before. He

wrapped my body entirely and dragged me closer to him.

Dicken looked at me condescendingly and raised his eyebrows as an unmistakable victorious look

appeared on his face. His thin lips grinned in a flawless arc. He then said something shocking.

“Prove…to me.“

“What? How?“

I stuttered. I was utterly stunned by his 18o -degree turn. I couldn’t keep up with his pace at all.

As soon as I finished questioning, he held my chin with his webbed claw and lifted my face so I could

look up at him.

Then, he lowered his head and leaned closer to my face as if Gary wasn’t there. He stuck out his

crimson red tongue from his lips and began to lick my cheeks. A pair of dark eyes stared into mine

deeply as if they were testing my sincerity.
