If these words hadn’t come from Tawana’s own mouth, no one would have believed that a world-class superstar singer had faced a terrorist attack in a vacation paradise like the Maldives.
The world’s attention immediately turned to the incident.
Bernard Arnault also appeared in the livestream, filming the unconscious guests alongside Tawana while saying to the camera, “Miss Sweet and I are awake because they gave us an antidote, intending to extort more from us…”
The events that followed unfolded exactly as Ye Chen had planned.
After Ma Kui finished off his dead subordinates, he stepped in front of the camera and declared loudly, “Hello, everyone. My Chinese name is Ma Kui, English name Jack Ma, a mixed Chinese-Japanese Australian. Ten years ago, I joined the world’s largest mercenary organisation, the American Blackwater Company, and have been operating in the Southern Hemisphere ever since…”
In the video, Ma Kui detailed the incident thoroughly.
To bolster his credibility, as per Ye Chen’s instructions, he not only shared every detail of his time at Blackwater but also displayed his phone, showing his information on Blackwater’s internal app and the specifics of this mission.
He also revealed the true reason for this terrorist attack in the Maldives: to assassinate an opposition warlord and stage a terrorist incident to frame Blackwater’s biggest competitor, Wanlong Hall.
When Blackwater’s shareholders learned of this, they were nearly driven to madness. They never imagined that Ma Kui, whom they had carefully selected, would betray them so ruthlessly, practically pushing them into an abyss of no return!
They were capable of many dirty deeds, but the condition was that they could never be exposed in their lifetime.
They had thought this plan was flawless, but they never expected that Bernard Arnault and Tawana, two globally renowned figures, were also on White Horse Island.
Even more unexpected was that Ma Kui, for money, betrayed the organisation and even killed several of his own men.
After confessing on camera, Ma Kui dramatically produced a “potion” and had it passed under the noses of the unconscious guests. Miraculously, those who smelled it began to slowly open their eyes.
In truth, the potion had no effect whatsoever. It was merely Ye Chen timing the awakening of the guests from their induced coma to match Ma Kui’s performance.
For these people, it was as if they had just experienced a vivid, refreshing dream. As they opened their eyes, their paused memories flooded back, and everyone recalled the moment the terrorists stormed in before they lost consciousness.
Ma Lan was terrified, blurting out, “Please, all you heroes, spare this old lady! I’m old, I’ve never lived a good life, and this is my first time in the Maldives. I can’t lose my life here!”
Ma Kui hurriedly reassured her, “Madam, don’t misunderstand. I was indeed planning a terrorist attack earlier, but while you were all unconscious, I reached an agreement with Mr. Bernard Arnault. He’s offered me a generous sum, enough for a lifetime of comfort, and I’ve sworn loyalty to him. The Blackwater mercenaries I brought, except for a few loyal subordinates by my side, have all been killed by me. In other words, everyone here is now completely safe!”
Ma Lan asked in disbelief, “What do you mean? You’re not going to kill us?!”
Ma Kui nodded firmly, “No more killing. Thanks to Mr. Bernard Arnault’s generosity, I’ve chosen to pledge my loyalty to him alone from now on. You can all rest assured, you’re completely safe!”
