Chapter 1515 His Final Accounting
As the churning waters rushed toward them, Selena instinctively reached for Raymond, but he was already pulling her against him as they plunged into the dark ocean together.
Mystic Prison sat as an isolated island with no neighboring landmasses—the perfect breeding ground for treacherous currents. The moment Selena hit the water, she felt a powerful undertow dragging her downward. Raymond, an experienced swimmer, fought against the pull while pushing her toward shore.
After ten minutes of battling the relentless waves, Selena could feel Raymond's strength beginning to fail. Tonight had already pushed him to his limits—orchestrating the inner island operation, then this desperate escape while perfectly coordinating with Lawrence and Walter. Now that K's forces were engaged elsewhere, they just needed to make it safely back from these waters to complete their mission at Mystic Prison.
A massive wave crashed over Selena's head, pulling her beneath the surface. Raymond's grip never loosened. "Selena!"
For a split second, she almost let go, but Raymond summoned his last reserves of strength to push her toward the shoreline. When she tried to grab his hand, another surge of violent waves swept over them, carrying him away.
"Raymond!" Selena waded several meters into the deeper water before someone rushed in behind her, grabbing her arm firmly.
"Any further and you'll be in real danger." The voice belonged to Richard, whose unexpected presence caught her off guard.
Richard swept her up in his arms, carrying her quickly toward shore. "Mr. Smith, Raymond was swept away," she managed, the recent ordeals at Mystic Prison making it impossible for her to call him anything more familiar.
Richard spoke rapidly into his radio while massive explosions erupted from within Mystic Prison. He frowned, instinctively covering Selena's ears with his hands against the thunderous blasts.
"Don't worry, Selena. Search teams are already looking for Raymond. Lawrence and Walter are still engaging K's forces, but K will likely retreat soon—the Perez family's greatest strength has always been naval operations."
Selena watched anxiously as several boats cut through the dark waters, clearly searching for Raymond. She was soaked through, her lips trembling as Richard draped his jacket around her shoulders.
"I'm not cold."
"Keep it on."
Selena fell silent, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the ocean's surface. Richard's assessment proved correct—K retreated quickly, recognizing that Lawrence and Walter's superior numbers made continued engagement pointless.
K immediately placed a call, his voice cold with frustration. "Where's Emilio?"
If not for Emilio's interference, both Selena and Raymond would have remained permanently at Mystic Prison.
The voice on the other end was emotionless. "Still in the torture chamber."
Just as the call ended, one of his subordinates approached with a report. "Sir, Mr. Blair has volunteered for additional punishment."
Emilio faced charges for betraying his superior and revealing the secret passage location to outsiders. Additional accusations included attacking fellow organization members—since K's entire team belonged to the same network. By helping Selena and striking against K, Emilio had effectively attacked the organization itself. Despite his personal dislike for K, they had never come to blows before.
The man's eyes glittered with cold fury as his subordinate presented an object—a Jellyfish Seal. "Sir, Mr. Blair says this is his final accounting to you."
