Chapter 274: Chapter 274

Trevor immediately drove the car forward there. The car sped all the way to the southern suburbs.

Annalise’s fingers were still tapping on the keyboard as she continued to crack Julian’s location. Now that Samuel had been kidnapped, she was afraid that Julian was really in danger.

It was half an hour later. Annalise suddenly couldn’t take it anymore. She covered her mouth and forced herself to hold it in. She said to Trevor, “Stop the car.” Trevor immediately stopped the car by the side of the road. Annalise quickly pushed open the car door and vomited. She wiped her mouth with a tissue and opened a bottle of mineral water. Trevor said, feeling sorry for her, “Annalise, you don’t have to go. Just tell me the location and I’ll go save Old Mr. Parks.” “It’s okay. I can do it!” Annalise perked herself up. She felt so terrible because of the reaction of pregnancy, with the baby kicking her belly all the time. Normally, she would have no problem taking the car.

Thinking of her past days of drag racing, Annalise said, “Trevor, I’ll drive.” Trevor said, frowning subconsciously, “But you don’t look good.” Trevor had heard that people who were carsick felt better when they drove themselves. However, he was worried that she would feel more uncomfortable since her complexion was so pale. “It’s okay. Driving might make me feel better,” Annalise said. “Alright!”

Trevor replied. He switched seats with Annalise. Annalise asked Trevor to continue calling Julian.

Annalise drøve as fast as she could. Trevor was shocked. She drove even faster than Julian.

Trevor immediately grabbed the armrest and reminded Annalise, “Annalise, can you drive slower?” “It’s alright. This speed is fine.” They were in the suburbs with few cars on the road, so driving at such a speed wouldn’t be a problem. Trevor finally got through to Julian. He was overjoyed and put on speakerphone. “Julian, what’s the situation on your side?” Julian asked first, “How’s the company? Is everything alright? You don’t have to worry about anything else. Protect Annalise and don’t let her out of your sight. Don’t let anyone hurt her or knock her…”

Annalise, focusing on driving, felt a wave of happiness flooding her when she heard Julian’s voice. She held the steering wheel and asked loudly, “Julian, are you alright?” Perhaps because the car was moving too fast and there was a problem with the signal, the phone was disconnected. Trevor was afraid that Annalise would be worried, so he immediately said, “The signal at Julian’s side is not good.

I’ll continue to call him. Drive slowly.” “Yes,” Annalise replied. She was much calmer than before. This was because she heard that Julian could answer the phone, which meant that he was safe. At least, he was temporarily free. Annalise would save Samuel first and leave the other things aside. She drove faster.

More than half an hour later, the car finally arrived at the location, an unfinished building in the southern suburbs. Annalise stopped the car. Trevor immediately said, “Annalise, wait for me in the car. I’ll go and save Samuel. Lock the door. This car is modified and bulletproof. As long as you don’t open the door, it’s safe.” He was driving this car when they got out of Caretech Pharmaceutical Company. He took out a walkie-talkie from the car and handed it to Annalise. “Annalise, take the walkie-talkie. If you have any questions, tell me immediately.” This was more convenient than making a phone call for a short distance communication.

“I’ll go with you. We can take care of each other,” Annalise said. “Annalise, you’re safer in the car, Trevor insisted. Annalise said, “Don’t worry. I’m good at fighting.” If she didn’t have any skills, Annalise would choose to stay in the car so as not to be a burden for Trevor. “But you’re pregnant now. Your situation is special,” Trevor said. “It’s alright. The baby’s condition is very stable. We’re here to save Samuel, but it’s not necessary for us to fight. Kidnappers usually ask for money. We can negotiate and give them money,” Annalise said.

Although she vaguely felt that this was not an ordinary kidnapping and that there might be a huge conspiracy, Annalise still hoped that it could be resolved through negotiation. Even if the negotiation didn’t work out, more hands made light work. In particular, given that the kidnappers were in the dark and they were exposed, it was very likely for them to be stabbed in the back. The two of them working together could observe a wider area. “Okay.” Trevor could only agree. He and Julián were from the same sect, and their master was Todd Edmund. Trevor was a match for dozens of ordinary men at once. The two of them walked towards the unfinished building.

The unfinished building, 18th floor. The woman in the black butterfly-shaped mask stood in front of the building and looked down. When she saw Trevor and Annalise getting out of the car, a cold glint flashed across her eyes and her lips curled into a cold smile. She was surprised that Annalise was fearless and actually dared to come. Moreover, Annalise came so quickly. Most importantly, Annalise had rushed over without asking for her address.

Come to think of it, she realized that Annalise had quite a wide network. She probably knew a relatively famous hacker who had cracked the phone’s location. Since Annalise came on her initiative, the woman decided not to show any mercy. She turned around and coldly ordered the blond mercenaries behind her, “When they come up later, kill that woman immediately.” “Okay,” the mercenaries replied in unison. The woman frowned slightly and reminded the mercenaries, “Don’t underestimate the man beside her. He’s very strong.” “Haha!” “Hahaha!” The mercenaries laughed out loud. The weak man downstairs was strong?

They thought they could crush him with their size. “Don’t underestimate him!” the woman hissed.

“Okay!” the mercenaries replied with a casual air. “We’ll take this slow,” said Trevor, afraid that Annalise could not make it. “I’m fine!” Annalise said softly. When they climbed the stairs, they kept close to the wall, trying to make themselves as invisible as possible. They walked quietly. Trevor was wearing a windbreaker and soft-soled boots. Taking light steps wouldn’t make a sound. Annalise was wearing a down jacket and sneakers, which were lightweight. They crept upstairs, quiet as a mouse.

Trevor was always in front. His eyes were like an eagle’s as he scanned the area above him. He was on guard at all times. As long as something happened, he would protect Annalise immediately. The two of them climbed up step by step. The higher they went, the more vigilant they became. They made it to the tenth floor, the fifteenth floor, and the sixteenth floor… The higher they went, the slower they were.

They held their breath and pricked up their ears to listen for any movements. However, they did not hear any voices at all. They kept creeping their way upstairs. They reached the eighteenth floor.

Suddenly, they heard footsteps.

Trevor immediately stood in front of Annalise. Five blond men surrounded him in unison. All of them laughed mockingly. “Uh-oh.” “You can’t even protect yourself, yet you still want to protect the woman?”

“Haha!” The few mercenaries spoke in a mocking tone, making one feel uncomfortable. A mercenary suddenly raised his middle finger and scolded in disdain, “Weak man.” Trevor ignored their insults. He had heard such insults many times. It could be said that he had heard them since he was young.

Towards his enemies, he had always shown his real strength. He whispered to Annalise, “Annalíše, stay away from them later. Don’t fight them head-on. I got this.”
