Chapter 1488

Anne arrived at a cruise ship as per the instruction she was given with a wooden chest in hand that

was dripping blood along the way.

She arrived at the main hall where there was not a soul. The ceiling was painted blue and

she felt so small and alone.

Anne looked around, not finding anyone suspicious, but she knew that the people from Tianya were

lurking in the dark.

"You arrived sooner than I expected.” A man appeared on the second floor, wearing the same mask

as the head of Tianya.

Anne stilled and lifted the chest in her hand. “Here's Anthony Marwood's head. Where is Yuri?”

The masked man commanded, “Open it.

“I want to see Yuri first.”

“Sure.” The man snapped his finger and a person was instantly dropped from the ceiling.

“Ah!” Anne jumped and hurried over to catch Yuri, only to notice that Yuri was tied on all her limbs

and was hanging from the ceiling.

Despite the distance between them, Anne could still see the pain on Yuri's face.

“Yuri!” She called out.

Yuri searched helplessly for the source of Anne's voice and found Anne in the end. “You...

shouldn't have come...leave.”

"What's wrong? What have they done to you?” Anne asked hastily.

“Can't you see?” The masked man asked, “Lower the ropes slightly.”

Yuri dropped for another two meters and Anne finally noticed that the ropes had pierced through

Yuri's wrists and ankles.

Anne's breath caught at the inhumane torture that had put Yuri through.

“Bast*rds! Rot in hell!!” Anne tossed the chest aside and aimed her gun at the fences.

The masked man hid behind one of the pillars with blood oozing from the wound on his

arm.

Bullets flew toward the pillar as Anne emptied the gun and shouted frantically, “Ahh!!! Come out

and face me!!”

"Why aren't you shooting now?” The man came out and stared down. “You can keep shooting. I'm

not against it.”

Resentment filled Anne's eyes. “What do you want? I've done what you asked! Release Yuri right

now!"

"Why should I do that? Doesn't she seem like she’s having fun right now?” The man teased.

Anne paled as she glanced at the pained expression on Yuri's face.

She refused to accept the fact that they had hurt her friend.

"What is it going to take for you to release her? I can do anything!”

Before the masked man could respond, Yuri muttered weakly, “Anne...”

“Don't speak, Yuri. I'm going to get you out. I won't let you die.” Tears scrolled down Anne's face.

“Just give up. I'm sorry, but I can't come with you now..."

“No!! You agreed! You can't regret it now!” Pain pierced through Anne's chest as she sobbed. She

turned to glare at the masked man and roared, “Let her go!!”

"Oh, my. How touching. If you care so much about her, why didn’t you kill Anthony Marwood?”

Anne panicked.

“That's not Anthony's head in the chest!” The man pointed at the wooden chest. “This just says that

Yuri isn’t as important as Anthony Marwood is to you.

“No...” Anne shook her head. “That's not true...”

She had thought that she would be able to fool them and rescue Yuri, but had never expected the

masked man to be so perverted in his ways of torturing Yuri
