Chapter 1497

Anne thought about it. “If we go together, they are definitely going to be alarmed. We can't give

him the chance to be prepared, or Lucia will be in danger. Let me give him a call and see what he

says. We can decide what to do after that.” She grabbed the phone and dialed the number from

earlier.

"Anthony isn't here anymore. Just tell me what you want. Why do you have Lucia?” Anne cut to the

chase.

Though she knew that she was likely speaking to the masked man, she could not be certain if he

had captured Lucia himself or merely had his subordinates do it.

“Shouldn't you know what I want by now? I thought I was clear.”

“He is the father of my children. I can't kill him. Can you just spare me and give me another target to

kill instead?”

“If you won't do it, someone else will. Tianya will never stop until our targets fall dead.”

“I will come in exchange for Lucia. How is that?” Anne asked.

"You?"

“Yeah. I won't quit Tianya and I will leave with you. Just don't hurt anyone around me,” Anne said,

sensing the tension in the room rising as Anthony's expression darkened.

“Sure.”

“Give me an address and I will come. You are in this country right now, right?” She asked.

“No. Your colleagues are, though. Go to Roselle Street. There should be a phone in the locker of the

mall. Once you get to the phone, I will teach you how to shake Anthony Marwood off.”

“Now?”

“What's the issue?”

“I might alert Anthony if I leave at night.”

“I'll give you twenty-four hours, then. Don’t give me an excuse to change my mind,” the man. said,

before hanging up.

To avoid being suspected of anything, Arme did not place the phone on speaker and said to

Anthony, “I'm leaving in the middle of the night. You can't follow me, or they might

notice.”

“I'm not letting you out of my sight.”

“I don't want Lucia to die. First, Yuri. Now, Lucia. Who's next? Have you forgotten that we still have

three children? What if they target our children, too?” Anne wished that Anthony

was unaware of what happened so that she could act without hesitation

“Is this Tianya's way of doing things?” Anthony questioned sharply.

Anne froze, before considering his question.

Every time there had been a mission, Tianya would only focus on the target and had never targeted

family members. However, they had killed Yuri and kidnapped Lucia in order to kill Anthony.

“If this isn't their usual way of doing things, this man has something personal against me.” “You've

crossed Tianya?” She asked, as that was the only possible explanation.

“The only thing I can think of is taking you away. I've never encountered them in the past,” he said,

“have you seen the leader's face?”

“No. He keeps his mask on the entire time. No one on the island has ever seen his true face either,”

Anne said.

“This type of person usually has two faces, one that you can see and the other, you can't,” Anthony

said, “perhaps I've crossed the side of him that's supposed to stay hidden in the dark.”

“Maybe he is from Luton?” Anne suggested.

"He shouldn't know about Lucia, but it would make sense if he is from Luton,” Anthony said.

"If that's the case, we will need to be more careful. You can’t come with me, or they will realize that

something is wrong right away,” Anne said worriedly.
