Chapter 1315
Tommy said calmly, “Anthony was checking on Lucas, and he found that Lucas was on the plane.”
Now that Anthony was fine, Anne was nervous and afraid.
Under the sunlight, her face appeared pale.
“It won’t be easy for him to find out,” Tommy comforted Anne.
However, Anne was not that optimistic.
After all, Anthony was shrewd and unpredictable, so who could guess his thoughts?
The logistics company was more than an hour’s journey away, but it took Tommy only half an hour.
The roads along the way were remote and tricky.
There was no monitoring, not even at the logistics company.
The driver was bribed in advance. He let Anne enter the car, squeezing into one of the boxes inside.
Before the lid was closed, Tommy caressed her head with one hand and said softly,” It takes about an hour and a half to arrive at the dock, but I’ll ask the driver to drive as fast as possible. Bear with it, okay?”
“Aren’t you going?” Anne asked.
“I can’t go, as it’ll arouse Anthony’s suspicion.” Tommy’s eyes were grim. He really wanted to accompany her, but it was better to be cautious.
Anne nodded. “Alright, cover the box!”
“The box is breathable, so don’t be nervous. Just treat it as if you’re taking a break. The drug’s effect will be off when you get out later.”
“Okay.”
Tommy paused for a few seconds before finally closing the lid.
The driver nailed the lid shut, and it looked just like any other box.
After sealing it, Tommy asked outside the box, “How do you feel?” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“It’s nothing but darkness,” Anne said.
“Okay.” Tommy patted the box lightly as if to steady her heart.
After the door of the lorry was closed, the driver was on his way.
Tommy watched the lorry leave, and his phone suddenly vibrated.
He looked at the incoming call and answered it.
The voice on the other side was vague, ‘Sir, Anthony is gone.”
“Are you saying he still managed to escape despite being heavily drugged?” Tommy asked in an eerie tone, and the person on the other end of the phone felt their scalp go numb.
“Anthony was like a madman.”
“I don’t want excuses but a result. Understand?” Tommy said indifferently, “Are you the only one alive?”
“Yes, sir.”
A look of evil flashed in Tommy’s eyes. “You know what to do if you can’t complete the task.”
After that, he directly clutched his phone hard.
When he learned that Anthony checked Lucas, he knew he was not indignant.
What else could he do? Await for the reward?
The man wearing a black hood looked at the phone that was hung up, and he was ready to give up his life.
Even if they survived, those who failed to complete their task would be physically punished to death after returning.
This was the group’s rule, nothing to be afraid of.
Just as he was putting away his phone, he felt someone behind him.
However, he was too slow, and a needle pierced his skin before he could react.
The man swung his hand backward vigorously.
His assailant took two steps back, and he missed.
The man in the hood thought it was Anthony’s subordinate and wanted to continue to move forward. However, his legs suddenly went weak, and he fell before reaching the person.
The person took out his phone and called, “Mr. Lloyd, we caught a suspect.”
“Bring him back to the execution room.”
“Yes, Mr. Lloyd.”
Anne could clearly feel the truck moving.
She huddled in the darkness, hugging her knees, feeling nervous and excited.
Then, she became teary-eyed again because she thought of her children…and it hurt so badly.
