Chapter 430: Chapter 430
Anna Thornton opened her eyes to complete darkness.
She could feel resistance in front of her face, probably a black cloth covering her eyes.
She couldn’t see anything, and her hands and feet were tied!
Anna Thornton was ambushed while shopping at the mall.
She had heard a horror story before, about a woman who disappeared in the fitting room.
When found years later, she had lost her hands and feet, sold to a mutant circus troupe.
She never thought she’d actually encounter such a situation!
The attack happened suddenly when someone was hiding in the fitting room and struck Anna Thornton.
When she woke up, she found her hands and feet still attached, but all tied up, and her eyes were tightly covered.
Yet sometimes, Anna could sense she was in a vehicle.
In fact, it felt like she was blindfolded and moved onto a plane.
These people seemed to be constantly on the move, without any interaction with her.
They only gave her water a few times, but no food.
Exhausted, hungry, and unable to see, Anna felt like two months had passed.
But in reality, it had been less than two days.
Finally, Anna heard voices, conversation drifting into her ears!
Confusing sounds, she couldn’t understand what they were saying.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching her.
More than one person!
Anna’s position was sitting against a wall, with no place to retreat behind her.
The footsteps stopped in front of her, and she felt a rush of wind as her blindfold was rudely snatched away.
After two whole days in darkness, Anna almost immediately shut her eyes.
When she slightly adjusted and opened her eyelids, she saw two men and one woman standing in front of her!
All had dark skin, muscular figures, like three mountains towering over her.
They looked down at Anna Thornton, and the sole woman first spoke, dismissively scoffing.
"Why did you bring back such a weak woman? For a snack?"
"Even if you butcher her, there wouldn’t be enough meat to go around."
"Jacob, you’re wasting resources! Such a stunning Eastern woman right before you, and all you think about is eating meat?"
"Dick, don’t forget what we desperately need now are weapons. Look at the bullet holes in your leg that haven’t healed, yet you’re yearning for women?"
They spoke in a language mixed with English, and Anna had taken crash courses in several languages abroad, so she could basically understand the gist of their conversation.
Even without listening, just from the way they looked at her, Anna could see the malice in their eyes.
Anna had a suspicion that the situation was extremely unfavorable for her. Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI-Fire.ɴet
At that moment, a Caucasian figure appeared in Anna’s field of view.
"Licia, Jacob, Dick, put aside your individual thoughts. This woman was brought here with great effort and is meant for a significant purpose."
"A woman, what use could she be? What we need now are food and weapons. Julian, your boss promised to help us with the counterattack on Bem’s team..."
"Of course, darling, I haven’t forgotten our deal. I came to fulfill my promise to you. This woman can’t be killed or touched for now because she can bring you a lot of money, enough to buy a whole division’s worth of weaponry!"
Well, Anna was sure she had been kidnapped!
And if she wasn’t mistaken, she was now in an extremely dangerous country.
She could hear artillery not far away, the kind of explosive sounds only heard in war films.
This was no joke; it was real artillery!
Anna could even tell it had started far away, but was now heading in her direction, getting closer and closer...
The Caucasian named Julian bent down, smiling wryly as he looked at Anna like a convict, asking, "Beautiful Miss Thornton, while your expression is calm, your heart must be surprised, right? Didn’t expect it to be me, did you?"
If Anna recognized the Caucasian in front of her as the one who had asked for her contact information at the restaurant and got rejected.
She might be a bit surprised.
But at the time, she was seriously eating and never looked up, so she was clueless: "Who are you?"
"Sorry, I’m somewhat face-blind. Especially with average-looking foreigners, I tend to mix them up. Have we met?"
Anna really had a knack for angering people to death without recompense!
Julian prided himself on his looks and model-like physique.
Even knowing his bad character, countless women still flocked to him like bees to nectar.
Anna rejecting him was one thing, but saying she didn’t remember him?
Although he couldn’t touch her before achieving his goal, Julian had already decided in his mind that after things were done, he would definitely crush this woman beneath him, torment her until she begged for death.
He’d keep her gaze on his charming face throughout, making sure she remembered!
Then, when he grew bored, he’d kill her!
"Hey, I’m starving, can I get something to eat?"
Seeing that these people didn’t intend to harm her for the moment, Anna directly requested.
That Caucasian Julian seemed disdainful of the environment and wasn’t in the warehouse.
Leaving the three black men to guard Anna, they were eating.
On hearing her request, the other two were unmoved.
However, the one called Dick responded and walked towards Anna.
"Hungry?" he asked in accented English.
"Can you temporarily untie the rope? I’m too weak from hunger and need to restore the dexterity of my fingers."
Anna, an expert in acting, portrayed the weakness of someone with helpless limbs convincingly.
Seeing her frail appearance, they didn’t need to be defensive.
Licia was a boxing expert!
Even if the woman grew wings on her back, she’d never fly away.
