Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace - Chapter 261

Chapter 261: CHAPTER 261 Chapter 261: CHAPTER 261 I took a deep breath.

The Rebels had begun arresting those rich people.

After completing the operation, Dexter emerged with a slightly pale complexion.

I asked nervously, “Are you okay?” Dexter shook his head.

“I’m fine.” The girl sobbed and apologized, “I’m sorry…

I was utterly terrified.” Violette gently reassured the girl.

“It’s okay, there’s nothing to be afraid of.

We’ll be home soon.” The girl cried even more intensely.

Dexter glanced at me and said, “Follow closely and never let me out of your sight.” “They’re arresting people, including the president of Crowdstar Group.

At present, the Rebels only know that the president of Crowdstar Group is on board, but most of the rich people came with their relatives, friends, and bodyguards.” “They can’t identify the president of Crowdstar Group because they don’t have a photo of him.” The president of Crowdstar Group had successfully hidden his identity.

“Few of you, follow us!” The door swung open, and a group of armed personnel forcefully escorted us out.

They led us all the way to the 16th floor alongside the doctor.

Dexter held my hand all throughout.

I whispered, “Have you met the president of Crowdstar Group before?

Can you recognize him?” Dexter shook his head.

“I contacted the president of Crowdstar Group through his assistant, so I’ve never met him in person.” I frowned.

“He’s so mysterious and good at hiding.

Could he really be Boss of Genome Society?” The Boss Jimmy referred to and the person in charge of the region…

“Probably…

not.” Dexter shook his head.

I didn’t say much and followed those people out of the elevator.

The entire 16th floor lay in eerie silence.

Everyone was crouching down.

They were trying not to make any noise, afraid of getting shot.

Some people in the middle appeared confident and strong.

They were wealthy individuals, usually detached and unfazed.

They were not scared by the threat and crouched down.

Jimmy was there too, smiling and greeting us.

“What do you want to do?” someone questioned.

The leader of the Rebels carefully scrutinized the list until his eyes fell on Jimmy.

With a commanding voice, he asked, “Who has been in contact with the president of Crowdstar Group?

If you reveal his identity, I’ll spare you.” The leader hoped to entice them and attempted to lure the president of Crowdstar Group.

However, not a single person uttered a word.

“It seems you don’t know the seriousness of the matter.” The leader sneered, gesturing for those around him to take immediate action.

Someone beside him seized the rich man standing at the front, forced him into a chair, and extracted his nails with pliers.

The sound of screams reverberated through the hall.

Everyone huddled together in the middle, paralyzed with fear.

They were too terrified to even utter a word.

One of the women was unable to bear the pressure and began to cry, shaking her head.

“No one has ever seen the president of Crowdstar Group…

No one.

Crowdstar Group is a rapidly growing company that emerged in recent years.” “The mysterious president leading the company is renowned for his exceptional investment acumen.

Not only is he involved in numerous Huma companies, but he also maintains substantial stakes in various enterprises and joint ventures in Melovia.” “We’ve worked with him before, but we haven’t met him in person yet.” “That’s right.

We’ve only met and contacted his assistant.

No one knows what he looks like,” others added.

I looked around cautiously.

More than a thousand people were gathered here, including chefs, waiters, actors, celebrities, as well as ordinary guests.

If the president of Crowdstar Group had boarded the ship, he must be among these people.

Eason murmured, “The president of Crowdstar Group must truly be a genius.

I heard about him a few years ago.

None of the projects he invested in lost money.

Every single one of them returned a profit of a hundredfold.

It’s like he could predict it.” Joel was amused.

“Aren’t you a genius too?

Why don’t you consider joining the financial industry?” “The financial industry is ruthless!

I wish to live a bit longer.” Eason snorted.

“Ha…

Your line of work isn’t exactly the safest either,” Joel retorted.

“You know what?

My current job is to bring the evil-doers to justice.

If I were to switch to the financial industry, it would be me who ends up imprisoned.” Eason remained keenly aware of this fact.

“That means…

you’re not smart enough.

Fool.” Joel snorted.

“Could you please be quiet?

Enough with the flirting!

Look at where we are!” Zion couldn’t stand it anymore.

Could they show some respect toward these kidnappers?

“Is the president of Crowdstar Group actually on board?” Violette asked softly.

“All club members have a chip.

This cruise ship is equipped with an identification system, so once everyone boards the ship, their presence will be displayed,” Zion explained in a hushed tone.

I glanced warily at Dexter and said, “We need to locate the president of Crowdstar Group before these people do and ensure his safety.” Dexter nodded in agreement.

“Okay.” “It seems that no one wants to leave the cruise?” The leader’s laughter cut through the air as he seized the rich man’s hand and purposefully squeezed the wound where his nails had been ripped out.

The screams reverberated once more, a chilling assertion of the Rebels’ authority…” “Tell me now.

Who’s the president of Crowdstar Group?” The scene was completely silent.

“Very well.

Your lady?

I quite fancy her…

I wonder if she’d care to join us for the evening?” The leader stood up with a smile and pointed to the stunning female companion of one of the wealthy men.

The wealthy man paled and nervously glanced at the leader.

“I truly don’t know who the president of Crowdstar Group is.” “Since you have no idea, you’re a complete waste now.

Now, I’ll offer you a choice.

Hand over this woman for us to entertain for the night, or jump into the sea?

What’s it going to be?” the leader asked with a smirk.

The man’s face turned pale as he looked at the leader.

The next moment, he panicked and turned to glimpse the woman hiding behind him.

She was stunningly beautiful, like a celebrity.

She wept and shook her head, trembling with fear.

Unexpectedly, the man pushed the woman over directly.

“Whatever you want…

Don’t kill me.” I snorted.

What a coward!

The woman collapsed to the ground in despair, weeping and begging for mercy, “Please spare me.” The kidnapper showed no mercy.

With a sinister smile, he firmly grasped the woman’s hair, preparing to forcefully drag her away.

“Let her go.

I’m the president of Crowdstar Group.” A young, charismatic man among the wealthy people stood up and took the initiative to protect the woman.

The woman cried as she looked at him and shook her head.

Clearly, the two of them knew each other.

However, it was unclear whether the man was actually the president of Crowdstar Group.

“Ah!

You finally took the initiative to come out.

Well done.” The leader released his grip on the woman.

The man stepped forward and quickly pulled the woman behind him to protect her.

The leader began to verify the man’s details.

“Dayton Sacco, your father is the president of Sacco Group, and you’re the president of Crowdstar Group?

Ha.” Dayton nervously shielded the female celebrity while trying to maintain a calm façade.

“It’s no big deal.

My dad supports me in starting my own business under the tables…” There was truly no evidence to suggest that he was not.

“Do you really believe that we can’t confirm the identity of the president of Crowdstar Group?” asked the leader with a smile before instructing someone to bring a safe.

“Genome Society mandates that members store our valuables on this cruise ship.

It’s claimed that this cruise boasts the most secure protection system, as each safe can only be unlocked when the palm print and iris scan match simultaneously.” The leader ushered Dayton toward the safe.

“If you’re unable to unlock this safe, both you and the woman you protected will die.” I nervously tightened my grip on Dexter’s hand.

“Is he the president of Crowdstar Group?” If he weren’t, he would certainly be dead.

If he was, we had to find a way to protect him.

Dexter shook his head, his gaze intense.
