Chapter 279 Fish Them Out

#5 Free Coins

Although I had been through many challenges before, this was the first time I had encountered something so twisted.

I immediately screamed, and Damian quickly pulled me behind him.

Luke stepped forward, standing in front of me, shielding me from the gruesome scene.

I stared at the severed tongue that had fallen at my feet Still shaken, I pushed Luke aside. "Silas, you want to die? I won't let you. I'll replace out everything! I'll make you watch Anna spiral into ruin and see how your organization falls apart! "Damian, no matter what it takes, make sure he stays alive!"

"Roger that."

The smell of blood in the room made me nauseous, so I stepped out for a moment.

Silas was a madman, willing to bite off his own tongue rather than speak the truth.

From the start, he had purposely brought up a topic to grab our attention, hoping we would drop our guard before killing himself.

He was a tough man, but it was a shame he took the wrong path..

Though it was already late winter, the night in Snowville was still chilling. The flower in the yard swayed gently in the streetlight, casing my discomfort a little.

"Are you okay?" Luke asked, concern in his eyes.

I shook my head and said, "I'm tough. You saw it too; this organization is powerful. We need to be extra. careful from now on."

"I know."

I gave him a subtle glance and said, "Keep an eye on Sheila. If she's part of the organization, she'll likely try to replace a way to rescue Silas."

"You want to draw them out?" he asked, catching on.

"Yeah. If she's not part of it, that's fine. But if she is, we'll have a lead. You just need to play your part well- pretend you were deceived by Anna and lash out at her lover. "Got it. You... take care of yourself."

"I'll head back to my room." I leave without saying anything else.

Carter wasn't in the room. He was probably discussing something with Jeffrey. I went to the bathroom to freshen up, trying to wash off the lingering image of the severed tongue from my mind- Twas about to get some water when the image of the severed tongue flashed in my mind, and I felt an uncomfortable shiver.

Chapter 279 Fish Them Out

Carter entered the room with a sense of stability.

He must have already learned the full details from Damjan. As soon as he entered, he swiftly closed all the curtains and hurried to my side,

He pulled me into his arms, his voice soft as he comforted me. "Chloe, don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid. It's just... this is the first time I've seen something like that. It's hard to get used to. I'm okay. now. How is hel

Carter explained, "Don't worry, he survived. I had his blood, hair, and skin samples taken for DNA testing. Chloe, don't rush. We're getting closer to the truth. Soon, it will all be clear

"Silas would rather bite off his own tongue than reveal anything, which means he knows that as long as he stays silent, we won't harm Anna. But if he talks, the organization behind him won't spare her. Once I know the truth, Anna will be worthless, and the only thing waiting for her will be death. Silas is using his life to buy Anna time

Suddenly, Something clicked in my mind. "Silas mentioned Mister earlier. If he wasn't lying. it means my little sister isn't dead; she's being held captive by that man!"

"That's good news, right? As long as she's alive, there's hope, Carter said, trying to comfort me.

I sighed. "I hope we can replace some clues in Silas's DNA

Carter gazed into my eyes and said, "Chloe, don't get your hopes up too much. If it were facial recognition. or fingerprints, it'd be easier to identify him. But just from blood and DNA samples, it's harder. Unless his family is in prison or registered in a genetic database, il be tough to pinpoint his identity right away."

I know. But right now, it's our only shot.

He assured, "Don't worry. We've already found their main base. If it comes to it, we can force our way into their underground hideout and see what secrets it holds. But that's risky. We don't know how many people

are there."

I patted his hand and stopped him. "We don't need to take such drastic measures yet. If we act out of desperation, the mastermind might slip away. We're close to the truth. Once Silas is caught, they'll speed things up. They might try another trick, but if we stay one step ahead, we'll be able to follow the trail.

"By

the way, Carter, keep an eye on the Sanders. I suspect those people might try to make a move against them. They're probably worried about things dragging on and changing their strategy to act quickly. If we beat them to the punch, we can... Before I could finish, Carter's phone rang.

For some reason, a sense of unease and irritation settled in my chest.

I watched him intently as his face slowly turned serious after answering the call.

When the call ended, I rushed to ask, "Is something happened to the Sanders?"

"Chloe, we were too late."

My heart sank. "What happened?"
