Chapter 438<\/p>\n
With her back to the source of the voice, Cherise looked slightly displeased and confused.<\/p>\n
Her brows knitted together, as she couldn\u2019t tell who it was just from the voice.<\/p>\n
Besides, it was obvious that the voice had been altered using a voice changer.<\/p>\n
After checking Mary\u2019s condition, she slowly turned around.<\/p>\n
All she saw was a man dressed entirely in black standing next to the business vehicle she had seen earlier.<\/p>\n
He was covered head to toe, including his face, neck, and hands, exposing nothing.<\/p>\n
He was also wearing a black mask.<\/p>\n
His entire outfit was so dark that it seemed he could merge with the night.<\/p>\n
This raised a question in Cherise\u2019s mind, leading her to ask, \u201cWho are you? Or should I say, how do you know me?\u201d<\/p>\n
The man in black chuckled, \u201cYour good days are almost over, so there\u2019s no point in asking who I am, right?<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the time your name appeared among us, you weren\u2019t even in Betrico yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cStill, I admire your abilities. At such a young age, you\u2019re incredibly skilled and attractive, making many people envious.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut unfortunately, beauty comes with a price, and you\u2019ve crossed too many people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise let out a cold laugh after hearing this. She thought, \u2018Not in Betrico? Then it must be Yasvissa, and a hitman hired by Shirley.\u2018 After sorting through her thoughts, she said, \u201cOh? So shady, huh?<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, you are indeed after me, and Mary is merely a lure.<\/p>\n
\u201cAm I really in too many people\u2019s way? Who?<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I\u2019m not mistaken, you\u2019re one of Ghost Hand\u2019s men.<\/p>\n
\u201cOr more precisely, you\u2019re the leader of Ghost Hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause the leader of Ghost Hand never reveals their true face.<\/p>\n
Saying this, she gave him a playful look, as if her gaze could pierce holes through his black clothes.<\/p>\n
It seemed that the man in black became noticeably uneasy when he heard the words \u201cGhost Hand.\u201d<\/p>\n
But it was only for a fleeting moment.<\/p>\n
The man who had just spoken began laughing at Cherise and Mary. \u201cHahaha, interesting, very interesting.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t believe someone who knows my identity can stand so calmly in front of me.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really a pity; since you know, you can\u2019t stay in this world any longer.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomeone, take them away; we can\u2019t stay here for long.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Cherise glanced at Mary beside her and gently asked, \u201cGrandma Mary, are you okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary nodded, then shook her head.<\/p>\n

The effects of the pill weren\u2019t immediate; it might take another fifteen minutes to work.<\/p>\n
They had quite a few people. If Mary wasn\u2019t here and it was just her, taking a risky gamble might not be such a big deal.<\/p>\n
But now she had to take care of Mary, which greatly hindered her movements.<\/p>\n
Leaving Mary aside made it easy for someone to take advantage. Besides, that whiff of knockout gas earlier came from the five people she had pricked with needles.<\/p>\n
At the moment of their death, the gas was released, and she inhaled some of it.<\/p>\n
Waiting fifteen minutes for the pill to take effect seemed unrealistic.<\/p>\n
On top of that, she had no idea how skilled Ghost Hand, their leader, might be, so taking a chance on a fight seemed unlikely.<\/p>\n
Since it was Ghost Hand, she thought she might as well meet them. After thinking for a bit, she said to them, \u201cAlright, I can go with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ghost Hand chuckled again, \u201cYou\u2019re really straightforward. But before we go, there\u2019s still something I want from you.\u201d<\/p>\n
He moved closer to Cherise as he spoke.<\/p>\n
At that moment, Cherise began to feel the knockout gas and the pill fighting inside her, making her mind go blank for an<\/p>\n
instant<\/p>\n
It was so intense that when Ghost Hand quickly yanked the necklace off her neck, she couldn\u2019t even react.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026\u201d She exclaimed as she finally realized what had happened, talking to Ghost Hand.<\/p>\n
Ghost Hand chuckled from behind his black mask. \u201cThis necklace looks pretty exquisite. If I\u2019m not mistaken, Morris gave it, to you, right?<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s truly enviable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise maintained a calm exterior, but inside, she was reassessing the person in front of her. His speed when grabbing the necklace was impressive, maybe on par with the skills she and Morris had.<\/p>\n
Besides, Cherise thought, \u2018How did he know this special necklace is a gift from Morris to me?\u2018<\/p>\n
Morris mentioned that the necklace was custom\u2013made, and only people from the Dark Web Division knew about it. Cherise thought, \u2018Could it be\u2026?\u2018<\/p>\n
So it was clear that taking action now was really disadvantageous for her.<\/p>\n
But, by the time Morris got here, this necklace might have already been moved by the members of Ghost Hand, which would be terrible.<\/p>\n
Everything Cherise thought was exactly right.<\/p>\n
Fifteen minutes after she and Mary were taken, Morris\u2018 team finally got there.<\/p>\n
Morris looked at the software tracking the necklace\u2019s location\u2013it clearly showed the place. Morris thought, \u2018What on earth is going on?\u2018<\/p>\n
A bad feeling started spreading through his whole body, and his hands unknowingly began to feel a bit numb.<\/p>\n

He shouted out, \u201cTunt on all the outdoor lights and search this area thoroughly. Let\u2019s see if there\u2019s any clue we missed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Upon hearing the command, all his people immediately sprang into action.<\/p>\n

Morris felt the same way; he was more anxious than anyone else because one of the missing was the woman he loved dearly, and the other was his grandmother.<\/p>\n
Especially Cherise, she was the love of his life. Not knowing where she was felt more suffocating than not being able to breathe himself.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Chivers, there\u2019s something here.\u201d Leo shouted, picking up a small item and quickly running over to Morris.<\/p>\n
