Chapter 880: Chapter 885: An Unexpected Arrival

Yang Yi turned back, his gaze once again intensely fixed on Steve.

Steve was visibly uneasy, but he didn’t say a word.

Yang Yi believed the shared view he held with Annastasia couldn’t be wrong, even if there were discrepancies, they would only be in the details. The crucial point that Steve had found a new backer was unquestionably correct.

Yang Yi hesitated over whether to first ask Steve exactly who he had turned to, but after locking eyes with Steve for a moment, he discarded the thought.

Steve wasn’t the kind to spill everything at the first sign of pressure, especially knowing that he wouldn’t be killed. Rather than wasting time listening to Steve’s lies, it was better to find a safe place and then question him leisurely.

Yang Yi looked toward the men from Anton’s group, then he said in a lowered voice, "Strip him of his clothes, search every inch of his body, and then take him with us as we leave."

At Yang Yi’s order, Brian said to Anton, "I have spare clothes, get him changed."

Anton exhaled deeply, stepped forward to grab Steve, and said with a detached expression, "Come here, behave yourself."

Stripping Steve was necessary for fear he had some sort of tracking device on him; changing his clothes was also needed to prevent easy recognition.

Anton led Steve into a cabin, and Brian whispered to Yang Yi, "Where are we headed?"

Where indeed.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Yi said, "First step, Germany. We need someone who can determine Steve’s financial worth and verify the truth of what he’s saying."

Germany was currently the most fitting choice because the Organization of Water had many safehouses there.

Yang Yi whispered again, "What about Iron Fist and the others?"

"They’re at another safehouse with Jethro. Should I ask them to come over now?"

Yang Yi shook his head, "No, don’t ask them to come. We must leave as soon as possible. Anna and I are both worried that Steve has already turned to Nicholas, and there’s a high chance Nicholas has people in Nice waiting to assist him."

Brian’s expression shifted slightly, then he said quietly, "Then we need to make a quick exit."

Yang Yi turned to Zhang Yong and said, "Brother Yong, be careful."

Zhang Yong nodded and replied, "Don’t worry. Are we traveling by land?"

"By land, and not using public transport. Forget about flying."

Zhang Yong spoke gravely, "I’ll arrange an escort vehicle."

When the decision to leave was made, there could be no hesitation or delay.

Zhang Yong gestured to his men, and the Alpha trio was ready to leave with him when suddenly the walkie-talkie on the side sprang to life.

"There are people coming! Many cars, something doesn’t feel right."

Zhang Yong’s steps faltered; his expression turned bleak as he said quietly, "Damn it!"

Yang Yi, holding the walkie-talkie, asked urgently in a low voice, "Can you determine their identity?"

Hans responded quietly, "No, people are getting out of the cars, lots of them, with unclear intentions... Oh no, they’re armed, fuck! With heavy weapons!"

Yang Yi felt a chill in his heart.

The Organization of Water hadn’t made a mistake, from the kidnapping of Steve till now, not a single mistake.

But the enemies had arrived, whoever they were, it was certain they were not friends, because anyone wanting to snatch Steve was definitely an enemy.

"Don’t intercept!"

Paul and Hans can’t intercept; it’s best they don’t expose themselves. Preparing to meet us on the outskirts is a better choice.

After finishing on the walkie-talkie, Yang Yi shouted, "Old demon! Let’s go!"

Anton dragged Steve out of the house, his face looking extremely grim. After shaking Steve violently, he said in a deep voice, "Speak! Who’s coming?"

Steve sighed lightly, then said calmly, "My backup, there are many of them. If you use me as a hostage and hand me over to them, I can assure you that you’ll be able to leave safely."

Anton looked at Yang Yi, who said with a deep voice, "Don’t ask anymore, pull out!"

Since it was chosen as a safehouse, there must be convenient exits, multiple escape routes.

But Paul’s next message was worse.

"Surrounded! You’re blockaded, lots of people, not less than a hundred!"

Actually more than a hundred.

The situation was this dire.

If Steve only had a few people for backup, Yang Yi wouldn’t have to be afraid of anything – the worst would be getting exposed and targeted.

However, with a large number of enemies, it’s a different story, like now, it’s like catching turtles in a jar.

Only the Organization of Water had become the turtle.

Steve and Nicholas’s collusion was deeper than anticipated.

At that moment, Hans said through the walkie-talkie, "The enemy doesn’t know your exact location, they’ve sealed the area, but they don’t know where precisely."

Brian didn’t speak. He took out a mobile phone from his pocket, then ran to the kitchen. After placing the phone on the floor, he chopped it to pieces with a bone cleaver, then threw it into the fridge.

Yang Yi went over and grabbed Steve by the collar, saying coldly, "Nicholas sent quite a few men, huh?"

Steve’s eyes changed, revealing a bit of surprise, but he quickly regained his composure, then said indifferently, "Not only you want to kill Mr. Marcel. Indeed, those outside are Nicholas’s men, and they’ve learned my location. It’s too late for anything now. Before things become irreversible, using me in exchange for a way out for you, how about that?"

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Let you go? Don’t dream. If we can’t leave, you’ll just have to be buried with us. You either work for me or you die."

Steve was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Would you sacrifice all your men for my sake? Do you think it’s worth it?"

Yang Yi was still smiling, although it was a bitter one.

"Not worth it, but I also won’t let you live and leave!"

After saying that, Yang Yi pushed Steve away and said firmly, "Watch him, we break through!"

Anton, however, pushed Steve back toward Yang Yi and took out a pistol, stuffed it into Yang Yi’s hands, then said in a deep voice, "Keep an eye on him and finish him off at the end."

The safehouse had everything, naturally not lacking in weapons. But to go against the elite forces prepared to take down Deyo, to be honest, it was not quite enough.

Brian picked up the walkie-talkie, pulled Annastasia close to him, then said softly, "Follow me. If..."

Annastasia smiled and said, "No ifs. And, actually, I don’t need your care."

After raising the submachine gun in her hand, Annastasia said calmly, "I don’t need anyone’s care."

Brian exhaled and then said through the walkie-talkie, "Holy Water, we’re going to break through in your direction. Coordinate with us after you see us, over."
