“So it’s Madam White, you’ve come to my territory? You should have told me sooner, we could have gotten together.”

“No need. Just arrange for men to come over. I must leave this place within thirty minutes.”

“Of course. Wait a moment, I’ll arrange it.”

Madam White hung up the phone and turned to walk into the ship’s cabin.

Inside was an iron cage, and inside the cage was a person. A small body was curled into a ball, face buried in its knees, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Silently watching her.

It was Ann, who had been missing for several days. She had been kept locked up.

Madam White watched her quietly and smiled. “This child is amazing, too. Hasn’t cried or fussed the entire way. Impossibly quiet.”

She slowly crouched down and looked at Ann. “Child, do you know why I captured you?”

Ann was silent for a long time.

Madam White laughed self–deprecatingly. “Why am I asking a child? It’s good that understand.”

Ann slowly said, “You want something from here.”

Her small finger touched her heart.

“My heart.”

Madam White was slightly surprised.

Ann replied unhurriedly, “I heard you.”

Her expression changed slightly. The only languages she used here were English and the local dialect. How could such a young Hindersville child understand?

Ann slowly raised her head, revealing a dirty little face. Only her eyes were exceptionally dark and bright, like a pair of beautiful obsidian stones.

If it weren’t for the fact that she was a perfect match, she wouldn’t be willing to harm such a beautiful child.

“This is my heart. Can you not take it away?”

“No, I need your heart.”

Ann’s eyes dimmed. She shrank her shoulders and said no more.

Madam White didn’t interact with her further, afraid she might soften. She turned and went to the next room.

A girl was lying there, hooked up to a respirator. It was her daughter, who had a sudden medical crisis last night, her life hanging by a thread.

That was why she was in such a hurry to ship the person out.

The local medical standards were too poor. She could not accept any accidents during the surgery, so she had long ago contacted a hospital outside. As soon as the person arrived, the surgery would begin immediately.

“Yorian, I can’t live without you. It won’t hurt for much longer. Be good.”

The cars arrived at the port.

Tatiana and Jasper hurried out, not daring to delay for a second.

A subordinate came forward to report, “Boss, the port is completely locked down. Not a single ship has left.”

“Check them one by one!”

Even if it cost an enormous price, he would not hesitate!

Manpower was mobilized, and they began to board and inspect the ships.

They were equipped with the most advanced weapons, and with their superior numbers, their firepower alone was enough to intimidate.

Most of the ships didn’t dare to resist, obediently submitting to the inspection.

Tatiana and Jasper were also on the search boats, personally joining the search.

But there were dozens of ships, large and small, on the sea. Which one was it?

Suddenly, as if sensing something, she raised her head and looked in a certain direction. There was a ship there that was clearly newer and larger than the others.

She had a strong premonition, tugged on Jasper’s sleeve, and pointed. “Go there.”

He didn’t ask questions. “Okay, let’s go.”

They boarded their boat and headed for that speedboat.

Madam White stood on the deck, watching them through binoculars, her gaze locking onto the man and woman at the bow.

She frowned. “Who are they?”

The subordinate beside her had heard some things. “That man arrived here not long ago, said he was looking for someone. He’s taken over many of the local factions. He’s ruthless, powerful, and his weapons are all top–tier. His background is extraordinary. Yesterday, our car was almost stopped by his men. We only escaped by forcing our way through the checkpoint.”

“So it’s him.”

Madam White grew vigilant. “Where are Astor’s men?”

“They’ve arrived!”

As soon as the words fell, several boats suddenly scattered and closed in, as if forming an encirclement.

This sudden change put Jasper on high alert. He immediately protected Tatiana, moving her into the cabin.

“What’s wrong?”

“They’re not our men.”

Not their men, which meant… enemies!

Sure enough, almost instantly, those boats launched an attack.

Cannonballs landed beside their boat, exploding violently, sending up massive waves. The ship rocked violently.

Tatiana almost lost her footing. An arm wrapped around her waist. “Careful.”

She paid no attention to herself, saying anxiously, “Ann is on that boat! We have to stop them! Once they’re out at sea, we’ll never find them!”

“Okay. You stay in the cabin and don’t move. Wait for me.”

“But…”

“Don’t move.”

His expression was serious and unyielding.

She bit her lip. “Okay, I won’t hold you back. I’m counting on you.”

He needed to go to the front to observe the situation and command his men. He couldn’t hide in the cabin, but he also didn’t want her facing danger.

“Wait for me.”

The two separated.

The ship was rocking so much it was impossible to stand steadily. Her ears were filled with the deafening sound of explosions.

Tatiana held onto the railing, looking out anxiously. All she could see was thick black smoke, obscuring her vision.

Astor’s men were clearly better equipped; they were evenly matched with Jasper’s forces.
