Chapter 129 Agate Went Missing
“Ah!”
Lottie was horrified by the gruesome scene before her, something completely unfamiliar to her sheltered life.
A scream tore from her throat uncontrollably.
Her scream rang out, instantly drawing the attention of the man who was in the middle of dismembering the body.
His face was a canvas of scars as he grinned wickedly. His expression grew even more menacing when he saw a woman stumbling straight into his place.
Lottie’s scream was followed by the sounds of muffled cries nearby, as if other women were gagged. She also detected the noise of people banging against wooden crates.
That was when Lottie noticed that the crates near the man were open, revealing ropes used for binding.
Were these crates filled with captive women?
Before she could process this horror, the scarred man was already lunging towards her, fueled by fierce aggression.
“No, please, someone help!”

Lottie fought with all her strength, her desperation evident in every movement.
The man, well–versed in violence, abandoned his axe for a scalpel.
He forced Lottie’s mouth open and crudely cut out her tongue.
She tried to scream through the agony, but only muffled noises escaped.
He wasn’t finished; he then slit her vocal cords, ensuring she would never scream again.
His actions were brutally efficient. He was swift and ruthless.
Silenced forever, Lottie could no longer make any sound.
Laughing maniacally, he tore at her clothes and assaulted her.
Unbeknownst to the others on the ferry, this nightmare was unfolding in a secluded area.
Elsewhere, life with Maren continued as usual.–
By the end of the day, everyone was exhausted from the day’s activities. After sharing some pizza, the group settled down to sleep.

Chapter 129 Agate Went Missing
Winona, realizing Maren was alone, suggested she join their group. Maren, seeking anonymity, agreed, seeing it as a chance to blend in.
The group spent their downtime laughing and watching a movie.
Maren sat next to Winona, subtly messaging Simon on her phone.
“Is it done yet?”
Earlier that day, right after Lottie had bolted, Maren had told Simon to handle Lottie once and for all.
That woman was like a dose of pure poison, every word and action filled with malice.
If left unchecked, she posed a potential threat to Winona.
Maren, known for her ruthlessness, didn’t tolerate adversaries. Anyone perceived as an enemy was marked. It was this very tenacity that had positioned her as the successor of the Sovereign Underworld.
However, Simon’s reply caused Maren’s heart to sink.
“Boss, she’s gone. We can’t locate her.”
Back at his location, Simon was berating himself. It was rare for Maren to assign a task, and they were failing.
Lottie was missing?
Maren’s expression turned complex upon reading the message.
She had full confidence in Simon and the Onyx crew, especially with the manpower they had deployed.
“It’s okay, keep searching.”
Maren switched off her phone after sending the message.
“Trouble!” Jett burst through the door just then.
“What’s up? Weren’t you on your way to the restroom?” a guy watching the movie asked with annoyance.
