Chapter 1492
Yuri had died a painful death and Anne broke down in tears at the sight.
Anthony carried her outside and ordered his men to look into it as they exited the hospital.
Tears were still streaming down Anne’s cheeks when they went into the car.
Anthony pulled her closer and promised, “I’ll look into this.”
She pulled away. “It has to be the people from Tianya who did it. It has to be! They aren’t human! They can just murder the assassins they trained without hesitation!”
“There is a high possibility that the masked man we killed was just a decoy,” he said.

Anne froze as she recalled the masked man’s voice and height, but could not find difference from the leader she remembered as they looked exactly the same.
“When we took his mask off, something felt off and I thought that I was overthinking,” he continued. “As the leader of an assassin association, he died too easily.”
“So you are saying that the leader of Tianya found someone to act as him to lure me out. Maybe…you are a part of his plan as well.”
“Yeah.”
Anne was devastated. Had she been more careful, Yuri would not have died.
“I did this to her…” She covered her face and sobbed.
Anthony held her close once again. “This is not your fault. I am going to find that man.”
She nodded and struggled to calm herself.
They returned to the hotel and Anthony handed her a glass of water while stroking her back in a comforting manner. “Have some water.”
She took a sip to regain her composure, before proceeding to explain when it had happened. “Back then…the masked man caught me and ignited the bomb on the helicopter when it passed the sea, so that he could cause a diversion to kidnap me. On that island, anyone who tries to escape will be shot on sight, but they won’t tell you that. It was Yuri who warned me when I tried to escape. I came close to giving up so many times during the training because I was just too hard, but Yuri asked me if I wanted to survive or die there. I told her that I wanted to go home to my children and that I can’t die. After that, Yuri would always look after me during training. Without her, I would have been dead by now, yet I’ve failed to protect her…”
Guilt grew like weed within Anne and her tears slipped into her glass.
Anthony moved closer and planted a kiss on her forehead. “How did you escape in the end? “He asked
“One of the assassins was tracked back to the island. We don’t know who came but they got into a fight with the people on the island and we took our chance to run.”
“Someone turned his nest upside down, so I assume that there’s nothing useful for us on that island. I’m getting to the bottom of this and I’m finding the culprit who has been pulling the strings.” He planted another kiss on her forehead. “Stay by my side. Don’t go anywhere.”
Anne froze.
Not wanting her to misunderstand, he added, “You are free to go anywhere, but it’s safer to stay by my side, no?”
“…Yeah.” She agreed, not having other excuses to refuse.
After settling all matters related to Yuri, Anne followed Anthony back to Luton, while Anthony’s subordinates continued to look for people related to Tianya. The masked man could travel to Luton at any time, so they would still have to be on guard.
