"It doesn't seem like the work of an organization, but rather that of the Rebels," I murmured. Steven nodded, clearly indicating his agreement with my perspective.
"The police are communicating with the kidnappers to secure the safety of the passengers on the cruise ship. There are thousands of passengers on the cruise, including over a hundred wealthy individuals, as well as singers, celebrities, dancers, actors, waiters, chefs, sailors, and more."
More than a thousand people attending a luxury cruise dinner were unexpectedly caught up in a hijacking horror scenario. The affluent passengers never could have fathomed experiencing such an exhilarating event during their leisurely evening aboard the cruise ship.
I narrowed my eyes and scrutinized Jimmy cautiously. "You're also a member of the Global Trade Union. Why didn't you attend? Is it possible that you were aware of the insider information beforehand?"
"Maybe I'm kind and concerned about your well-being. I wanted to come and see you, so I sacrificed the chance to go on the cruise," Jimmy replied with a smile.
Nevertheless, no one would believe what he said. I gestured toward the door. "Tell the truth or leave."
Jimmy approached the bedside and said, "Don't be so heartless. Well, I had already anticipated this. After all, I'm quite intelligent."
Seeing my gloomy expression, Jimmy smiled and said again, "All members of the club received invitations to board the ship, and it was mandatory for us to join the cruise. I knew there had to be something amiss...
Jimmy continued with a grave expression, "The club's website was hacked, and the internal information on every member was used to send invitations to all club members in Huma. The Rebels are becoming increasingly reckless."
They even hacked the club's website.
"Haha... Those people aren't as smart as you. That's not our concern. We're not as wealthy as them, and we're safe here," I said nonchalantly with a sneer. Then, I reclined on the bed.
"I heard that the president of Crowdstar Group was there too," Jimmy exclaimed with a wide grin.
I abruptly sat up and glanced over at Steven. It dawned on me that I had nearly overlooked something crucial. Was Steven working in cahoots with the president of Crowdstar Group? It was important for him to remain alive. Otherwise, we would lose access to the person in charge of the organization.
Jimmy seemed to have caught on to this and smiled at me.
"What are you staring at? It's too late for us to board the cruise." I couldn't tolerate Jimmy's mean look. Jimmy was lost in thought. "The fresh water and food on the cruise are sufficient for two weeks. But after that, the situation on the cruise will be dire. There will be no distinction between the rich and the poor. What's the use of being wealthy then?"Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
I was stunned for a moment. What kind of game were the Rebels playing?
Joel handed the list to Steven. "The kidnappers have given the police a demand. They want to swap the people on this list for the minors on the cruise. Eason sent the list to me. You, me, her, Rachel, Zion, Eason, Una... We're all on this list."
I took a deep breath, my fingers trembling with anger. Had these Rebels lost their minds? Why did they always drag us into this damn game?
Jimmy smiled and narrowed his eyes. "This time, the game is much more interesting because I'm here. I'm looking forward to it. Guys, shall we embark on the cruise together?"
"I'm feeling unwell. I'm not going." The suffocating and stressful situation consumed me and left me breathless. Moreover, I had just narrowly escaped death.
"If Stephie doesn't go, then I won't go either," Steven said nonchalantly.
"Are you really going to pass up this opportunity? The president of Crowdstar Group's life is at stake. Don't you want to find out who he is, Stephy?" Jimmy cunningly used this information to entice me.
"Zion will also come to beg you because there are 20 young dancers on the cruise who are the performers for this dinner. They're innocent. Only when we get on the cruise can we ensure their safety." Joel sighed deeply.
A death cruise... I was truly infuriated. Who was the leader behind the Rebels? What kind of lunatic and pervert could come up with these tricks?
