His Devious Rule

Chapter 471 Kidnapped



Anya's eyes brushed over the men in black and the driver in her car. The driver didn't look as frightened as she expected. Instead, he was worried. He looked back and forth to find a way out of the situation.

Alvin had briefed her that he was losing many artifacts due to poor security in the beginning. Then he spent a fortune on security so she guessed the driver was trained and he was worried about her safety.

The driver instructed her, "Young Madam, please wear your seat belt and stay low." If in case the group was bearing any weapon, she would be safe from it.

She glanced outside. The only option they had was to drive the car over a few men, get on the footpath and escape by driving at high speed. They will have to run on the highway for too long to get rid of the other three cars.

Anya pulled a metal out of her winter jacket and spun the handgun in her hand. She had twelve bullets. "Should I kill them?" But she will be answerable to Jason and the department. They might confiscate her handgun even if she stated it was for self-protection.

'Kill?' The driver turned around after alerting the security team. He was dumbfounded without understanding how Anya had a black Glock handgun.

Didn't they read the news that Anya has resigned?

Anya changed her mind, "I won't." The open firing would attract a lot of attention from country A and become a national issue due to her identity as the presidential awardee.

That doesn't mean she wouldn't use it when their life is in grave danger. She was letting Alvin's men handle it.

She wore the seat belt and looked at the driver who quickly took action to flee. Anya watched the three men in black manage to escape the car bumping into them.

A few bullets hit the car, and the knife grazed over the tires and windows but failed to break through. The three cars started chasing after them while Anya got busy on her laptop to find the owner of the cars behind them.

Due to an unsteady network, she took time to find a name, 'John Anderson.'

She dug in about the person and found out that he was working for a company named, 'Arrow Trucking.'

Her eyes narrowed at the man's picture, realizing the culprits are the truck company who didn't want her to find the truth behind the explosion.

Just then the car abruptly came to a halt causing her to instinctively grab the handgun and look outside immediately. Alvin's other team had arrived. She blankly witnessed Alvin's men take down the other men. It wasn't something new or amusing to her.

Anya had seen the armed men at the archaeological site but the ones here weren't bearing any weapons. Anyway, how could a truck company have firearms?

Does the Arrow trucking company work under the counter?

Bruised, one of Alvin's men ran up to the car and reported to her, "Young Madam, they were instructed to stop you and scare you to stop the investigation." He promptly reported to her.

Her deduction was right. The Arrow Trucking company was shady. They had already wasted time by chasing and tackling those men. She chose to take the leap instead of investigating from scratch.

"I want to meet John Anderson." She displayed a picture of a man, "The secretary of CEO, Arrow Trucking." She wasn't able to track the location of the man due to slow internet in the remote location.

The three men looked at each other, amazed at how she smoothly gathered the information, sitting in the car. They knew where the Arrow Trucking CEO was present but they were hesitant to take her there.

If the Arrow Trucking company was stopping her, then it wasn't safe for her to confront the CEO directly.

They couldn't defy her and seeing her determination, they gave subtle nods at each other.  This time two more security vehicles were added for Anya's safety.

….

It was getting dark when the three cars reached a luxurious resort at a sea cliff. Each villa of the resort was built with a waterfall architecture to give a breathtaking view of the sea.

It had started snowing, turning the resort into a magical place but Anya wasn't in the mood to check out anything. She had to reach Zane as it was getting late. And Alvin hadn't dropped her a message or call after the shareholders' meeting.

Worried there might be something critical at his end, she was determined to deal with Arrow Trucking company.

Getting out of the car, she was heading to the reception when she got a glimpse of a man who was being escorted by four men.

She abruptly paused and crossed her arms, glaring at Shawn Rivas, President of Rivas Industries in a holiday resort. She had tried to reach him and his secretaries numerous times due to the Arrow Trucking company but failed.

She couldn't believe he was chilling at a resort when his Global Oil and gas had an incident in the morning.

She decisively headed towards Shawn where he went. His cooperation would make things easier for them to deal with the Arrow Trucking company.

The security behind her followed her without a word. They assumed Anya might have obtained information about the CEO's room number.

Anya's steps slowed down and her body became alert, feeling the eyes watching them. But she couldn't spot anybody else. Standing in front of the villa where Shawn entered, Anya was about to knock on the door but they were suddenly ambushed.

Anya instinctively punched the man who jumped at her and kicked him to the wall. Her mind ran wild looking at other men scuffling and groaning in pain.

Wasn't the Arrow Trucking company trying to stop her?

Why was Rivas also trying to hurt them?

Anya was there for a conversation even if Rivas was going to turn her down. She had no intention of fighting.  She did consider her arrival with so many men might have looked threatening. Instead of attacking them, they could have questioned them first or asked them to leave.

The villa door suddenly opened. Anya was turning around when the man threw a mobile charger around her neck and crossed his arms to strangle her.

"Young Madam." A man shrieked in horror at what he witnessed. It distracted everyone, causing Alvin's men to rush toward them to save Anya.

It was a lousy move on Anya. Holding her breath, she was quick to shove her left hand between the wire and her neck and pushed the wire front. Getting out of the loop, her right hand went behind in a split second to hold the man's neck. She kicked the man's leg and slammed him on the ground with all her might.

"Ahhh…." The cry of the man startled some men while Alvin's men were in stupefaction at how smoothly she broke the face of a double-weight man.

Everything was happening so fast. Anya had no time to think of a plan. So she wasted no time and decided to fight her way out.

She stormed inside the villa to take down other men but froze. Her whole thought process ceased. She was blanked out by what she was seeing.

A man was holding a knife at Shawn Rivas's neck.

Shawn Rivas wasn't chilling at the resort. Anya gasped at the realization, "You are kidnapped?" Bewilderment etched on her face.
