Chapter 575

The masked woman grinned and gestured to Steven to step forward. "If you're not the one, I'll kill you directly."

She appeared to be waiting for Steven to fail at unlocking the safe so that she could kill him. I clenched my hands tightly as I stared at the masked woman. At that moment, I struggled to figure out how to ensure Steven's survival.

Down below, Zion, Eason, Joel, and the others were also nervously watching the scene.

"Now, if the real president of Crowdstar Group steps forward, all these lives can still be saved. Otherwise, everyone here will die," the masked woman declared, her eyes sweeping across the entire crowd.

The president of Crowdstar Group must have been aboard the cruise ship. If he wasn't among the people on stage, then he had to be down below. All eyes were fixed on the stage. Everyone was scared. The large banquet hall that was full of people suddenly became very quiet.

"Okay. Go ahead," the masked woman gestured toward the safe and instructed Steven to unlock it.

I glanced anxiously at Steven as I took a deep breath. He placed his palm on the safe, and the alarm was not triggered. Everyone watched Steven with anticipation, hoping that he was the one they were searching for.

Sacrificing Steven alone might be the solution to save everyone. After all, humans were often filled with negativity and darkness.

"Iris." The Rebels wouldn't dare to directly attack Steven. His presence was overpowering and terrifying. Steven then glanced toward the iris verification.

"Beep... Error! Error!" The safe emitted a loud buzzing alarm.

It wasn't a match. I gazed at Steven in disbelief. Wasn't he the president of Crowdstar Group? Now, even I wasn't sure.

The masked woman and the Rebels were visibly astonished as well. They glanced around, attempting to identify the president of Crowdstar Group. In stark contrast to the others, Steven remained unfazed, standing confidently and unruffled.

"You're playing tricks on us." The masked woman was angry and pointed her gun at Steven.

Steven regarded her with a frigid stare, his eyes brimming with desolation. He assumed that she would not dare to pull the trigger.

I tried to move forward in a panic, but the Rebels stopped me. I looked at Steven in fear, worried that the madwoman would actually shoot him. Thankfully, she didn't. She looked at Steven, her arms shaking for some reason. Then, she lowered the gun. She didn't kill Steven, but it wasn't because she was afraid.

Ewan stepped forward and grabbed the masked woman's wrist to stop her from shooting wildly. "It appears that Steven isn't the president of Crowdstar Group. I suggest you don't go too far."

The masked woman glared angrily at Ewan, appearing out of control. She seemed conflicted, as if she hoped that Steven would be the president of Crowdstar Group but at the same time dreaded the possibility.

"Keep going, everyone else!" The masked woman shrugged off Ewan's hand and gestured toward the remaining people.

Those people were all sitting on the ground in fear, their faces pale. Ewan frowned, realizing that the masked woman was losing her mind. As expected, she continuously killed another two people.

"That's enough," Ewan warned sternly.

I grabbed Steven's arm and cast a wary glance at the madwoman. Her behavior was truly unhinged. Steven furrowed his brows and turned to Ewan. However, he didn't look at Steven and just stood in front of the

woman.

The woman gazed down with a look of madness in her eyes. "I know you're on the cruise. If you refuse to come out now, I'll continue to kill the passengers."

After saying that, she pointed the gun at me. I knew she truly wanted to kill me, but she had some reservations. Steven looked at her angrily and stood in front of me to protect me.

"Is she really that important to you?" the masked woman asked, her voice filled with madness.

Steven didn't answer her. His actions had already revealed everything to her.

"In that case, I'll let you die for her!" the masked woman yelled at Steven as she prepared to shoot.

I was utterly terrified, my heart racing.

"Stop the killing!" A sharp, trembling voice came from the crowd at this moment.

Everyone turned to look. Amidst the crowd, Dayton was visibly shaking, his eyes filled with tears. "Stop the killing. I'm the president of Crowdstar Group. I built the business from the ground up without my family's knowledge and founded Crowdstar."
