"Brother Luke, it'd be better for you to stay here." Vivian stopped Luke immediately. It made no sense to ask a guest to help catch an intruder. "Trust Ray. He can handle this well. Besides, the villa is more than a hundred years old. The person who broke in will get lost easily even if he has the map. And your leg is still injured. We should stay here."Luca went along with Vivian’s words and said, "Mr. Crawford, I think we shouldn't cause any trouble for Mr. Ray."Luke slightly frowned. Although the current situation did not look too good, Luke could feel Luca’s love for him.She was concerned about him…Luke stared at Luca for a while. It was indeed inconvenient for him to go look for Ray now. He could only come up with a few ideas for Ray, but he could not be of much help.Ray would still have to ask someone to protect him if something happened.His staying here would not cause any trouble for Ray, and he could also make sure that Luca was within his sight…Luke decided at o
The bodyguard pushed the door open.Ray walked in front, heading into the cellar. Then, the bodyguard pushed Luke’s wheelchair and walked in as well.The cellar was not as dark as he had imagined. It was brightly lit, and he could see everything clearly.A man was chained to a steel bar that was as thick as an adult human.The clothes on the upper half of the man’s body had been taken off. There were fresh bruises on his body. Just by looking at them, it was obvious that it was Ray’s men who beat him up after they found him.“This is the man who secretly broke into my house.”The man lifted his head and glanced at Ray when he was talking. The expression on his face was evil-looking. Then, he lowered his head. Not a word of pleading escaped his mouth. Even though he was being held as a prisoner now, he was still arrogant. Luke looked at the man in front of him. He had blonde hair with a Western appearance. Even though he had been captured, his expression was still prideful.
”At this crucial moment!” Ray frowned as he could no longer keep himself calm.The man Ray caught was probably drugged and was like a time bomb. If the man was unable to accomplish the mission or return, the drug would probably attack his body. It would be difficult to interrogate the man by then.“Are there no pharmacists left?” Luke asked. “There were two of them. But they followed Winson there.” Ray grabbed his hair. He had no idea whether the man locked in the cellar had swallowed any pills or not.“I know someone who can help—Luca,” said Luke. “She can prepare the potion according to the formula as long as the materials are prepared.” “Yes. We still have Dr. Craw.” Ray clapped his hands and said to the bodyguard, “Head to the living room and ask for Dr. Craw’s help. Just say I’m the one who needs her help. I’ll send the formula to Vivian. She’ll know what to do.” “Alright, Boss.” The bodyguard left immediately. Then, Luke added, “Before the potion is made, you can che
“Yes, Boss.” The bodyguard took the potion from Ray and entered the cellar. Vivian looked at them with confusion. The bodyguard had entered the cellar, but they did not intend to go in. She thought of following them into the cellar to see what was going on. She asked, “Ray, why are you standing here?”“Nothing.” Ray shook his head. Vivian replied when she saw this, “I’d like to go in.”Ray stopped her and said, “No, you can’t.”Vivian frowned and looked at him. “What’s wrong?”“He’s naked now. What are you going to do there?” said Ray. He had no intention of seeing that man’s naked body, not to mention letting Vivian be exposed to that sight.“I didn’t know…” Vivian paused when she heard that. There was an awkward expression on her face. Ten minutes later, Hansen walked out of the cellar. He could barely hide the excited expression on his square-jawed face. He even forgot to put down the towel in his hand. “Boss, there is one.”“Make it clear.” Ray felt in his bones that th
At the same time, Gordan heard about the news too.“Are you sure about that?” Gordan looked at the man who sat in front of him. The man was his friend, and he had his own organization in Russia. “It’s everywhere now. Why? Aren’t you related to Ray? How can you not know about it?” Owen swirled his wine glass and asked Gordan. It caught Owen’s attention after what had happened. After all, it was Ray’s villa. The other organizations would not have the guts to send someone to sneak into his house. However, he would never talk to Ray, and that was why he had no choice but to ask Gordan. It reminded Gordan of Vivian when he mentioned Ray. He was unable to contact her all this while. The divorce papers were still in his hands, and he had yet to send them to the court. Hence, he was utterly depressed about it.“I have nothing to do with his family’s affairs.” Gordan sounded aggressive. Owen noticed that there was something wrong with Gordan’s tone. He thought that something must ha
“Alright.” Gordan nodded and entered the elevator together with Luke.Jason swiped the room card when they reached Luke’s room. Then, he returned to his room after sending Luke back.Luca knew that they had something to talk about, so she said, “Mr. Crawford, I’m going back to my room first. Just knock on the door if there’s anything you need.”“Okay.” Luke nodded.Luca walked into another room and closed the door while Gordan looked at her. Gordan’s jaw dropped as he was startled. As a subordinate, Luca was staying in the same suite as Luke. Although they were staying in different rooms, it was still inappropriate to do so.Gordan would not be so surprised if Jason was staying in the next room beside hers.Luke noticed the oddness in his eyes and said calmly, “Let’s go into the room and talk about it.”“Alright, Brother Luke.” Gordan took the initiative to push Luke’s wheelchair and walk into the room.After he closed the door, Gordan could not help but ask, “Brother Luke, w
"Sure, but what do you need this for?” Luke asked while holding his phone. He pulled up the photo of the tattoo and sent it to Gordan’s phone.Gordan looked at the photo he sent over and explained, “Although I’m an inconspicuous person, I often take commissions. I’ll definitely be able to use this in the future.”Luke put the phone down.Gordan also kept the phone in his pocket and held out his hand. “Brother Luke, I’ve yet to congratulate you on your company getting the project. Congratulations.”“Thanks.” Luke shook his hand.Gordan rubbed his chin and looked around. He got what he wanted but could not bring up the thing he intended to ask. There was no point in staying around any longer, so he said, “Brother Luke, rest up. I still have some things to do, so I’m taking off. I’ll still be in Russia for the time being, so call me if you need anything.”“Okay. It’s inconvenient for me to see you off downstairs, so I won’t. Close the door when you leave,” Luke said while opening th
“Yes, Boss.” The man Abel called Haller grunted coldly as he put the gun away and stood next to Abel.Pierre looked at the rogue looks on their faces and regretted not having two bodyguards by his side. In comparison, he looked like he did not even qualify to talk to them.“Mr. Pierre, what do you want to talk to me about?” Abel asked with a wide grin.If it were not for Hera pestering him about Pierre threatening her, he would not have bothered coming over.He was not afraid of Pierre, but he did not want Hera to fall into Pierre’s hands. After all, she did look like Kassy in certain places. It would be a shame if she was taken away by someone like Pierre.“T Corporation got M Group’s project. I suppose you’re aware of it?” Pierre knew from today’s incident that Abel was not a simple person.Previously, he thought that he was just a thief who stole other people’s trade secrets without being in the public eye.Only today did he realize that he was the one who had been underestim
