"I can help. You have to trust me." Luca looked anxious. She could hear everything even though they were several shops away.The nearby businesses closed their doors in fright when they heard the gunshots."Dr. Craw, I'm carrying out the order given by the boss. You have to trust the boss. He can handle it." Rain still opted to stand in her way.Luca did not think that Luke could handle it.If his legs were not injured, it would have been fine. However, his legs were injured. He would not be able to dodge the bullets!"I'm sorry." Luca clenched her fists and was about to hit Rain when she heard the sound of sirens in the distance.The police were there.Luca turned around and saw two police cars speeding past.Rain said, "This is all arranged by the boss. He’ll be fine."Luca was worried. ‘Even if Luke has planned everything, can he predict where the bullets will go?’The gunshots sounded many times in just a few minutes. The situation inside was unknown. She could not help b
When she wanted to turn him down, she suddenly thought that if the contract signing went well tomorrow, she would be able to go back the day after tomorrow.She thought that Shanks must have something to talk to her about since he was looking for her. Hence, she agreed. "Okay, where should we meet?"Shanks gave her the address.After Luca wrote it down, she hung up the call.Although Shanks worked under Abel and belonged to the Island of Despair, Luca was aware that he had taught her a lot. She regarded their relationship as mentor-apprentice.Shanks never accepted apprentices, and she had never called him master either, but his kindness to her was not something she could ignore.Luca put on her coat and left the suite.Gale sat in the car and saw Luca walk out of the hotel. He immediately informed Luke and followed behind her taxi.Luke was at the police station but he did not forget to tell Gale to continue to follow Luca.He frowned when he saw the message from Gale. ‘Luca
Shanks noticed that she was hesitant. If he were stronger, Luca would not even have a chance to hesitate.He said, "You can ask someone to help, but I don't want the medicinal materials that are sent to me to be fake."Luca understood what he meant. If those at the stronghold found the relevant medicinal materials, they had to send them to her to check. Only after confirming that they were authentic could they send them to the Island of Despair."No problem." Luca clenched the photos in her hand. "I have a condition, which is that I won’t be asked to return to the Island of Despair.""Abel won't have you go back as long as you don't get caught, don't worry." Shanks understood Abel. "It's late. You should go now."Luca glanced at the time. She did not linger and hurried back as she was worried that Luke would not see her when he returned from the police station.She left with the photos and the list in her hand.Gale watched Luca leave the hotel and glanced at the time. He found
Luca nodded as she no longer felt anxious.After all, the signing of the contract was a done deal. Luca pushed Luke out of the suite. Jason and the others were already waiting for them downstairs in the hotel lobby. There were two cars parked at the hotel entrance. Mr. Zac and the other employees climbed into another car, while Jason helped Luke to get into the backseat of the Rolls-Royce. Luca got into the car too.The backseat of the car was spacious. Luca sat by the window and looked at the snow outside the window. Suddenly, Luke asked, "How's your wound?" "It's still healing. The stitches can be removed in two days," Luca said in a soft voice. She had been dressing her wound often this time and taking medicine. Her wound was able to heal quickly with the help of the medicine. "That fast?" Luke frowned. He remembered that her wound was a mass of bleeding flesh, and there was even some rotten flesh. The doctor at the hospital had debrided and sutured her wound. He told Lu
Not only was Luke alive and well, but those who were protecting him were not injured either!Pierre refused to believe that. Abel’s subordinates had carried guns, but no one on Luke’s side was injured. Were they blind?Pierre suspected that Abel deliberately chose some worthless men to carry out the mission this time. Even though the mission failed, Abel had gotten his money. Abel did not lose anything. Pierre could not calm himself down at the thought of this. He picked up his phone and called the string of numbers. The call was answered, and Pierre said, “I’m looking for Abel.”A woman’s voice came from the other end of the line. “We don’t have anyone called Abel here. You must have called the wrong number, right?”Pierre hung up the call and verified the numbers on the name card. He did not get it wrong, so he thought they must have gotten on the wrong line. Hence, he called again. It was the woman's voice again. "Hello?"Pierre suddenly realized that he could never get
Pierre was good at fighting, but Percy’s subordinates were good too. It seemed a little difficult for him to fight against two men.Percy leaned against the door and watched them, still not planning to interfere.Five minutes later, Pierre was breathless and exhausted. One of the bodyguards quickly covered Pierre’s nose with the towel while he was not paying attention.Pierre quickly came to his senses and struggled. However, before he could get away, his arms and legs were grabbed by the other bodyguard.He knew he was about to lose his consciousness. He struggled to look in the direction of the door. There was hatred in his eyes. Percy knew that his younger brother was a vindictive person.He would surely bear a grudge against Percy for how he treated him this time. Percy looked at Pierre, who was losing his consciousness. He sneered and said, “Bring him to the wharf.” Percy was planning to travel back by plane at first, but since Pierre refused to cooperate with him, he h
After they reached the hospital, Luca watched Luke take her medical records out of his briefcase. Luca knew he did not suggest she do a medical check-up out of the blue. Luke had already decided on behalf of her without getting her permission. Even if she refused to go, Luke would do whatever it took to send her to the hospital. Luca followed the nurse and headed to the examination room after they handled the formalities and paid the fees. Luke watched the curtains of the examination room get drawn. Then, he glanced at Jason and asked, “How long has the plaster cast been on my leg?”Jason was startled by the question. He counted on his fingers and answered, "Two more days until it’s a month.” Luke nodded and said to him, “I’d like to remove the cast now. Arrange it for me.” Jason nodded and replied, “Alright, Boss. Please wait for a while.”Jason trotted off to arrange it immediately. Removing the plaster cast was not something difficult, so after Jason communicated with
She had not heard anything from the kids…Luca knew the kids were worried that they might disturb her while she was working. That was why they did not send her any messages. She assumed that Luke had probably given them a reminder.Although Luca missed the kids, she did not disturb them. After all, the kids were getting ready to sleep at this hour. Luca read the previous messages between her and Tommy. She could not help but smile. It was a happy and blissful smile with a hint of bitterness. …On the other hand.Luke arrived at Ray’s villa. He did not ask the driver to drive him into the villa as the house was heavily guarded. Instead, he chose to get out of the car and asked the driver to return to the hotel. Then, he walked into the villa. Ray knew Luke had arrived, so he quickly sent Hansen to welcome him.Hansen received the order and drove his car out. He saw Luke was traveling on foot. Hansen could not help but feel impressed. The security system was upgraded once mo
