“It looks like you've taken a turn for the worse after her," said Luke. The old Gordan was not anything like this. He
was always ready to risk it all, yet now he needed help.
Gordan jumped and said, "This has nothing to do with that woman!"
He paused at the thought of Vivian and ignored the strange feeling in his heart. "It's because I'm getting older, and
they have guns. I even saw them transporting stuff inside. After some thought, it's possible that it could be things
like grenades."
Luke looked at the address on the computer screen and fell silent for quite a while.
When Gordan was about to doze off, he heard Luke say, "Have Rain send people to help."
"Rain? Forget it. I'll just give you a name." Gordan recalled the person who helped him move last time.
"Who?"
"Someone called Leroy. He helped you find Pierre last time," said Gordan. He practically knew every order Luke had
given others.
Including the fact that Leroy had dropped by Oswald's place before he went to help him move.
There was nothing in A City that could stop him from getting the information he wanted. Otherwise, it would be a
dishonor to his reputation in this world.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Leroy will be there tomorrow," Luke promised.
"Awesome! Luke, how do you plan on infiltrating the Island of Despair?" Satisfied, Gordan lit a cigarette and said.
"I have no clue as of now," said Luke. The reason why he easily got rid of Robert back then was that Gale and Rain
had stayed on the Island of Despair before, and so did he. However, unlike him, the two of them knew the island
inside out.
Now that there was a new Island of Despair, they knew nothing about it.
Luca did, but Luke did not want Luca to be in danger again or have anything to do with the Island of Despair.
"This won't do. Why don't you tell Sis the truth and let her help..." Gordon took a puff of his cigarette and squinted
his eyes. This cigarette was like no other. He had fallen in love with the cooling feeling after he got used to it, and
now, all other cigarettes were just subpar to him.
"She can't be involved in this." Luke was afraid that Gordan would disturb Luca, so deepened his voice to warn him,
"Don't mention this in front of her."
Gordan had no choice but to comply. "I'm not interested in meddling in your marriage, so I won't mention it to her.
Don't worry." "Marcos will be in A City tomorrow, and he'll bring someone with him. I'll contact you then if needed,"
said Luke. He would not be able to take care of this Island of Despair situation on his own. He still needed the help
of Gordan, the Mallory family, and the Holston family.
"Alright, Boss. It's getting late, so I'll go get some rest." Gordan hung up the phone as soon as he was done.
Luke put the phone aside and opened his drawer to take out a cigarette case he had not touched in a long time.
His slender fingers picked up a cigarette. Then he picked up the lighter beside him to light it up. He placed the
cigarette between his thin lips and took a puff before blowing a smoke ring.
He had not smoked in a long time.
If it were not for the Island of Despair that was giving him a hard time, he would not have pulled out the cigarette.
Luke slowly got up and walked to the window to open it.
The cool breeze calmed him down.
The Island of Despair was tricky, and if he did not do a good job handling them this time, what would happen to his
future with Luca? He was terrified at the thought of it.
He hated this feeling of not being in control.
Luca could not leave him!
Luke put out the cigarette and sat down at his desk again. After saving the address Gordan gave him, he opened up
a software and retrieved the blurred portrait shots Leroy had gotten from Pierre. Then, he uploaded them and
pressed search.
This was a global search system that could identify a person from just a picture.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was a huge project, but Luke knew that he had to find the person who was behind the Island of Despair.
Of course, he knew that he must have changed his appearance to meet Pierre, but no matter how much he
changed his look, the contour of one's face would not change.
Thus, even if it would be difficult to identify him, he still wanted to use the search system to check one by one.
As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up.
The next day.
When Luca woke up, she looked beside her out of habit.
It was empty. Luke was not there.
Luca turned sideways and touched the bed. It was as cold as ice. She tried to recall last night, and she did not
remember Luke coming in after she fell asleep.
She sat up and frowned as she looked toward the door.
Was he there the entire night?
Who called him yesterday? Why did Luke become so busy that he did not sleep after that call?
Luca got out of bed, washed up, and paced outside of the opposite bedroom for some time. She even leaned on
the door to listen.
The house was very well soundproofed, so she could not hear a thing.
After standing for about half a minute, Luca decided to knock on the door.
