Chapter 2056
"Me?" Luca frowned.
Abel kept his gun and sneered, "You're the one who caused me the losses. Of course, you should bethe one to carry out this mission. If you can get my guns back, I'll go easy on you for what happened.Otherwise, you'll have to make up for my losses with your life!"
Shanks thought something was wrong. Before he could say anything, Abel stopped him.
"Stop speaking up for her. If you go any further, I'll have to ask you if you've fallen for this b*tch. If that'strue, I'll send her back to the island right now and you can marry her. Then you can become a father.
You're very fond of her daughter, right?"
Shanks shook his head and shut his mouth.
That was all he could do for Luca.
Luca had to depend on herself to retrieve the guns and get them out of the police station.
"I can't do this alone." Luca knew she had no other choice, so she could only ask Abel to send somehelp.
She had never come in contact with Russian police officers before. There was no way she couldexplore the whole police station alone.
"I'll send help. And the goal is to retrieve the guns." Abel took a cigar out. He lit the cigar and took adeep puff.
"What if I can't get them back?" Luca asked. She was not certain about this.novelbin
"If you fail to get them back, you can either pay me back the money spent to get those guns, or you cansearch for the same firearms and return them to me. Otherwise, you'll have to pay for them with yourlife!" Abel gave her a few options. Then, he rose to his feet and walked into one of the rooms.
Luca stood there, looking at Shanks.
Shanks reminded Luca when he made sure Abel had left, "That batch of firearms are the latestweapons developed by arms dealers in the black market. They have high damage capacity and a longshooting range. They're brand new weapons. Many people are looking to have them and there's a highdemand but not enough supplies."
Luca pursed her lips. She did not expect Abel to spend so much money to purchase advancedweapons to assassinate Luke.
"Is he really thinking of killing Luke?" Luca asked.
Shanks sneered. “How am I supposed to know about that? Perhaps he is. You should go back. He'll beback soon."
He was talking about Luke.
Luca nodded. It would be difficult for her to explain to Luke if he saw her walking out of this room.
Luca headed to the door.
Abel's subordinate called out to her before she left, "Ivana, Boss said you should make your movearound one a.m. He'll send the information about the police station to your email. Make sure you figureit out in a few hours!"
Luca's hand, which was holding the doorknob, clenched tightly. She had to do this for the sake of herchild and Luke.
She did not have that much money to pay Abel back.
Shanks stood up and walked to Abel's room after Luca left. He pushed the door open. Abel wassmoking inside.
He could see the fierce look on Abel's face. It seemed like he was still annoyed.
Abel had been poor since he was young. That was why he was exceptionally concerned about money.The only thing that Abel would be willing to spend a huge amount of money on without asking foranything in return was Kassy.
As far as he knew, Abel's parents died because of poverty, disease, and war. Before Abel was left todie with his parents, he was adopted by Robert.
Robert, as the former boss of the Island Of Despair, had countless resources and wealth. However,Abel did not change his way of thinking because of this.
Abel thought money could give him the strongest sense of security. Hence, he saw money assomething particularly important even when others were promoting the idea that money would comeand go.
He would do whatever was necessary to make money. That was one of his goals too.
Therefore, he would do the same this time.
Something happened that made him realize how important money was. That was why he becameworse and took money even more seriously.
It was when Kassy got tricked by Luke, then she was caught and imprisoned. Abel thought of rescuingher that time, but most of the forces told him that they would only get her out if he could pay them.Otherwise, there would be no deal.
Back then, all the resources of the Island of Despair had been taken by the Russian government. Abelhad no money.
Hence, he missed out on the chance and perfect timing to get Kassy out of prison. Those who went torescue her after that did not manage to save her.
"Why are you here?" Abel sounded a little depressed. He could not be bothered that much just now. Allhe wanted was to kill Luca.
"Were you really planning on killing Luca just now?" Shanks asked.
"Are you really interested in that b*tch? What a pity. She'll only love that man wholeheartedly. No matterhow kind you are to her, she'll turn her back on you like a snake. Just a reminder, if you really like her,you'll have to do it the hard way and make her willing to stay beside you. Otherwise, you'll regret it oneday." Abel took a puff on his cigar and slowly exhaled a smoke ring.
"I'm not interested in Luca."
Abel mocked him and said, "But you keep helping her."
"She's the only one who has picked up my skills. If she dies, I'll have to train another person again. It'stoo troublesome," replied Shanks.
Abel let out a laugh without saying anything. He would be stuck in an endless argument with Shanks ifhe continued.
Shanks did not continue talking about Luca. After all, there was nothing he could do to help her withwhat she had to do later. It was up to Luca, and her situation had nothing to do with him.
He had already saved her from getting shot by Abel.
"I've already bought tobacco and the other ingredients. I'll return to the island later," said Shanks.
"Alright. If there are too many things for you to carry, ask someone at the stronghold to help you tocarry them back," replied Abel.
"There aren't many of them. Most of the things are just your tobacco. I'll ask your men to send thatback. I'll bring the rest myself. Those men of yours are pretty ignorant. I can't leave the others to themwithout worrying about them."
Abel could not help but mock him, "Speaking of which, I was wondering... If the medicinal herbs andLuca are placed in front of you and you're only allowed to save one of them, who would you choose tosave?"
Shanks looked at Abel without an expression on his face and replied, "The herbs."
"You're not saying that against your will, right?" Abel was observing the expression on Shanks' face.However, it seemed like Shanks was pretty sure about it.
"The herbs are the most important." Shanks turned around and closed the door. The room was filledwith a strong tobacco smell. He could not stand to be in the room for another second. It made him feeluncomfortable.
Abel shook his head. Shanks was pretty interesting.
He was the only one who dared to save Ivana and her daughter in front of him.
He was not as ruthless as the others on the Island of Despair, but he enjoyed hiding on the Island ofDespair to do his research.
Honestly, it would be difficult for the Island of Despair if they were to lose someone like Shanks. Thatwas why Abel would not go against Shanks if it did not involve the benefits and interests of the
organization.
Besides, Ivana.
Abel did not truly want her dead. Even so, he needed someone to make up for the losses.
