Chapter 2550
"I'll head home to cook now." Luca made an excuse, hurriedly unlocked the door, and walked into theapartment.
As she stared at the closed apartment door, Mrs. Selley shuddered and sighed as she said,"Youngsters today are so bold. They dare to live anywhere."
Mrs. Selley thought of the gust of wind that blew when the door closed just now and shuddered again."That house is spine-chilling."
Luca walked into the apartment and found that the lights were on, indicating that Amur had returned.
"Amur?" she called out to him.
The apartment was empty, and her voice was the only thing that proved that someone was there. Lucawas puzzled, so she picked up the phone and called him.
Amur answered as soon as the call was connected.
"Amur, why aren't you in the apartment?" Luca asked.
"I'm doing some shopping," Amur replied.
Luca could hear that the background on his end was a bit noisy. He seemed to be on the street, so shesaid, "Okay, I'll start cooking now. Come after you're done shopping."
"Mm," Amur replied.
After Luca hung up the call, she walked into the kitchen with the bags to prepare dinner.
The apartment, which had been unoccupied for several months, had been cleaned by Amur. Thekitchen was spotless. It seemed that Amur had cleaned everything to prepare for her arrival.
Luca opened the bag, took out the ingredients, and got busy.
As she was halfway through preparing dinner, Amur returned to the apartment and heard some soundsfrom the kitchen. A faint smile appeared on his chilly face.
He liked days like this when he could see her or hear the noises that she made as soon as he openedthe door.
Days like this felt like how life should be and gave him hope.
Amur thought of the gloom on the Island of Despair and sighed. Sure enough, no one wanted to livetheir whole lives underground.
However, they had no choice but to accept it considering the environment that they were in.
After he had experienced such a life full of fireworks, he would dream back to those times when he wason the Island of Despair.
"Amur, are you back?" Luca asked from the kitchen. She seemed to have heard the door open, but sheasked since she did not hear Amur's voice.
"It's me," Amur replied.
"Mm, go wash your hands. Dinner is ready," Luca said as she placed the burgers that she cooked on aplate.
Amur had a large appetite, so she packed a full plate for him.
After that, she took some roasted fish out of the oven.
She prepared several dishes for him on top of the burgers he requested.
Amur walked into the kitchen, and the aroma of the food stimulated his taste buds. "It smells delicious."
"They're all your favorite dishes! Will you help me carry them out?" Luca glanced at him. 'Sure enough,he lost weight again.'
Amur, who finally gained some weight in A City, lost weight after he returned to the Island of Despair.
The food on the Island of Despair was not great, and he had to go through a lot of training every day. Itmade sense that he would lose weight.
Amur nodded and walked out carrying the dishes she prepared.
Luca filled two bowls of soup and walked to the dining room. "You lost weight. You should eat more fordinner."
"I have to train every day I'm on the Island of Despair, and the food they cook is extremelyunpalatable," Amur said with disgust in his tone.
"Eat more." Luca handed him the utensils.
"Thank you." Amur was not shy and dug in right away. After he had several burgers, he slowly breatheda sigh of relief and said, "It feels good."novelbin
"Mm?" Luca looked at him with some confusion.
"I've been thinking about having your food for a few months now. When I took the first bite, I felt like Iwas dreaming. It wasn't until I took several bites that it felt real. It turns out that I wasn't dreaming."Amur let out a long sigh of relief.
Luca smiled and replied, "That's exaggerated. Try the other dishes."
Amur took a piece of roasted fish and put it in his mouth, then gave Luca a thumbs up. "It's delicious."
"Eat slowly. We're not in a hurry." Seeing the speed at which he chewed, Luca wondered if Abel hadput him in some refugee area in the last few months, one where he could not eat nor live well.
"You're not planning to have me finish everything, right?" Amur raised his eyebrows when he saw herstop eating.
Luca smiled and picked up her utensils to eat some burgers.
When she saw how Amur ate, she swore to herself that she would develop the antidote so that he andEler could eat whatever they want in the future and no longer have to survive in that kind ofenvironment.
After dinner, Amur took the initiative to clean up the dishes.
Luca put her phone on the coffee table and walked out to the balcony to get some fresh air.
The weather had warmed up a bit, but the temperature at night was still low. She felt cold whenever thewind blew.
However, she wanted the cold wind to make her mind clearer.
After dinner, it was time to talk business.
For example, Amur mentioned that the target of his mission was someone she was familiar with. 'Whois this familiar person?'
After Amur washed the dishes, he walked out to the balcony and the cold wind blew in his face. Hesighed and said, "The cold wind is more comfortable than a warm breeze."
“At least it clears your head," Luca said as she looked at him. "Do you have your phone and the otheritems safe?"
"Yeah." Amur nodded. He knew what Luca wanted to talk about.
"My target is Pierre Mallory," he said.
Luca was a little surprised. She had thought that it could be several others. For example, Gale orRain...
After all, they had betrayed the Island of Despair. It was normal for Abel to abolish Luke's left andrighthand men as revenge.
It also could be Percy. After all, he had a part in destroying the Island of Despair.
She never expected it to be Pierre.
"How could it be him?" Luca asked in surprise.
"It's him," Amur said. "He was warned once or twice but continued to challenge Abel."
His ungratefulness had completely angered Abel and turned him into the target of Amur's mission.
"Wasn't he working with Abel before?" Luca knew that Abel would not usually assassinate his clients.
Being credible was important in his industry. He would complete the task, collect his money, and thetransaction was done. He would no longer care about the other party.
If the other party's nemesis placed an order to have him hurt, he would build on their previousrelationship and turn down the order. He would even drop a gentle reminder to the other party and bepaid an intelligence fee.
As such, the Island of Despair was having more and more orders in recent years, leading to the growthin its power.
"Pierre only has himself to blame. He keeps challenging the boss' patience," Amur said. He was toldthe reason why when they announced that Pierre was the mission target.
As such, Amur knew everything.
Luca stayed silent, waiting for Amur to continue talking.
"The proposal he bought previously was a backup copy set up as a trap by Luke. The plan didn't workand he seems to think Abel played him. He's been asking for the money back," Amur said.
