Female Novel
Chapter 2775
"Okay, I'll send someone over to support you." Percy decided immediately.
He had been thinking about what Gordan said to him all night.
He was worried that Pierre might not return even after he gave them the money. However, he was leftwith no other choice at that time.
He could not find where Pierre was. Hence, he had no choice but to accept the conditions of the Islandof Despair, even if they might kill Pierre after getting the money.
Handing off the ransom was risky.
Still, he did not tell Old Master Mallory about it.
Old Master Mallory was not particularly rational at the moment. If he said such things impulsively,others might misunderstand that he had no intention to save Pierre.
However, Gordan gave him another choice now.
Even though it was risky, it could ensure that Pierre would come out alive.
Luke saw the look on Percy's face and reminded him, "There are risks in this operation. You still haveto prepare the cash, and it has to be more than before. You can use the ransom to save him if themission fails."
Luke only said so as he had considered all the situations.
If Gordan's mission failed and he failed to rescue Pierre, Percy could still negotiate with them using theransom.
However, after this operation, Percy would have to pay more ransom to make sure they agreed torelease Pierre.
"I'll prepare another ten million dollars," said Percy.
He agreed with what Luke said.
Gordan, who was on the other end of the phone, protested, "Hey, hey, hey. I'm a professional and acapable rescuer. Have more faith in me. I can definitely save Pierre."
He could not guarantee that Pierre would be rescued completely unscathed, but at least he could makesure that he was alive...
However, the two people on the other end of the line seemed to have little confidence in him. Theywere already getting ready for plan B.
It was a great insult to him!
"Okay," replied Luke as he thought it was enough.
Luke asked Percy to prepare plan B to get ready for the worst-case scenario.
In fact, he still had confidence in Gordan. He also had a few subordinates who would be going withhim. Therefore, there should be no problem.
However, nothing was set in stone.
What if...
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't ignore me. Go find someone else if you don't trust me. I quit!" Gordan did notreally mean it. He was just complaining about being ignored and expressing his dissatisfaction.
He considered himself a protagonist of this operation, after all.
Luke spoke to the person on the other end of the line, "There'll be a video conference tonight to discussthe details of the rescue operation. Get a plan ready before nightfall."
After that, he hung up the call.
As Leroy listened to the busy tone coming from the phone, he could not help but chuckle.
"It looks like Boss just hung up on you, huh?"
"Nonsense! He accidentally pressed the button. I'm the core figure now. He wouldn't hang up on me,"Gordan rolled his eyes, denying that he had been hung up on.
It was too embarrassing to admit it.
"Sure. I believe you," teased Leroy. He was not a childish person, and he would make lightheartedjokes or tease someone a bit as long as it was done in good fun and not taken too far.
Gordan snorted and walked to the window, asking the person who was monitoring the house acrossthe street, "What's going on?"
"The heat source is still the same. The person is still in the same room. But he seems to be movingaround a bit today. His movements are a little strange. They're not very smooth, and he's still in thesame room," answered the man. He was Leroy's subordinate.
When Leroy came over, he knew what mission he was assigned to. Hence, he brought a few men whocould help Gordan.
"Not very smooth, huh?" Gordan smirked. "Perhaps someone broke his leg."
He was just joking, but Leroy asked, "How did you know? Did you see him limp when you were lookingat the monitor?"
"I was just kidding. Did you really fall for it? The monitor only showed someone carrying him out ofrange. I didn't see him walk. How would I know?" replied Gordan.
Leroy snorted when he realized he had been fooled by Gordan. Then, he said, "But perhaps it's true.Pierre is such a troublemaker. It could save them the trouble if they broke one of his legs. A limpingperson wouldn't be able to run away that fast. They won't have to worry too much. It'll be easier tocontrol him if they break one of his legs."
"Who knows? We'll find out soon enough," replied Gordan as he picked up his instrument to observethe house across the street.
Sure enough, the person who was in the room started walking, and his walking posture was indeedvery strange just as the man had described.
"Looks like a cripple," Gordan murmured.
In A City.
Nighttime.
Luke had not gone home yet. He was still at the company, having a video conference with Gordan,Percy, and Jim.
They were discussing how to rescue Pierre, who was kidnapped.
After Jim learned the exact address from Gordan where they hid Pierre, he could not help but exclaim,"You're quite impressive, kid. You actually found him. Is there anyone you can't find?"
"Yes. Brother Luke when he got kidnapped before this," replied Gordan.
When Luke was kidnapped by Island of Despair back then, Gordan personally investigated it along withthe men from the Lacroix family, the Holston family, and Mallory family.
However, they still did not know who took Luke and where he was taken.
They could only continue their search while hoping that the kidnappers would call.
In the end, they found nothing, and no kidnappers called. Gordan was once deeply consumed byselfblame.
If it were not for him messing with Vivian in order to complete his mission and getting trapped by Ray,he would not have had to ask Luke for help. Luke would not have gotten himself into trouble either.
Gordan blamed himself. He was regretful, but he just could not find Luke no matter what.
Luke eventually escaped from Island of Despair and let them know of its existence.novelbin
"Let's not talk about the past." Luke was not keen on bringing up his time on Island of Despair.
After all, if it were not for that incident, Luca would not have suffered so much and been kidnapped bythe organization. She had her appearance changed and was forced to do things she did not want to doas a result.
What happened in the past was still very much relevant in the present.
It pained Luke deeply at the thought of what Luca had gone through.
If only his desire for revenge was not that strong and if only he did not team up with Percy and theothers to destroy the previous Island of Despair... Perhaps Luca would still be Bianca today.
Even though there would still be trouble coming their way, Luca would not have to end up in such astate...
Gordan fell silent at the thought of everything that had happened. He seemed to have touched on thetopic that Luke was least willing to talk about.
Luca falling into the hands of the Island of Despair was ultimately Luke's biggest regret.
