Chapter 2854

Due to the heavy traffic, it was already four hours later when Luca arrived at the police station.

She walked straight into the station and said to a police officer, "Hello, I'm Amur's sister, and I'm here tovouch for him."

The police officer's expression changed when he heard what Luca said.

The police station had detained three Russian individuals a few days ago. Two of them were held forpossessing illegal weapons.

The other person was mentioned by the woman in front of him, Amur.

However, what truly unsettled the police officer was what had happened in the past two days.

According to the officer on duty that day, after Amur beat Hoffman up, he was locked up with the othertwo Russian men.

Although they did not engage in a fight, they kept behaving oddly by tapping on the walls.

Officer Brown suspected it was some sort of Morse code and even sought an expert from A City todecipher it. However, the expert from A City had yet to crack the code, and now another incident hadoccurred.

Amur did not argue with the two Russian men. Based on the surveillance records, they had minimalcontact, and everything seemed calm.

However, the two Russian men collapsed after they had their lunch. Amur called for the police, andthey quickly transported the two men to the hospital, but they could not be saved.

According to the forensic investigation, the cause of death for these two men was poisoning.

The traces of poison were found in their stomachs.

The police officers were perplexed because the detained individuals were all served the same lunch,and only these two men died from poisoning after eating.

They suspected Amur, but when they reviewed the surveillance footage from the past two days, otherthan the few seconds when Amur was briefly out of the monitored area during his initial detention, hewas within the surveillance zone the rest of the time.

He only boxed and exercised...

At the same time, there was no apparent communication between Amur and the two Russian men.They did not seem familiar with each other.

Thus, the entire police station was at a loss regarding this matter.

Despite investigating Amur extensively, they had not been able to uncover anything concrete thus far.

Meanwhile, Amur had requested to ask someone to vouch for him.

The police did not have any evidence linking him to the deaths of the two Russian men. Hence, theyhad no choice but to comply with his request and notify Luca.

"What happened to Amur?" Luca noticed the change in the police officer's expression and worried thatsomething had happened to Amur when she was on her way to the police station.

"Nothing. Just go through the formalities." The police officer shook his head. They had receivedinstructions from above to keep the deaths of the two Russian men discreet for the time being. Therewere many procedures to handle because they were foreigners who died in X City.

"Alright." Luca nodded. Being able to go through the formalities meant that Amur was safe.

As long as he was unharmed, that was all that mattered to her.

Luca's worries eased.

The police officer took a few steps but then stopped and said to a female officer on duty, "Ms. Herrera,please assist this lady with the procedure."

Danielle glanced at the woman standing beside the police officer and secretly marveled at her beautybefore nodding and replying, "Alright. Please follow me."

Luca followed Danielle to a desk.

"Who are you vouching for?" asked Danielle, knowing that their police station currently had severaldetainees. After all, this was the suburban area of X City, where there was more crime compared to thedowntown area due to the presence of troublemakers.

"Amur. He's Russian," replied Luca.

Danielle's expression turned slightly strange when she heard the name. Without hesitation, she pulledout a folder and began processing the paperwork for Luca.

Luca also noticed Danielle's odd expression and felt even more perplexed.

The procedures were far from simple and took over 20 minutes. Finally, Luca caught sight of Amur.

Apart from looking a bit thinner, he seemed energetic, and there were no visible signs of injury on hisface.

Luca glanced through the information and understood why he was detained and for how long.

It had been several days since his detention when Amur finally had the police notify her to vouch forhim.

Luca understood that he was here to carry out a mission.

The two Russians who were caught by the police had probably met an unfortunate fate. Otherwise,Amur would not have contacted her.

Luca would not inquire about the details at the police station. She simply spoke to the slightly gauntAmur, "The procedures are done. The driver is waiting outside. Let's go." "Okay." Amur nodded,following Luca as she left.

Warren parked the car across the street from the police station. When he saw Luca walking out with aRussian man, he got out of the car and opened the door.

Luca and Amur each got into the car.

Once Warren returned to the car, he heard Luca say, "Warren, find a restaurant. Let's have a mealfirst."

"Alright, Ms. Craw. What would you like to eat?" Warren asked, opening the map app to search for well-known restaurants nearby.

Luca turned to look at Amur. He was detained for several days, so he must have had a rough time andnot eaten well.

"Amur, what would you like to eat?"

"Anything will do," replied Amur. It was the first thing he said to Luca after all those days.

Luca realized that Amur had no preferences. She said to Warren, "Just find a casual restaurant."

The taste of food in X City was similar to that of A City. Luca was not picky with food.

"Alright." Warren immediately selected a small restaurant with good reviews and ratings. After inputtingthe address into the navigation system, he started driving.

Luca did not speak to Amur while they were on their way to the restaurant.

Although Warren did not understand Russian, she could not possibly discuss matters about the Islandof Despair in front of him.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the three of them ordered a set meal. After finishing their meal,Warren drove them to a hotel.

Luca had made a hotel reservation on a hotel booking app.

Warren, who was holding their identification documents, got the room cards for the three pre-bookedrooms and handed two of them to Luca and Amur.

"Warren, you've been driving for a long time. Thanks for your hard work. Go upstairs and get somerest. We'll head back to A City tomorrow morning," said Luca as she took the room card and glanced atthe room number.

"Alright, Ms. Craw." Warren pressed the elevator button.

The three of them entered the elevator without saying anything.

Warren took a moment to observe Amur from the corner of his eye. He knew that Luca had ahalfbrother, but this was the first time he met him.

Having received training from Gale and Raine, Warren could observe someone keenly. The moment helaid eyes on Amur, he sensed that there was something different about his aura compared to ordinarypeople.

There was a faint, sweet scent mingled with a hint of blood.

Of course, this was an abstract metaphor. Warren simply felt that Amur was not an ordinary person.

He was not an ordinary person himself either. After undergoing training, he had been working under thecommand of Gale and Rain. He could handle a variety of tasks, and it was only because of hisexceptional driving skills that he was assigned to be Luca's chauffeur.novelbin

However, when it came to executing other missions, he was equally capable and competent. Healways pulled his weight.
