Chapter 2855

However, Warren still felt that Amur was more capable than him.

It was quiet in the elevator. Luca noticed that Warren was sizing up Amur.

She remained silent. Once the elevator reached the floor, she was the first to step out to find her room.

Luca swiped the card and opened the door to the room, but she did not enter. Instead, she looked atAmur, who was next door, and said, "Clear your mind. Rest early."

Amur's eyes darkened. It was as though he was contemplating something, but he eventually nodded,indicating that he would follow her words.

Luca was worried that he had something else to do.

However, the task given by Abel had already been completed. There would not be any immediateassignments soon.

After entering the suite, Amur first inspected the surroundings of the room.

The room was not particularly spacious. It was around 20 square meters. He searched all the placeswhere surveillance or bugging devices might be hidden but found nothing. Then, he sat down in a chair.

This was a hotel Luca had booked, so there should not be any problems.

Amur took his phone and charger out, plugging them into the socket.

His phone was confiscated by the police when he was detained, so it was normal for the battery to bedepleted.

When the screen of his phone lit up, he sent a text message to an unfamiliar number.

He informed the people of the Island of Despair that he had accomplished his mission. The two men atthe police station were dead. Moreover, even if the police suspected him, they would not be able to findanything.

After a while, his phone vibrated. Amur opened it and read the message: [0317, well done.]

0317 was his code name.

Previously, when he was taken to the Island of Despair to receive training, he did not have a name.Even though some people knew his name was Amur, they still referred to him as 0317.

0316 was Luca's code name.

They started their training one after the other. Everyone on the Island of Despair called Amur by hiscode name except Abel. Amur was fine with it.

After all, the only ones qualified to address him by his name were Eler and Luca...

There were knocks on his door.

Amur rose to his feet and walked to the door, peering through the peephole to confirm it was Lucabefore opening it. "Why aren't you resting yet?"

"It's still early." Luca walked straight into his room.

Amur closed the door. It was indeed still early. Luca did not have the habit of resting so early.

"Have you checked the place?" asked Luca. Even though she booked the hotel rooms at the lastminute, she still felt uneasy. As soon as she entered her room, she checked the surroundings to ensurethere were no monitoring or surveillance devices. Only after checking the room did she feel relievedand come to find Amur.

"I have. It's clear,” replied Amur. While undergoing training on the Island of Despair for such a longtime, they had encountered various cutting-edge technologies from around the world, and they knewthe horrors of these surveillance devices.

If the Island of Despair wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation and they did not perform a check,they could be under their surveillance within minutes.

Perhaps from the moment Luca made the room booking, those from the Island of Despair already knewwhere they would be staying tonight.

Luca nodded and glanced at the room. Amur had already drawn the curtains. Even if someone waswatching them from across, they could only rely on thermal imaging devices and would not be able tosee any specific images.

Luca asked, "Your mission was to deal with those two men?"

Luca's frankness did not surprise Amur much. She was so clever that it would have been strange if shehad not guessed it correctly.

"Yes." Amur nodded.

Luca took out a piece of paper from her pocket. "How did you complete the mission?"

Her graceful handwriting revealed her cautiousness. Despite checking, she was still worried aboutsomeone secretly monitoring or eavesdropping.

If she asked Amur questions and he answered, it might let someone have something on him. Havingsomething on Amur would be a threat to him, as well as to herself.

Luca would not allow Amur to be in danger. If the other party held recordings as evidence against him,she would be forced to comply passively.

Amur took the pen she handed him and wrote down how he completed the mission.

[I got two pills from the base. You know how I got in. Then, I evaded surveillance and gave them thepills. They took the pills yesterday.] Amur quickly wrote down the words. After he confirmed that Lucahad finished reading it, he swiftly got rid of the evidence.

Luca nodded. She had also suspected that Amur would use the pills.

After all, with the police officers and surveillance cameras installed there, there was no other way thatwas safer and more reliable.

Amur managed to walk away unharmed.

Luca's heart raced a little. Her expression turned grim at the thought of Amur using pills to deal withthose two men.

The amount of blood on their hands was far more than the blood on her and Amur's hands...

That was why she did not sympathize with those two men. They were not the only ones in a dangeroussituation—so were Luca and Amur.

It would be easy for Abel to abandon them. Even if she developed an antidote now, as long as theIsland of Despair still existed, they would be on the run...

There were plenty of assassins who were more skilled than them on the Island of Despair.

Luca wrote another question. [Have the police investigated you?]

[They did, but they have no evidence.] Amur was clever enough. He did not make them eat the pills onthe first day he was detained.

Instead, he waited several days until the police noticed that Amur, Alexsei, and Kazimir had nointeraction. Only then did he allow them to take the pills he had given them in advance.

Once the effects of the poison kicked in, they were rushed to the hospital, but it was futile.

The hospital could not determine the composition of the poison that Shanks made. The only residuethey could possibly find would be in their stomach fluids...

Amur believed that he had executed his plan flawlessly.

Luca let out a sigh of relief. She rose to her feet and said, "You take care of that. Also, get some rest."

"What happened to him?” asked Amur.

Luca was taken aback, not realizing who he was referring to. "Who?"

"Pierre Mallory," replied Amur. Pierre had been taken away by Luke's men. Amur did not feel anyremorse or anger about it.

After all, Pierre did not manage to receive treatment for his broken leg in time.novelbin

Even though Alexsei tried to treat Pierre's leg, he was ultimately not a professional. Amur believed thateven if someone managed to save Pierre, there was a high probability that his leg would be rendereduseless. Even Johann would not be able to salvage his leg.

"I'm not sure about the specifics, but he's in a private hospital being taken care of now. I heard thatthere's a high probability that his leg is permanently damaged," answered Luca. It was Luke and Ninawho relayed the information to her.

The happiest person knowing that Pierre was a cripple was Nina.

Nina decided not to argue with Pierre anymore for Percy's sake.

The person who had hurt her had received his punishment now. Nina saw it as karma, a punishmentfrom above for Pierre.

The once lofty and esteemed second young master of the Mallory family had now become a cripple.Even if the Mallory family helped him to clean up the mess, how could he continue to be the illustriousPierre Mallory?
