Chapter 677 It's Almost Time For Him To Leave
Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean was the Island of Despair.
One could not find the island on any map. Its existence was like a phantom on the gray-blue oceansurface. Constantly shrouded in fog, it was isolated from the rest of the world.
Sharp and jagged reefs like devils' teeth surrounded the island, threatening to rip apart anyone whowent near.
The first rays of the rising sun appeared on the horizon.novelbin
A tall and well-built man leaned on a reef. His handsome face was like sculpted marble, and hisprofound eyes were like polished agate.
He pressed his lips tightly as he gazed at the endless ocean and a hidden bay in front of him.
At the edge of the bay was a large steel cage.
Locked in the cage were a thin man and woman, as well as a drugged lion.
The people were fighting bare-handed with the lion.
How could two weak and starved people be a match for the berserk lion?
The two people attacked the lion together, but they were also badly injured.
Very soon, their battered bodies were ripped into pieces and became the lion's meal...
Such scenes were not uncommon on the island, but Luke clenched his fists tightly to suppress the urgeof destroying everything!
No one knew that the isolated island was a secret base for the League of Shadows, an elite assassinorganization.
Every year, the organization would gather people with extraordinary abilities using variousunderhanded methods, drug them, and transport them to the island to undergo assassination training.
Human lives were as worthless as insects on the island. Even animals were treated better.
The only way to survive was to be stronger than anyone else.
Escape was out of the question. The island was heavily guarded by mercenaries and various high-techtraps. Even a fly could not escape.
The consequences of being caught were extreme.
Luke had known the existence of such terrifying assassin organizations. However, he could not helpbut throw up when he saw Robert flay a deserter alive.
Kassy had hypnotized him and erased his past memories, but Robert did not fully trust him. That waswhy Luke was sent to the island.
In other words, he was imprisoned there with the other assassins to undergo the same training.
The people on the island were wary of Luke because Kassy was there too, and also because Robertfavored his incredibly intelligent mind. That was why Luke managed to survive in that hellish place.
However, when Robert and Kassy were not around, those people bullied and tormented Luke. Eventhough Luke had a black belt in karate, he was considered a weakling to those depraved killers, and hewould be beaten to a pulp every time, 1
In the most serious case, he suffered from gastric perforation and vomited blood for an entire month.
No one tended to him.
When Robert found out about it, he said nonchalantly, "Suck it up and live, or give up and die."
Fortunately, Luke had studied herbology on his own in college. He managed to keep himself alive byforaging for medicinal herbs on the island. 1
To improve his situation and increase Robert's trust, he finagled countless riches for Robert throughmany backdoor deals with his prodigious intelligence.
Every time Luke sunk into despair, he told himself that he would bear with it and leave this place alive.
He wanted nothing more than to meet his beloved wife and children again.
Bianca Rayne, Bianca Rayne!
His heart wrenched whenever he was reminded of that name.
Luke was an arrogant and domineering man. He thought that nothing in the world could be an obstaclefor him. It was only when he was imprisoned on the island that he knew how weak he was.
In two years, he had risen through the ranks and brought a big part of the core organization under hisinfluence. No one knew the torment he had suffered as his power grew by the day.
It was almost time to leave this place.
Once he got out, he would make sure that this hell on earth would disappear forever!
T Corporation.
When Sue went to the CEO's office to hand in some documents, she saw Bianca sitting on the Persiancarpet playing catch with Tommy.
Bianca was dressed in a sleeveless black dress, and her hair was tied up in a ponytail. She did notwear any makeup, but her features were eyecatching. The fair and plump toddler sitting next to her feetwas irresistibly cute.
Tommy reached out toward Sue when he saw her. "Auntie Sue... hug... candy..."
Tommy loved sweet stuff, especially candy.
Bianca forbade him to eat candy. It was not good for the toddler's health, and she did not want Tommyto grow up to be a picky eater.
Moreover, the toddler was teething. Bianca did not want her son to have cavities.
Sue doted on Tommy, even more so than her twin daughters. She felt sorry that the little boy had losthis father, and she would also bring some candy in her pocket so that she could sneakily give them toTommy.
That was why Tommy was very clingy to Sue.
Right after Sue picked him up, Tommy instantly raided her pockets.
"You tiny glutton!" Sue planted a wet kiss on Tommy's cheek.
She took out a piece of gummy candy for her pocket, unwrapped it, and prepared to stuff it in hismouth.
"You shouldn't spoil him. He's already eaten his candy today. He’s had enough!" Bianca said sternlyand reached out to grab the candy.
Seeing that his mother was going to take away his candy, Tommy opened his mouth and let out anearth-shaking wail.
Bianca looked helplessly at the toddler's face. He looked so much like his father. "I knew you're goingto do that, you crybaby."
She placed the candy in Tommy's mouth, which caused him to instantly stop crying and break out inlaughter. His eyes were half-closed, his tiny fists were clenched, and his bare feet were kicking around.He was too cute.
Sue could feel her heart melting. "He sure does like sweet stuff. I thought only girls like sweet stuff."
Bianca smiled gently. "That's from his dad. Luke loves sweet stuff."
Bianca's gaze lost some vitality when Luke's name was mentioned.
Sue sighed, but what Bianca said after that nearly caused her to recoil in shock!
