Chapter 2027

"Alright." Gordan nodded and entered the elevator together with Luke.

Jason swiped the room card when they reached Luke's room. Then, he returned to his room aftersending Luke back.

Luca knew that they had something to talk about, so she said, "Mr. Crawford, I'm going back to myroom first. Just knock on the door if there's anything you need."

"Okay." Luke nodded.

Luca walked into another room and closed the door while Gordan looked at her.

Gordan's jaw dropped as he was startled. As a subordinate, Luca was staying in the same suite asLuke. Although they were staying in different rooms, it was still inappropriate to do so.

Gordan would not be so surprised if Jason was staying in the next room beside hers.

Luke noticed the oddness in his eyes and said calmly, "Let's go into the room and talk about it.""Alright, Brother Luke." Gordan took the initiative to push Luke's wheelchair and walk into the room.After he closed the door, Gordan could not help but ask, "Brother Luke, why are you staying togetherwith Luca?"

"Is there a problem?" Luke noticed the gossipy look on Gordan's face and wondered if Gordan camehere to gossip about this.

Gordan pondered for a moment. It seemed like there was nothing wrong with it.

Previously, he could sense that Luke seemed to have unusual feelings for Luca.

Gordan shook his head and replied, "No..."

"It's convenient for her to take care of me if she stays here." Luke glanced at his leg and gave Gordana hint.

"Oh, so it's because of your injured leg," Gordan deliberately drawled, indicating to Luke that herefused to believe it.

Luca could take care of Luke, but Jason could do that too. However, Luke chose Luca. Did that notprove that Luke had feelings for her?

"I'm not interested in being taken care of by a man." Luke knew what he was thinking about, so heexplained it with a cold expression on his face.

Luke was trying to hit on Luca, but he felt rightful about it because Luca was his wife.

Was there any problem if he was trying to hit on his wife?

"What a coincidence. I'm not interested in that either. It's better for a pretty woman to take care of me.So, Brother Luke, you don't have to explain it to me. I understand." Gordan acted like he completelyunderstood why Luke did that.

Luke did not take his words seriously and asked, “What would you like to know?”

“Brother Luke, you know me too well." Gordan sat down on the sofa and clapped his hands. He lookedLuke in the eyes and said, "There are some things I'd like to ask you."

"I heard about you and Vivian. You can ask me anything other than that. I'll tell you if I know about it,"said Luke. He could see how protective Ray was over Vivian, so he was not planning to interfere withVivian and Gordan's matter.

Gordan shrugged his hands and said, "I'm not planning to ask about that woman either."

Luke raised his brows. It seemed like he really hated Vivian. If he knew Gordan had been upset allthese years, he would have asked Gordan to cut one of his arms off for Ray.

"I heard that someone broke into Ray's villa. What's going on?" Gordan asked.

Luke was not surprised that Gordan had found out about it as he deliberately asked someone to spreadthe news.

Luke did not answer him immediately. Instead, he raised his brows and looked at the man in front ofhim.

Gordan added immediately, "Don't worry. I'm not asking you about Vivian's situation. I'm just curiousabout what happened last night and which organization sent someone to sneak into Ray's house. I'masking this not because I'm worried about Vivian's safety. You know what my job is. I have to keepmyself in the loop of things."

"The man who broke into the villa last night is from the Island of Despair," said Luke. Ray wouldannounce the news soon, so he did not conceal it.

"Island of Despair? That's impossible." Gordon refused to believe it. Would an organization wiped outby Luke be able to stand up again?novelbin

"It's not the first time. It's been chaotic these days. I'm guessing those who caused trouble previouslyare people from the Island of Despair too," Luke told him his speculation.

Gordan's brows furrowed even more. "Is there any evidence?"

"There's none for the previous incidents, but we have evidence this time. The man who broke in injuredtwo bodyguards. He eventually got caught and we found a tattoo similar to the tattoo of Island ofDespair on his body. It's just that there's a slight difference in the middle of the tattoo. The rest are

more or less the same. I've seen the photo. Not only is the Island of Despair planning to mess thingsup here, but they've even arranged and placed someone by my side. I've dealt with that woman. Shehad the same tattoo on her," said Luke. He did not tell Gordan that the person who was placed by hisside looked exactly like Bianca.

"So, it's the Island of Despair..." Gordan stroked his chin. It pricked a little after not shaving his stubblefor days. He withdrew his hand and said, "No one noticed that the organization was rebuilt back then.Besides, they always had an army and satellite surveillance at their strongholds. It's unlikely that theywould go back to the same places, though. Where are they now?"

"I'm not sure either." Luke was confused too. They had been keeping a close watch on the previousstrongholds of the Island of Despair and also the islands near Russia. Still, there were no traces ofthem.

However, the Island of Despair had its way of quietly sneaking into a place.

Therefore, Luke was not concerned about where their strongholds were. What confused him more wasthe mastermind's identity who was in charge of the organization. Although Luca did not have any tattooon her, there was still a chance that she might be related to the organization.

"I'll have to look into this. But I wonder why no one suspected it was the Island of Despair behind whathappened not long ago. Brother Luke, you're impressive," Gordan complimented him.

Luke shook his head. If it were not for the imposter Bianca, how could he possibly know so much aboutit? "Everyone from the Island of Despair has the same tattoo on them. The tattoo might be on differentparts of their body. They would also use a special material to conceal the tattoo. They'll need to use aspecific potion to clean it up. Hence, it's difficult to know if someone is from the Island of Despair."

Gordan could not help curse but when he heard that. "They're way too f*cking insidious."

"You're a carefree man. The Island of Despair won't target you." Luke glanced at Gordan and took hisphone out of his pocket.

Gordan agreed with him and nodded. There was not much he could do alone. Even though he wasinformed of the latest things that were happening around here, it would not affect the benefits andinterests of the Island of Despair.

They would place someone beside Gordan if they were really targeting him, but he was no LukeCrawford.

Arranging and placing a qualified spy by his side was one of the least useful things they could do.

Gordan noticed that Luke was already looking at his phone screen. He knew the conversation wascoming to an end.

Luke told him that he would not even mention Vivian's matter, and he really did not say anything abouther.

Gordan could not help but feel depressed.

He suspected that Vivian was brought back by Ray's men. Although there was no precise evidence forthat, Gordan was still pretty sure that was what went down.

Gordan thought of worming some information out of Luke starting from what happened last night.However, he did not expect that Luke would so skillfully dodge the questions.

Hence, Gordan only managed to find out what happened last night.

"Brother Luke, do you mind sending me a photo of the tattoo?" Gordan asked again.
