Chapter 2055

After failing to retreat, his men and weapons were all taken away on the spot.

Although Abel had received three million dollars from Pierre, the amount of money spent on theweapons was enough to break his heart.

Abel had put in so much effort to get those firearms, but four of them fell into the police's hands...

That would mean that not only did the mission not earn him anything, but he even lost a few men.

It got on Abel's nerves when he found out about it. He sent someone to investigate the matter. Theybrought back the news that someone had tipped Luke off, and the one who tipped him off was Luca.

Hence, he got out of the Island of Despair and came looking for Luca to settle the accounts.

“You didn't send people to assassinate Luke and end his life, right? Did you take someone's money?You weren't planning to let him fall into your hands that easily." Luca did not explain herself andquestioned him instead.

Abel narrowed his eyes and replied, "So what? What difference does it make? Luca, do you have anyidea how big of a loss you've cost me for tipping him off?"

Abel did not intend to kill Luke. He was only carrying out the mission.

However, his subordinates had been caught by the police. Abel was not afraid that they would exposehim because he had something on all of them.

Even so, those firearms.

Abel felt bad for the loss of the firearms.

"You didn't intend to let him die anyway, and he's still alive. Isn't that what you want? Besides, you canimplement your next plans," Luca continued. Was he not planning on making Luke's life a living hell?

That was not something that could be done with just one bullet.

"You know me very well. But your actions have caused me a great loss. No one has ever spoiled myplans since the Island of Despair was established, nor has anyone tipped off a target. How dare you?! Iwant you to pay the price today!" Abel took a gun out of his pocket and aimed it right at Luca's head.

Luca lifted her head and looked at the black muzzle. There would be a bloody hole in her head once hepulled the trigger.

Was it going to end this way?

Perhaps this was a good way to end it all.

There was no need for her to go against her will to deal with Luke.

Luca smiled. The moment the muzzle was aimed at her, she actually felt relieved. “I didn't do anythingwrong. You told me that you won't let Luke die easily. I was just carrying out the mission you'veassigned me."

Abel thought Luca would beg for her life. He did not expect her to be so calm when he was aiming thegun at her.

"Ivana, do you really think I don't have the guts to kill you?" Abel narrowed his eyes and looked at her.The expression on her face made him feel sick.

It was as though pulling the trigger would be fulfilling her wish.

"Pull the trigger." Luca closed her eyes.

"You don't fear death, but if you die, your daughter Kathryn will be dead." Abel's expression washideous. He was dying to put a bullet through her mouth.

Every word she said was on behalf of Luke!

Luca's body trembled when Abel mentioned her youngest daughter. What he said was true. Heryoungest daughter would suffer after Luca died.

If her youngest daughter happened to reunite with her after going to heaven, it could be considered agood ending too. Still, what if Abel trained her daughter to become an assassin with his twisted andbrutal ways? What if he wanted her to kill Luke and her brothers and sister?

Luca knew everything that she thought of would cross Abel's mind too.

Besides, a twisted mind like Abel's would have definitely thought of this...novelbin

Luca began to feel afraid.

She opened her eyes and looked at Abel.

The moment she opened her eyes, Abel knew he had won. The look of courage to face death in Luca'seyes was gone. Fear had taken over now.

Luca was not afraid of the muzzle pointing at her, but she was afraid that Kathryn, who was in Abel'shands, would face a fate worse than death.

"Abel, what are you doing?" Shanks spoke.

Abel's gun was still pointing at Luca's head. He turned and looked at Shanks, who was walking towardhim. "This b*tch betrayed me and cost me a huge amount of money. I'm dealing with her. Can theorgans inside her be taken out immediately if she's dead?"

"She drank your poison. They're worthless," Shanks reminded him coldly. He saw the anxiety in Luca'seyes, and he knew it was because of Nyla.

This woman was not afraid of death, but she began to feel frightened after knowing that her daughtermight get tortured by Abel.

Were all mothers in the world the same?

A blurred figure flashed across Shanks' mind. It seemed like she was the same too.

"Well, killing you won't help me to get my money back." Abel's gaze was gloomy. He wondered how hecould recover his losses.

"Put the gun down. She'll be dead if the gun goes off." Shanks sat on the sofa, reminding Abel with hiscold tone.

“Why? Do you care about her? You're not having feelings for her, right?" Abel raised his brows andlooked at Shanks.

"There's no such thing." Shanks denied it. "I only need her to continue to search for the ingredients forme."

"Can't you ask someone else to look for the ingredients? Why do you have to save this woman?" Abelnarrowed his eyes and looked at Shanks. He wondered if Shanks felt anything for Luca.

"You mean those worthless people on your island? They can't even differentiate the ingredients, sohow are they supposed to look for them? Keep in mind that once the ingredients are found and myresearch succeeds, you're still the beneficiary," Shanks reminded him.

The one who benefited the most was Abel even though Shanks was the one who did most of the drugresearch.

Abel pursed his lips. Indeed, none of the people on the island, regardless of their gender, could inheritthe skills Shanks taught them.

It was not because Shanks refused to teach them. They simply had no talent for it, and they could notdifferentiate the types of drugs.

It seemed like Luca was the only one who could help Shanks.

"You'll have to wait for that. What I want to see the most for now is quick profit. Do you know how muchmoney I spent to get those guns?" Abel said furiously. He felt sorry for the money.

No one had ever used those guns before, but they were locked in the police station's evidence roomthe first time they were put to use.

"You want the guns? It's easy. It's nothing more than just an evidence room in the police station. I'mpretty sure your men can sneak into it." Shanks looked at Luca. He could see Luca was not afraid nowby looking at the expression on her face.

Other than Abel, the only thing that could put the fear of God in Luca was her children.

This was already in Abel's plans, but he was still unable to get over it.

It was the police station, after all. If his men entered the police station, they might be able to retrieve theguns, but there were chances that they might get caught too.

It would be great if they could bring the weapons back, but he would lose a few more men if they gotcaught.

Abel looked at Luca and said, "Fine. I'll change my mind if you manage to get the weapons back."
