Female Novel
Chapter 2206
Luke came back within three days, and he managed to acquire the company. How did he do that?
Andy finally realized that there was really someone as capable as his boss.novelbin
“Thank you." There was no arrogant look on Luke's face. Neither did he show any cheerful expressionson his face. It was as though successfully taking over the company was in his plans, and it was nothingworth celebrating or something to be proud of.
Marcos was impressed with how calm Luke was. After working in M Group for a long time, he had seentoo many people who grew complacent about their small achievements. They thought that a brightfuture awaited them regardless.
They eventually became proud and ended up being devoured in the business world.
A mature man like Luke Crawford could handle surprises and overcome challenges with confidence.He was the king.
Tina pushed the lounge door open and Luke invited them, "Mr. Marcos, please."
"Thank you." Marcos and Luke walked into the lounge together while Andy followed behind Marcosclosely. He was not only Marcos' assistant, but he was also his bodyguard. That was why he wouldfollow wherever Marcos went when he went out.
"Take a seat," Luke asked them to sit on the sofa.
Marcos nodded and glanced around the decorations in the lounge. The space was elegant yetluxurious. This was the best hospitality provided by T Corporation.
Tina, who was standing beside him, asked in a soft voice, "Mr. Marcos, may I know what you'd like todrink?"
"Coffee, please. Thank you," replied Marcos.
Tina nodded, turned around, and walked out of the lounge to prepare the drinks for them. At the sametime, she closed the door behind her. Although there was hardly anyone passing by on this floor,secretaries were walking around here. Hence, Tina closed the door to make sure that theirconversation was kept private.
After Tina closed the door, Andy took a small detector out of his pocket and asked Luke, "Mr. Crawford,this is to make sure that the conversation between us is kept private. You don't mind, right?"
"I don't mind. Just go ahead." Even though Luke was not professional in this field, he recognized thedetector in front of him.
It was used to detect bugging devices and hidden cameras.
The lounge was used to entertain important guests who came to the office. Therefore, there would beno bugging devices or hidden cameras. However, Marcos was cautious, so Luke did not stop him.
Andy nodded. After he got Marcos' permission, he turned on the detector and checked every corner ofthe lounge.
Luke crossed his hands without starting a conversation. He planned to wait until Andy had finishedchecking.
Noticing how prudent Marcos was, Luke knew Marcos came to talk about something important with himthis time. Perhaps it was something confidential.
Andy checked once and found nothing. He turned off the device and returned to stand behind Marcos.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Crawford," apologized Marcos.
“No problem." Luke did not mind.
Tina knocked on the door at this moment, and she brought two cups of coffee in. Then, she placedthem on the coffee table, turned around, and left.
Luke only spoke after that, "Mr. Marcos, I don't think you came here to have a simple chat with me,right?"
"Mr. Crawford, you're a smart person. I'm impressed." Marcos smiled as he picked up the cup of coffeeand took a sip. The coffee left a pleasant aftertaste. It seemed like Tina had been diligent in her workfor the past few days. She even figured out what kind of coffee Marcos liked.
Luke did not say a word. He picked up the coffee and took a sip, waiting for Marcos to continue.
Marcos said, "Previously, you mentioned that you were involved in the extermination of the Island ofDespair. I looked into it after that. What you did was more than just participate in it. If it weren't for you,the Russian police wouldn't have been able to wipe out the Island of Despair successfully. So, I believeyou have armed forces in countries abroad, not to mention in this country or A City."
"I'm flattered, but I'm just a businessman," replied Luke. He did not mean to deny it. Besides, even ifLuke denied it, Marcos would be able to figure it out based on his capability.
Luke indeed had his armed forces, but his team was unlike the Island of Despair. They had never hurtanyone or done anything for the sake of money.
They only helped Luke to figure out what obstacles he would be facing in the business world.
There were people like Marcos' family in this world. That was why Luke knew that even though hehated criminal organizations, he would not give up the idea of cooperating with them just because ofhis hatred toward them.
"You're too humble, Mr. Crawford. Let me be honest, I came here to ask for your help this time."Marcos went straight to the point.
Luke had already expected it. He did not show a look of surprise on his face and just asked, "How mayI help you?"
"The information you've given me states that my mother is currently staying in A City. I've gone toseveral places where my parents first met each other and fell in love over the past few days. I didn'tmanage to find her. That's why I'd like to ask for your help to look for my mother," said Marcos. Hewanted to find out where his mother was, but he could not make it too obvious.
"You want me to look for her? I can help, but I'll need an explanation. Mr. Marcos, you have people atyour service. Why don't you look for her yourself?" Luke wanted to know the reason behind this.Furthermore, what mattered the most was Luke had a favor to ask of Marcos too.
"It's because my family thinks that my mother has already passed away. I don't want them to find outthat my mother is still alive and I'm looking for her. They'll find out about this if I send my subordinatesto look for her," explained Marcos. Although it was a skeleton in the closet, Luke knew about theirfamily affairs. He did not conceal the fact that he knew about it either.
Luke nodded and replied, "I can help you to look for her. Although it states that your mother is living inA City, there's a chance that she might not be in A City anymore since the information hasn't beenupdated for quite some time. I'll expand the search area to the whole country."
Marcos let out a sigh of relief when Luke promised to help him. Then, he asked, "Thank you for helpingme. Is that anything I can do for you?"
"Yes, indeed." Luke was waiting for him to say that.
Marcos' words carried a lot of weight in the business world. Relationships and connections did notmatter to him. He would only do things according to his standards.
He possessed the right personal values and strong determination. That was why Luke needed to gethis permission.
"In return for your kindness, I can do you a favor," replied Marcos.
Luke raised his brows and asked, "Aren't you afraid that you might lose out before you find out what I'masking for your help on?"
"I believe in you," answered Marcos.
"Your uncle, Matysh, is traveling to A City. He's coming for Luca. I won't allow him to think that he hasthe chance to steal my woman. I'll be taking measures when necessary, but I can't guarantee that themethods I use won't hurt Matysh." A hint of malice flashed across Luke's eyes when he mentionedMatysh's name.
Marcos caught a glimpse of it and understood that the measures Luke would be using to stop Matyshwere probably not simple ways. Matysh's plan was not going to succeed in the end.
Luke wanted to protect Luca.
