Chapter 2287
"It's not that easy to find out more about the situation. Our best entry point is Pierre," Luke said.However, Pierre wanted nothing to do with him.
He would not tell him anything about the Island of Despair.
"I can't help in this matter although he's my younger brother," Percy said helplessly.
Pierre's whereabouts were erratic. Percy had not paid attention to the people he knew and what hewas doing. After all, Pierre's rebelliousness was not obvious at that time.
"He's your brother but even you don't know. It's making it more difficult for me to investigate," Lukesaid.
All he knew now was that Luca was being controlled by someone from the Island of Despair.
However, he had no idea where the base of the Island of Despair was.
The fake Bianca did not leave any useful clues before she died from the poison. The earth was huge.He was not sure where to even start.
"Don't worry. At least Luca is by your side now. There's still time." Percy did not know what to say, sohe could only comfort Luke.
Luke frowned. 'Do we have time?
'No, we don't have much time.'
He felt that their progress was far from enough. He could only save Luca from the hell she was in if hecould get rid of the control of the Island of Despair.
As such, he needed to hurry up.
"Let's go." Seeing that it was almost time, Luke turned off his computer and stuffed some documentsinto the briefcase.
"Okay." Percy stood up lazily.
The two walked out of the office.
Luke went to Jason's office.
"Boss, what can I help you with?" Jason saw him and stood up.
"Let's go for a drink." Luke invited Jason.
Jason glanced at Percy and guessed that they were going for a drink together. He wanted to go hometo accompany Sue and the kids, so he said, "Boss, you need me for drinks too?"
"Of course." Luke nodded and presented himself as though Jason could not refuse him.
"Okay, give me a second." Jason could only agree.
Percy leaned on the door frame, watched Jason's neat movement of packing up the documents, andsaid, "How can you be like this? You want to drink but insist on bringing Mr. Doyle with you. It'sobviously because you can't go home and hug your beauty so you want Mr. Doyle to be in the samesituation."
"You talk too much." Luke rolled his eyes at Percy.
Jason knew about what Matysh was up to and was fully involved with the suburban developmentproject, which was why Luke asked him along.
"I'm happy." Percy was not a talkative person, but he started sharing more after he met Nina.
After Jason packed up his stuff, he went to Bibbler's Tale with Luke and Percy.
Jim had not arrived yet.
When he arrived, Percy had already booked a VIP private room. It was the one they often used forgatherings.
When the floor manager saw them, his eyes lit up and he took them to the reserved private room.
Percy frowned and said, "Is this the private room I booked?"
"Yes, Mr. Mallory." The floor manager's smile stiffened.
"You think we're a fool just because we haven't been here for a while?" Percy frowned. "The privateroom I booked with your manager is the VIP room, the same room that we've always booked before. Isthis the VIP Room?"
They were not dead set on the VIP room.
However, when they were making the booking, the manager mentioned that the VIP room wasavailable, which was why they ended up booking that room.
As such, he was a little dissatisfied when he was treated like a fool and taken to another private roomby the floor manager.
Seeing this, the floor manager quickly explained, "Mr. Mallory, I'm sorry. It's an honest mistake on ourpart..."
"..." Percy looked at him.
The floor manager felt pressured and continued talking, "We've reserved the VIP room for you, but theother Mr. Mallory showed up. He asked for the VIP room, so our staff thought that you came together
and gave him the room."
"The other Mr. Mallory?" Percy frowned.
"It's your younger brother, Mr. Pierre," the floor manager said. All the servers knew that they werebrothers, which was why they gave him the room without questioning it when Pierre insisted that hewanted the VIP room as he had brought his friends over.
It was only after chatting for a bit that they realized he did not come with Percy.
They knew they had made a mistake, but the issue was that Pierre insisted on getting the VIP room. Ifthey refused to give it to him, he threatened to demolish their establishment.
"We'll take this room." Luke was not bothered with making a scene.
The floor manager breathed a sigh of relief. It was the best-case scenario if they were fine with thearrangement. After all, they were not the same group. He could not make them crowd together.
"Okay, come with me, please," he said. They had a room for them and even gave them a fruit bowl.
"Mr. Crawford, Mr. Mallory, Mr. Doyle, it's our fault, so we prepared some drinks and fruits for you.Please enjoy yourselves." the floor manager said.
Percy glanced at what they had prepared. The things were not cheap.
Nevertheless, he and Luke were not at all interested.
"Take them out," he said.
"These are given to you for free. Please consider it as our apology." The floor manager was stunned.He stressed that no payment was expected of them.
"We don't drink such cheap alcohol. Remove these as well. Bring all the bottles I have stored here,"Percy said.
When the floor manager heard this, he asked the server to take away all the drinks and food they hadprepared for them.
Percy was upset. He sat on the sofa and said to Luke, "Let's finish all the bottles we have here and goto Alumbra from now on."
Alumbra was an up-and-coming upscale nightclub.
"As you wish," Luke said. Since he found out that Luca was Bianca, he once again had somethingdependable in his life. Hence, he did not enjoy nightclubs and bars very much.
He would sometimes go to these kinds of places just for work. He heard that Alumbra was good, so itwas the same wherever he went.
The floor manager stood by and served them. His heart tightened as he had heard every one ofPercy's words clearly.
He did not expect that one mistake would cost the establishment big shots like Luke and Percy.
The floor manager quickly stepped forward and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Mallory, Mr. Crawford, sometime ago, our bar imported a batch of wines from some French estates. They're of good quality. I canopen a bottle for you to taste. "
"No need." Percy's tone was cold.
Luke did not respond either.
The floor manager got nervous and said quickly, "Are you sure you don't want to give it a go? Don't youlike to store wine here? The quality of this batch of wine is wonderful. I highly recommend it."
The waiter came in with several bottles of booze that Percy had kept here and put them on the table."Mr. Mallory, do you want to open all of them?"novelbin
"No need. Bring in three A-meals and some snacks." Percy looked at the table full of booze. He did notremember storing so many bottles there.
