Chapter 640 Luke's Anger!
Security was tight in the double-storied mansion. Men in black were stationed every few feet apart.
Ray was waiting for Luke in the first-floor foyer of the mansion.
Luke had expected that the cruel and merciless Ray was a stern old man or a violent middle-aged man,but he was surprised to find out that Ray was quite young.
Ray was tall and well-built like most Russian men, but he had a warm and gentle smile on his face.
Luke found it hard to associate a gentleman like that with the feared Mafia boss in the rumors.
While Luke sized up Ray, Ray was also silently observing Luke.
The man who had expanded his business across the continents had outstanding looks. He might be amere businessman, but he carried the bearing of a noble. It was impressive that he remained calmdespite the perilous surroundings.
The two men sat down opposite each other in the foyer. The atmosphere was stifling.
Ray took out a cigar and handed it to Luke. "You've come a long way, Mr. Crawford, so I'll keep thisshort. Your good friend slept with my only elder sister Vivian, and now he doesn't want to takeresponsibility. I would have chopped him up and fed him to the dogs, but my sister insists on marryinghim, while he would rather die than marry her. I'm giving him two choices. If he marries Vivian, I'll letthem go. If he insists on not marrying her, I'll spare his life because you're his good friend, but I'll chopoff one of his hands!"
Luke sat calmly on the couch. He blew a smoke ring and nodded.
The rules of the criminal underworld were cruel.
Luke knew that Ray was already being merciful for giving Gordan a second option.
Ray signaled to his subordinate.
Soon, a man was brought to the foyer and tossed on the floor. His body was covered with blood, andhis face was heavily bruised and swollen.
Gordan was gravely injured, but he continued to swear at Ray. "Ray, you son of a b*tch, kill me if youdare! I'd rather die than marry that cow of an elder sister of yours!"
However, when Gordan's gaze fell on Luke, he instantly became guilty and sheepish. "Luke..."
He did not expect things to become so serious. He thought that the woman he slept with was an uglygirl without money or influence, but he did not expect that she was Ray's elder sister. He had to troubleLuke to come from afar to save him.
Luke stubbed out his cigar and told Ray, "I'd like to talk to my friend in private."
Ray thought that Luke might convince Gordan to change his mind.
He waved his hand, and the men in black left the foyer in a single file.
Luke glared at Gordan coldly. "So what's your plan? If you marry Vivian, this story will have a happyending. If you don't, Ray has promised that he will spare your life, but you will lose a hand." "I won’tmarry that cow, Luke! Don't you know how ugly she is? Even when I was sleeping with her, my eyeswere closed the entire time... Actually, I have a lover back in the country. We've been on and off foralmost ten years, and she's several months pregnant with my child. Luke, even if I were to marry, I willonly marry her and not this cow..."
Luke's usually gentle gaze turned ice-cold when he heard that.
He sent Gordan flying backward with a kick. Gordan was already injured, and the kick caused him tospit out a mouthful of blood.
Luke's leather shoe stomped heavily on Gordan's handsome face while he scolded, "You already havea lover back home, but you flirt with other women elsewhere. I shouldn't have paid for your plasticsurgery!"
Gordan took in all the abuse without offering any resistance. He admitted that he was guilty.
Even so, he knew that his good friend would help him.
Ten minutes later, Ray returned to the foyer. Luke looked at him profoundly and said with extremereluctance, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ray.”
As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten guns were aimed at their heads.
Ray was enraged. He grunted coldly and tossed a sharp dagger in front of Gordan.
Luke picked up the dagger. He placed it near his wrist and said impassively, "My good friend is astubborn one, Mr. Ray. He's a natural-born playboy, and he has a terrible character. Your elder sisterwon't find any happiness with him, and she deserves better. However, I owe my good friend a debt ofgratitude, and it's my time to repay it. If you want a hand from him, I'd rather you take mine."
Sean's expression changed drastically. "Mr. Crawford..."
Gordan's face turned pale and he shouted nervously. "No, Luke!"
Luke shook his head and him. Then, he lifted the dagger and brought it down to his wrist...
A City.

Bianca was once again woken up by a nightmare. In her heart, her unease grew.
The first thing she did after she woke up was to check her phone.
Nothing. No calls or messages from Luke. That made her feel even more uneasy.
The breakfast was tasteless, and she barely finished it. Nina came over and invited her to go shopping.
Bianca was plagued by worries. She did not want to leave the house.
Nina was curious when she saw that Bianca seemed listless. "What's wrong, Bea? You seem to be inlow spirits."
Bianca's left ear did not stop ringing.
She plugged her left ear with a finger, but the ringing did not stop. "Nina, do you know if it's a goodthing or a bad thing if my left ear keeps ringing?" She asked worriedly.
Nina could not help but chuckle. "Oh, since when does our pragmatic Bianca believe in superstitions?You shouldn't believe in those old wives' tales..."
Bianca stared at her, eagerly waiting for an answer.
Nina was surprised but answered her question anyway. "The saying goes that ringing in the left earmeans bad news, while ringing in the right ear means good news. I don't think that you can believe itthough. Remember that time I almost died after being knocked down by a car? My right ear was ringingand I thought that my luck was taking a turn for the better. Ever since then, I stopped believing in it."
Bianca breathed a sigh of relief. She sat there woodenly, seeming to be sad but helpless.
Nina walked in front of her and placed her warm palm on Bianca's stomach. "Let's go shopping. I knowthat you're in a bad mood, but staying at home will only make things worse. Let's go out and havesome fresh air. Everything that you want to buy or eat is my treat today, alright? Moreover, our littledarling must be eager to go out after staying in the house for so long..."
Bianca could not argue with that, and she followed Nina out.
