The brother and sister were emotionally connected. Ray knew what was on Vivian's mind. A gust of cold wind blew
past them after they sent off Luke. Vivian had not put on any coats or hats. Her hair was messy now.
Ray took his coat off and draped it over her shoulders.
"Stop overthinking. I decided to take over the family matters. This is what a man should do. And all you have to do
is live your life," said Ray. The brother and sister were supposed to carry the responsibilities of their family on their
shoulders.
However, Vivian was not the kind of person who could take a firm stance with others. She would get bullied if she
were to take over their family matters.
Hence, Ray started to take charge of various kinds of matters from the elders of the family after he graduated.
It felt warm to have the coat on, and Vivian smiled. It seemed like she had gotten over the heartbreak of leaving
Gordan.
Although she still missed him, she was doing much better now.
“Let's go into the house. It's cold out here." Vivian knew Ray was not a sentimental person, but he comforted her
again and again. He wanted to lighten the burden in her heart.
"Sure." Ray nodded. The brother and sister turned around and returned to the house.
In the hotel suite.
Luca looked at the full bodysuit in her luggage, then she glanced at the floor plan on the laptop.
When she came to Russia, she had brought a full bodysuit along with her after remembering that this was where
the main stronghold of the Island of Despair was. Hence, she might be assigned a mission. Wearing other clothes
would get in her way and cause inconveniences.
She came fully prepared, but she did not expect that she would really need the bodysuit...
Luca glanced at the time. Although she would only start at around one a.m., she was not the only one on this
mission. She would have to discuss with the others how they were going to carry out the operation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuca picked up the clothes and changed into them. Then, she put on a thick, warm-down jacket to keep herself
warm. When she was about to leave, Luke pushed the door and walked in. He had come back from Ray's place.
“Mr. Crawford, you're back." Luca did not expect Luke to return this early. After all, Ray had caught someone from
the Island of Despair after he broke into the house. She thought Luke must have headed to Ray's place because of
this matter.
After all, Ray had a strong influence in Russia. She believed that he had already figured out the identities of the four
people who were caught and detained in the police station.
Although Ray was unable to know everything about them, he had the solution with him now. He should have known
that those people were from the Island of Despair.
"Are you going out?" Luke asked when he saw that Luca was all dressed up. Her mission was supposed to take place
around one a.m., right? There were a few more hours left. She was going out that early?
"Yes. A friend in Russia knows that I'm here, so she said she'd like to meet me," Luca lied to him.
Luke did not expose her lies and said, "Do you need the hotel car to send you there?"
Luca shook her head. It would only make things difficult if she asked the hotel's driver to send her. She said,
"There's a subway station near the hotel. I'll just take the subway. The subway in Russia is quite convenient."
"Alright." Luke did not insist, and he walked into his room.
Luca let out a sigh of relief when Luke did not continue to question her. She carried her bag and left the suite.
Luke's door was left unlocked. He could hear the sound of Luca leaving the suite. He informed Gale to follow behind
Luca immediately.
Ray told him to leave everything to Hansen and Hansen would handle everything well.
However, Luke would go the extra mile when it was about Luca's matters. Even though someone else would get it
done, he was still worried.
After a while, Hansen shared Luca's location with Luke.
Luca headed to the subway station after she left the hotel. She found herself a place to stand and wait after she got
into the subway.
Luke was keeping a close watch on Luca's whereabouts.
Luke opened the map of Russia on his phone. He could see Luca getting closer to the police station according to the
location.
Luke thought that she should not be acting alone this time. She must be meeting those who would be carrying out
the mission with her.
After Luca reached the subway station near the police station, she left the subway and headed to an inn. She told
the receptionist the number of the room, and the receptionist threw the room card at her while muttering, "What
the hell are you guys doing? Why are there so many people staying in one room?" Luca did not answer her. She
took the room card and headed to the elevator. She swiped the card, and the elevator moved upstairs.
Luca arrived at the room and swiped the card to enter. Before she could see the people in the room, one of them
came throwing a punch at her.
Luca was swift in response. She stopped the person from punching her with her elbows. She was able to get a
glance at the person who attacked her. She realized it was the woman who led her the way when she was in the
beauty salon.
The woman looked at her resentfully and scolded, "You b*tch! Go to hell!" Luca refused to let her get away with it.
The woman attacked her with another hand. Luca lifted her leg and kicked her. “Are you nuts?!"
The kick sent the woman flying, and she fell to the floor. She lifted her head. The fury in her eyes was so
overwhelming that it almost took over her.
"Jake wouldn't have gotten arrested if you hadn't betrayed the organization! I'm going to kill you!" The woman
would rather risk death just to tear the woman in front of her into pieces.
Abel had already informed everyone in the organization that Luca had betrayed the organization. Everyone knew
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat the reason the mission failed this time was because of Luca's betrayal.
The organization did not plan to rescue those who were caught. They were only asked to gather here to retrieve
the weapons in the evidence room at the police station.
The four of them who were arrested were bound to be abandoned by the organization.
Hence, the woman got very emotional. She was dying to kill Luca, who was in front of her.
Luca frowned. She had no idea who Jake was.
However, she reckoned that he was among those four people.
Luca shot the woman a cold glance and denied it. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"You're still denying it? Boss already told us that it's your fault!" The woman rose to her feet, thinking of charging at
Luca. She had gone through the training too, but she did not expect Luca to be quick on the uptake. She got
careless, and that was why she was defeated.
The man who stood beside her stopped her. As an onlooker, he realized that Luca's ability and skills were better
than the woman's. The woman could never win against Luca even if she charged over one more time. He said,
"Enough. Boss didn't ask her to come here to fight with you."
"Then how about Jake?!" The woman looked at the man who stopped her with her bloodshot eyes.
"The mission failed. Jake has no choice but to consider himself unlucky. We're only going to do whatever the
organization wants us to do!" the man reminded the woman with a stern expression on his face.
This was all Abel's arrangement, and she was not allowed to do anything crazy.
"The organization isn't even thinking of saving Jake!" The woman said, "You're Jake's brother. How can you let this
pass so easily?"
The man furrowed his brows. Jake and the others were carrying weapons with them. They could have chosen to
retreat safely when they realized that more than ten people were protecting Luke.
Even so, Jake and the others had weapons in their hands, while Luke and his men did not. They got careless. That
was why they were caught by the police. There were witnesses and evidence at the scene. Not even the lawyers
could bail them out now.
