He insisted on meeting Luke in person before revealing any information about the Island of Despair.
In addition, Marcos received news about his mother living here. That was why he planned to make a trip to A City.
He claimed to the people on his side that he needed to come here to do business, then he would take a charter
flight to travel to A City.
"The remnants of the Island of Despair need to be eliminated," Percy said in a sinister tone.
On the other hand, after Luca had dinner with Amur, Amur took the initiative to clean up the table.
Luca took out the dough that had been left to rest and the marinated filling. Then, she walked to the dining room to
prepare pot pies and croissants.
Amur sat beside her and watched Luca divide the flour for the croissants and pot pies. He waited to see how she
did it.
Luca's fingers were slender. She was skilled when she rolled the dough. It only took a while before a beautifully
shaped croissant appeared in her hands.
"You're good with your hands," said Amur. He also understood that he might not be able to do it himself if he had to
do this alone.
However, he did not know why Luca insisted on letting him try.
"You can do it too. Come on, give it a try." Luca had already divided the dough for the croissants and handed one of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe balls to Amur.
Then, she picked up another ball of dough and taught him step by step how to make it.
After a while, Luca had made a fine-looking croissant, while Amur's croissant looked lumpy and ugly.
Amur frowned while looking at the croissant in his hand. Then, he glanced at Luca. "It despairs me looking at the
difference between yours and mine. I'm not good at this."
"Don't worry. It's not like we're selling them. They're edible as long as the crust doesn't break," Luca reassured
Amur and encouraged him to make more. "There are still plenty more to make. Help me out, will you?"
"Sure." Amur thought to himself that even if they did not look good, they would still taste good because they were
Luca's homemade food.
The appearance might be unappealing, but she still made them. They would taste good.
Amur continued to shape the croissants while Luca began preparing the pot pies.
"What's the good news you mentioned earlier?" Amur suddenly asked.
Luca smiled. She wiped her hands with a tissue and took out a piece of paper from her briefcase. Then, she handed
it to him.
"What's this?" Amur looked at the pile of data, confused.
"Just a moment," Luca took out another piece of paper.
She was not sure if there was any surveillance camera installed here by Abel. Hence, she wrote all her good news
on this piece of paper.
She handed it over to Amur to read.
Amur took it from her and saw the message on it. He understood why she used such a method to deliver the
message. He looked surprised. "Are you serious?"
"Yes, I've spent a long time working on it. It finally worked." Luca nodded. She picked up a wet wipe to clean her
hands and continued making pot pies.
"This is the good news you were talking about..." Amur could not believe it. It was as though he was dreaming.
He remembered Luca telling him and his sister that no matter what, she would try her best to help them escape
from the Island of Despair when she was about to leave the island for her mission.
However, the brother and sister never mentioned it.
They had all taken the poison, and they knew that they only had a few days to live if they really escaped from the
Island of Despair.
Everyone worked hard to complete their tasks to survive. At the same time, they were hoping that nothing would
get rid of the Island of Despair.
They would lose their cure without the Island of Despair.
It would be a dead end for them.
At that moment, Amur never thought that Luca would use such a way to help them to escape.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Why are you standing there?" asked Luca.
"Is this true?" Amur could not believe it. With this cure, he could free himself from the control of the Island of
Despair.
All he had to do was figure out how to get Eler and Nyla out.
"It's true." Luca pointed to the two lines of text and told him that the formula could neutralize the poison in their
blood. It was just like the previous sample she had collected.
"You're amazing, Luca!" Amur could not help but exclaim.
Luca actually developed the cure on her own.
This was something Abel would never have expected.
Abel thought of using drugs to make them listen to him. Now, Luca had done something they could never have
expected.
Amur could not help but feel excited. He never expected that one day, they would be able to free themselves.
"What do you plan to do next?" asked Amur.
They should be able to rescue Nyla and Eler with the antidote and with the help of Luke and the others.
However, Luca's appearance had changed. Even if they could verify her DNA, would Luke really acknowledge her?
"I haven't decided yet. I'll take it one step at a time," said Luca. Luke had too much going on in A City lately, and she
did not know what to do.
