Percy knew what they were thinking and remained silent.
It was not until a while later that Luke finally asked Gordan, "Any ideas?"
"This area's buildings are complex, but luckily, I have the floor plan. I came up with a plan,
and I made an animation. Here, take a look." Gordan shared his screen with them and
showed them his rescue plan.
The plan to rescue Pierre was simple and straightforward. They were only going there to
rescue Pierre.
However, it was a difficult task too, considering the heavy weapons they possessed and
the fact that they had Pierre as a burden, which could hold them back.
Gordan spent the whole afternoon brainstorming, figuring out how to rescue him.
After they finished watching the animation, Gordan asked, "This is my idea. Going in from
this point can save a lot of trouble. We can avoid alarming them too."
"I think it's a good idea," said Jim. They had also seen the nearby floor plan. Even though
the room was messy, it provided Gordan with some convenience.
"What do you think?" Gordan asked Luke and Percy.
"I'm fine with it." Percy believed in Gordan's expertise. Even though he had been kept by
Vivian as a househusband for several years, he did not let his skills go to waste.
"I've been observing them for the past few days. Their defense is weakest around five
o'clock in the morning. I can take advantage of that to break in and rescue that... Ahem,
rescue Pierre." Gordan initially wanted to call him a bastard.
However, he realized that Percy was still here.
It seemed like a bad idea to call Percy's younger brother a bastard in front of him.
"I'll send my men to assist you now," said Percy. If Gordan would be making a move
around five o'clock in the morning, he could still send his men to head over there to assist
him.
Gordan shook his head and replied, "It's okay. We don't need that many people for this
operation. Besides, it might arouse their suspicion if there are so many more people all of
a sudden. I'm using technology to monitor them. They might be using the same
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttechnology to observe the people nearby. I only asked two of them to stay here and help
me. The rest are on standby nearby.”
He wanted to make sure the rescue plan could succeed.
There were three rooms in the house that Gordan rented. Thus, he could leave two men
here to help him.
If there were two more men here, the rooms would not be enough for all of them. If the
kidnappers had the same technology as him, it would be easy to arouse their suspicion.
Hence, there must be only three people in this house no matter what.
Percy could not help but admire Gordan's cautiousness. The rescue plan had to succeed
this time. Failure was not an option.
While they had a plan B in place, Pierre's survival rate would be significantly reduced if
they had to resort to it.
The kidnappers might try to deceive them to get more money.
Therefore, they must succeed. They could not fail!
After the four of them agreed to Gordan's plan during the meeting, they each went their
separate ways.
Percy dispatched two trusted men to take Gordan to X city.
Despite Gordan insisting that he did not need help, Pierre would need immediate medical
attention once he was rescued. However, it was risky for Pierre if the police discovered
him showing up in a hospital. Therefore, they had to choose a private clinic, and his men
had to be there to arrange everything.
As for Luke, he had a chat with Johann. He convinced him to take a day off and stand by in
X city.
His task was to be responsible for rescuing anyone in case something went wrong during
the rescue operation.
Johann initially wanted to ask Luke if Luca could come along.
After all, Luca's medical skills worked much faster in emergency situations than the typical
methods.
The faster they could save someone and, for instance, stop their bleeding, the higher the
chance for the patient to survive.
However, Luke said no.
It was not that he did not care about his subordinates' safety.
It was just that this operation involved the Island of Despair. If Luca was sent there and
appeared within their line of sight, they might notice that she was involved in the rescue
operation...
Luke could not imagine what would happen.
He would not put Luca in danger when it came to anything related to the Island of Despair.
Johann had no choice but to stop mentioning it when Luke disagreed with him.
After the video conference, Luke shut down his computer and went home.
Luca had already fallen asleep.
Luke did not head to the bedroom to cuddle with Luca and take a nap for a while. He had
to stay awake and wait for Gordan's message at five o'clock in the morning.
He was afraid that if he slept with Luca, he would fall into a deep sleep.
Luke was worried that he would not be able to wake up.
Setting an alarm would wake Luca up too.
Hence, after he made sure that Luca was deeply asleep and covered her with the blanket,
he went to the opposite bedroom and set a 4:30 a.m. alarm on his phone.
Gordan would initiate the plan at 5 a.m. Luke could get up just in time if he fell asleep.
Luke leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the documents he brought back
from the company.
He felt restless when Luca and the Island of Despair came across his mind.
In the other bedroom, Luca slowly opened her eyes the moment Luke closed the door.
Luca knew that the Mallory family would be paying the ransom to Abel tomorrow. She also
reckoned that Luke and Percy had some other plans. However, she did not know what the
plan was...
How could she possibly fall asleep?
Luca felt anxious and worried at the thought of Amur's dangerous situation tomorrow and
the fact that she had no idea what Luke's plan was.

Luca looked down and stared at her phone that she held tightly in her hand.
The last message Amur sent her was that he needed to rest.
It was still early and he told her he needed some rest. He had an important task the next
day, and he had to be in his best condition. He could not afford to make any mistakes.
Otherwise, not only would Amur be in danger, but she also would be forced to leave Luke
at any moment.
Neither the thought of Amur being in danger nor the possibility of her leaving Luke was
something that she wanted to witness or allow to happen.
Her hands trembled again at the thought of it.
Percy was also on pins and needles.
Even though his relationship with Pierre had deteriorated, Pierre had to come back safely
this time.
If something happened to Pierre, Karen, who was already emotionally unstable, would
probably go crazy.
The Mallory family could not afford to have a lunatic in the house.
Even though Percy had lost his maternal love for Karen, he could not bear to see her go
insane.
The future of the Mallory family depended on Gordan's rescue operation tonight.
Nina was waiting for him when Percy came back home.
Even though Percy did not hide Pierre's situation from her, he did not go into detail. He did
not want her to worry.
Nina only knew that he had a meeting tonight to discuss Pierre's rescue plan, but she did
not know the specific time or location.
Nina hugged Percy when he came home looking exhausted. Then, she asked, "Is it about
time to rescue him?"
"Don't worry. Everything will be fine," Percy assured. He knew that Nina was worried about
him, not Pierre.
She knew that if something happened to Pierre, the days ahead would not be any easier
for Percy either.
