However, Warren still felt that Amur was more capable than him.
It was quiet in the elevator. Luca noticed that Warren was sizing up Amur.
She remained silent. Once the elevator reached the floor, she was the first to step out to
find her room.
Luca swiped the card and opened the door to the room, but she did not enter. Instead, she
looked at Amur, who was next door, and said, "Clear your mind. Rest early."
Amur's eyes darkened. It was as though he was contemplating something, but he
eventually nodded, indicating that he would follow her words.
Luca was worried that he had something else to do.
However, the task given by Abel had already been completed. There would not be any
immediate assignments soon.
After entering the suite, Amur first inspected the surroundings of the room.
The room was not particularly spacious. It was around 20 square meters. He searched all
the places where surveillance or bugging devices might be hidden but found nothing.
Then, he sat down in a chair.
This was a hotel Luca had booked, so there should not be any problems.
Amur took his phone and charger out, plugging them into the socket.
His phone was confiscated by the police when he was detained, so it was normal for the
battery to be depleted.
When the screen of his phone lit up, he sent a text message to an unfamiliar number.
He informed the people of the Island of Despair that he had accomplished his mission. The
two men at the police station were dead. Moreover, even if the police suspected him, they
would not be able to find anything.
After a while, his phone vibrated. Amur opened it and read the message: [0317, well
done.]
0317 was his code name.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPreviously, when he was taken to the Island of Despair to receive training, he did not have
a name. Even though some people knew his name was Amur, they still referred to him as
0317.
0316 was Luca's code name.
They started their training one after the other. Everyone on the Island of Despair called
Amur by his code name except Abel. Amur was fine with it.
After all, the only ones qualified to address him by his name were Eler and Luca...
There were knocks on his door.
Amur rose to his feet and walked to the door, peering through the peephole to confirm it
was Luca before opening it. "Why aren't you resting yet?"
"It's still early." Luca walked straight into his room.
Amur closed the door. It was indeed still early. Luca did not have the habit of resting so
early.
"Have you checked the place?" asked Luca. Even though she booked the hotel rooms at
the last minute, she still felt uneasy. As soon as she entered her room, she checked the
surroundings to ensure there were no monitoring or surveillance devices. Only after
checking the room did she feel relieved and come to find Amur.
"I have. It's clear,” replied Amur. While undergoing training on the Island of Despair for
such a long time, they had encountered various cutting-edge technologies from around
the world, and they knew the horrors of these surveillance devices.
If the Island of Despair wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation and they did not
perform a check, they could be under their surveillance within minutes.
Perhaps from the moment Luca made the room booking, those from the Island of Despair
already knew where they would be staying tonight.
Luca nodded and glanced at the room. Amur had already drawn the curtains. Even if
someone was watching them from across, they could only rely on thermal imaging devices
and would not be able to see any specific images.
Luca asked, "Your mission was to deal with those two men?"
Luca's frankness did not surprise Amur much. She was so clever that it would have been
strange if she had not guessed it correctly.
"Yes." Amur nodded.
Luca took out a piece of paper from her pocket. "How did you complete the mission?"
Her graceful handwriting revealed her cautiousness. Despite checking, she was still
worried about someone secretly monitoring or eavesdropping.
If she asked Amur questions and he answered, it might let someone have something on
him. Having something on Amur would be a threat to him, as well as to herself.
Luca would not allow Amur to be in danger. If the other party held recordings as evidence
against him, she would be forced to comply passively.
Amur took the pen she handed him and wrote down how he completed the mission.
[I got two pills from the base. You know how I got in. Then, I evaded surveillance and gave
them the pills. They took the pills yesterday.] Amur quickly wrote down the words. After he
confirmed that Luca had finished reading it, he swiftly got rid of the evidence.
Luca nodded. She had also suspected that Amur would use the pills.
After all, with the police officers and surveillance cameras installed there, there was no
other way that was safer and more reliable.
Amur managed to walk away unharmed.
Luca's heart raced a little. Her expression turned grim at the thought of Amur using pills to
deal with those two men.
The amount of blood on their hands was far more than the blood on her and Amur's
hands...
That was why she did not sympathize with those two men. They were not the only ones in
a dangerous situation—so were Luca and Amur.
It would be easy for Abel to abandon them. Even if she developed an antidote now, as
long as the Island of Despair still existed, they would be on the run...

There were plenty of assassins who were more skilled than them on the Island of Despair.
Luca wrote another question. [Have the police investigated you?]
[They did, but they have no evidence.] Amur was clever enough. He did not make them
eat the pills on the first day he was detained.
Instead, he waited several days until the police noticed that Amur, Alexsei, and Kazimir
had no interaction. Only then did he allow them to take the pills he had given them in
advance.
Once the effects of the poison kicked in, they were rushed to the hospital, but it was futile.
The hospital could not determine the composition of the poison that Shanks made. The
only residue they could possibly find would be in their stomach fluids...
Amur believed that he had executed his plan flawlessly.
Luca let out a sigh of relief. She rose to her feet and said, "You take care of that. Also, get
some rest."
"What happened to him?” asked Amur.
Luca was taken aback, not realizing who he was referring to. "Who?"
"Pierre Mallory," replied Amur. Pierre had been taken away by Luke's men. Amur did not
feel any remorse or anger about it.
After all, Pierre did not manage to receive treatment for his broken leg in time.
Even though Alexsei tried to treat Pierre's leg, he was ultimately not a professional. Amur
believed that even if someone managed to save Pierre, there was a high probability that
his leg would be rendered useless. Even Johann would not be able to salvage his leg.
"I'm not sure about the specifics, but he's in a private hospital being taken care of now. I
heard that there's a high probability that his leg is permanently damaged," answered
Luca. It was Luke and Nina who relayed the information to her.
The happiest person knowing that Pierre was a cripple was Nina.
Nina decided not to argue with Pierre anymore for Percy's sake.
The person who had hurt her had received his punishment now. Nina saw it as karma, a
punishment from above for Pierre.
The once lofty and esteemed second young master of the Mallory family had now become
a cripple. Even if the Mallory family helped him to clean up the mess, how could he
continue to be the illustrious Pierre Mallory?
