In the beginning, Shanks agreed to help and even took practical actions. Therefore, the

island still needed Shanks' assistance.

"Ivana, tell me, why didn't you report to my people when you came to X City for this

networking event?" Abel had no choice but to follow Shanks’ intention. He questioned

Luca.

Luca replied, "The people from the Island of Despair are watching me. Isn't it all the same

whether I report to you or not?"

Abel's gaze deepened. He lifted his head and grasped Luca's chin, forcing her to meet his

eyes.

"Is that your reason for not reporting? Have you forgotten whose side you're on?" Abel

sneered.

"Do you think you're still Luke’s woman after returning to his side? Once I tell him

everything you've done, do you think he'll still keep you by his side?"

In Abel's perception, Luke was different from other men.

He valued emotions more than others.

Even though others thought he had abandoned his mistreated wife for a younger, prettier

woman, they did not know it had always been the same person.

Although Luke did not know Ivana’s true identity was Bianca, the attraction of their souls

made him choose her once again.

Still, what did it matter?

Their child was still on the Island of Despair. Hence, there was no way Ivana would tell

Luke her true identity.

Therefore, Abel believed that if Luke knew what she had done, he would surely choose his

own interests over his emotions.

A man like Luke could not tolerate betrayal from others the most.

Luca secretly let out a sneer. She might have been afraid or worried because of Abel's

threats back then.

However, it was different now.

At least she knew that Luke and she were of one mind.

However, superficially, Luca had not shown her cards.

"I didn't know you'd attend this industry networking event, and you didn't ask me to report

to you when I went out of town." Luca deliberately showed a hint of panic in her eyes

when she spoke.

It was for Abel to see. It was a flaw she deliberately revealed.

Abel raised an eyebrow, feeling like she was making excuses. However, he had no

evidence to prove it. Just as he was about to say something, Shanks interfered, "You

indeed didn't tell her."

Abel gave him a sinister sideways glance, as though he was questioning whose side he

was on.

Shanks looked at Abel calmly and picked up his phone. He sent a few photos to Luca.

Luca’s phone chimed, but she lowered her eyes without taking out her phone.

Shanks continued, "Ivana, you're here just in time. I came here to find some medicinal

herbs. I received a message that the herb farmers here have the ones I want.

"Can you help me to ask around? I've already sent you the names and photos of the

herbs."

When Luca heard what Shanks said, she finally glanced at her phone. It was some names

and photos of medicinal herbs. She furrowed her brows slightly, realizing that these herbs

were not from the same batch Shanks had initially requested.

She quickly recalled the medicinal properties of these herbs in her mind. The more she

thought about it, the more puzzled she became.

These medicinal herbs were basically toxic. Even if they were not poisonous, they could

produce harmful toxins to the human body when combined with certain other herbs.

What was Shanks researching?

Shanks could see that Luca was confused. He knew her well and replied, "Your task is

simply to help me locate these herbs. They're meant to save lives."

"Understood." Luca nodded and put away her phone.

Even though she did not know what Shanks needed the herbs for, if it was for saving lives,

then that was what they were for.

Medicinal herbs often had dual purposes. Toxic herbs could also be used for healing.

Luca was just curious about what kind of people these herbs could save.

After Luca agreed, Shanks turned to look at Abel and asked, "I'm done. Do you have

anything else to say?"

Abel replied enigmatically, "I haven't disciplined her yet and you're already giving orders,

making it seem like you're helping her out of trouble."

In Shanks’ deep blue eyes, a hidden flicker of emotion shimmered unnoticed. "Priority is

the task at hand."

Those words silenced Abel. He took a deep breath, fixed his eagle-like gaze on Luca, and

said, "Ivana, you're from the Island of Despair. You need to decide which side you're on.

"I hope you get it, or else don't be surprised if I'm not so nice about it. Understood?"

As Luca listened to his warning, her heart remained unsettled. Before she could respond,

Abel impatiently delivered a punch to her abdomen.

"Ugh..." Luca staggered two steps backward, instinctively clutching the area where she

was hit.

Abel knew human anatomy well. Even though he had struck her forcefully, he avoided

hitting any vital organs.

Even if she wanted to pretend to be dead, there was no way she could.

"I'm asking you, did you hear me?!" questioned Abel. His temper flared as he moved

closer, ready to attack her.

Every time he saw her, he was reminded of Kassy, who was terribly harmed by Luke. He

had wanted to love her and cherish her, but Luke ruined her so thoroughly. She was barely

recognizable...

If he could, he would kill Luke right now.

Shanks knew what Abel wanted to do. He stepped forward and grabbed his hand.

"Let go!" Abel's eyes were now filled with hatred.

Shanks coldly reminded him, "Don't let hatred cloud your judgment. I still need her help,

and her assistance to me is also an assistance to you."

As Luca listened to Shanks’ words, she straightened her body slightly. What did he mean

by that?

Was Shanks’ research aimed at helping Abel?

Luca's suspicion had its reasons. In reality, most of Shanks's research was indeed to help

Abel.

For example, the pharmaceutical research was aimed at making money in the

pharmaceutical industry to strengthen the Island of Despair.

Furthermore, the antidotes for those poisons were meant to help Abel control the people

on the Island of Despair. It ensured his peace of mind as he did not have to worry about

rebellion.

However, Shanks would always claim that these were his own research projects and never

mention Abel's involvement.

Now that Luca heard him saying that, she became even more curious about what research

Shanks was conducting.

Shanks' words successfully restrained Abel's impulse. He calmly said, "There are many

people on the Island of Despair who can help you, not just her."

Shanks chuckled as though he had just heard a joke. "Indeed, but your people are all

brainless. I've had them searching for medicinal herbs multiple times now, but all they've

brought back is garbage.

"They keep getting deceived. Would you dare to use the herbs they found, given how

foolish they are?"

Abel remained silent.

The people on the Island of Despair were all elites, but they were not medical elites.

It was not that they did not want to learn, but Shanks considered their learning speed

inferior to Luca's and deemed it a waste of time to teach them.

If he felt they lacked talent after one or two classes, he would dismiss them to focus on

other training. He refused to impart further medical knowledge to them.

Abel had no choice. While those people excelled in tasks like fighting, they simply were

not cut out for learning complicated medical knowledge.
