Chapter 1184 The Real Reason He Left the Island

Luca heard the wretched screams from the clip. She took off the earbuds and frowned hard.

'What's wrong?" Amur asked her out of concern.

"Abel is in A City," Luca said. She could tell that it was the impostor Bianca's voice.

Abel must have been in town because he knew about the scandal.

Luca was quite surprised, but at the stime, she also felt slightly uneasy. She was worried about Abel’s presence in the city, and she had the impulse to inform Luke about it.

"He's here?" Amur was surprised too. "Is he here to deal with the scandal?" "There should be something else," Luca guessed. She noticed a vacant cab and flagged it down.

The cab stopped in front of them.

Luca opened the car door and handed a bag to Amur. "I'll have to return to the company. You should go hfirst." "Yes." Amur nodded and went into the cab.

Luca flagged down another cab and returned to Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

She was occupied with her experiments until the evening, and she only relaxed after she prepared to go off work.

"It's already so late!" Luca looked around the empty laboratory and said to Rhett next to her.

Rhett glanced at his wristwatch. "It's half an hour past office hours." "I didn't notice the time..." Luca was too engrossed in her experiment. She tidied up her documents and said, "You can go now."

Rhett said, "Lethelp you pack up.”

Luca glanced at the documents scattered all over the table. She did not stop him from helping him, and they packed up the documents together.

She held the stack of documents in her hands and asked him, "Did Mr. Crawford cover today?" "He didn't. Is there anything?" Rhett asked.

"No. You can leave now." Luca shook her head and returned to her office.

"Alright." Rhett nodded and left.

After keeping the documents in the safe, she left the building through the side entrance in the parking lot. She glanced at the main entrance and noticed that the reporters were all gone.

Did they leave because it was already past office hours?

Luca shook her head and flagged down a cab.

She stopped by the supermarket to buy singredients before returning to the apartment. Amur had just been discharged, and she would rather cook for him than get delivery food.

Even though the wounds were not life-threatening anymore, he would still need the nutrition.

With a shopping bag in her hand, she pushed the door of the apartment open and smelled cigar smoke.

There was something harsh and bitter in the smoke. She remained calm as she put the shopping bag down, took two steps, and saw Abel sitting on the couch.

"You're here.” Unlike other people, Luca did not greet him as "Boss." To her, Abel was an enemy who had ripped her away from her family and threatened her to do his bidding.

"You don't look too surprised, just like him." Abel raised his eyebrows and pointed at Amur.

Luca shot a glance at Amur and saw that he was relatively calm. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I knew that you're in A City when you sentthat voice message. Why, did you beat the impostor Binca to death?" "I couldn't have possibly done so." Abel grinned, not feeling any guilt for the blood on his hands.

He hated his minions doing something behind his back, but the impostor Bianca had been irreplaceable in his plan.

That was why he had gotten his minion to punish Bianca and not kill her.

"Too bad." There was a hint of pity in Luca's voice. "I didn't expect that you could tolerate someone who goes against your wishes and let her live. You must've gotten soft." "I know that you want to see her dead. If she dies, you won't be able to get away with it either," Abel said.

"I know." Luca knew that she would not be able to reunite with Luke even if Bianca died. To her, the impostor Bianca had never been a rival.

"I didn't expect that you're still aware of that fact." Abel clapped his hands, and ashes fell from the cigar between his fingers onto the carpet.

Luca remained impassive. "So, are you here just to tellthat you beat up the impostor Bianca and resolved the incident?" "Don't worry. I'll remember everyone who goes against my orders. Once the mission is over, no one will be able to escape their punishment," Abel said. He was talking about the impostor Bianca as well as giving Luca and Amur a reminder.

Luca shrugged nonchalantly. "And?" "Just do your job." Abel's gaze turned profound. "She won't give you any trouble anymore. Also, Amur, why did you fail your mission?" "The target has someone

powerful protecting him. I've underestimated them," Amur said.

"What's your plan?" Abel asked.

If Amur returned to the Island of Despair now, he would have to be punished according to the rules. Alternatively, he could attempt the mission again.

Naturally, the mission would be more difficult the second time. The target would have been warned that someone had placed a hit on them, and they would be more cautious.

Moreover, the Island of Despair would not send more people to help the assassin, so most people would rather quit and receive their punishment.

'Til attempt the mission again," Amur said.

Abel raised his eyebrow and nodded. "Alright. If you fail again, you should know what will happen to you when you return." "I know," Abel said determinedly. If he failed again, the punishment that awaited him when he returned would be more severe.

Abel grinned and stubbed out his cigar. He stood up, looked at Luca, and said, "He's as stubborn as you, and you should know that stubbornness doesn't pay." "It'll be the sif it's the opposite, isn't it?" Luca leaned against the wall and smiled nonchalantly.

Abel smiled and left the apartment.

Luca breathed a sigh of relief after the door closed. She looked at Amur.

"I'm fine." Amur knew that she was concerned about him.

"I know that he won't act now," Luca said. "Did he say anything else?"

She wanted to know the real reason why Abel left the island.

She knew that Abel would not have left the island unless it was critically important.
