Chapter 3016
Such dreams were a constant reminder of the hatred that Rain carried with her.
Her hatred was magnified countless times. Even though she had personally taken down her enemies, the lingering unease in her heart continued to spread.
Perhaps it was not enough for her.
Hence, when she learned that there was a chance to launch another attack on the Island of Despair, Rain had been patiently waiting for this opportunity.
This was despite the change in the ownership of the Island of Despair.
The mastermind behind it was someone from the organization back then, someone who had a connection with her in that space.
Rain knew that those who were supporting the Island of Despair now had significant influence. They were definitely not just small fries.
While Rain was immersed in her internal hatred, Luke was meticulously going through the document delivered by Ray's men.
After a while, he handed the document to Gale and Rain, who were sitting nearby.
Gale and Rain, having undergone training on the Island of Despair before, quickly went through the data and finished reading it in no time.
"Damn it. It's him..." exclaimed Gale. In the document, details about the mastermind behind the Island of Despair had been gathered, together with the names Luke had previously shared with them. Suddenly, a person cto Gale's mind.
"Do you recognize this person?" Luke turned around to look at Gale.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGale and Rain, having spent more ton the Island of Despair than Luke, nodded. Even though they did not know everyone on the island, they were familiar with most people.
After all, this man was part of the organization's management back then.
"Yes.” Gale nodded, and Rain followed suit. A figure immediately cto their minds.
He had sreal skills, and he was one of the men whom Robert trusted more. Otherwise, when Luke got nabbed by the Island of Despair back then, they would not have been assigned to be at his side.
It was because Robert trusted them that they got to know most of the people in the organization.
They did not recognize this person earlier from the information provided by Luke as there were many people on the Island of Despair with similar names.
At that time, code names were not as popular, unless someone deliberately made their nsound unique. There were plenty of people named Abel.
Additionally, they did not have a clear impression of that person's appearance.
They thought he was just taking advantage of the momentum of the Island of Despair to rebuild it.
Now, looking at the data Ray had given them, they remembered the man at once.
Gale said, "If this Abel is the one we remember, then he must have undergone plastic surgery. He's one of Robert's adopted sons, and it's just like what Ms. Craw said—he had a crush on Robert's daughter, Kassy.
"He even confessed several times, but Kassy never agreed."
Rain added, "Abel handled external affairs and rarely returned to the Island of Despair unless there was something special. That's why our impressions of him aren't deep. But I remember him, so I can confirm that he must've had surgery. He didn't look like this back then."
Luke frowned. "Handled external affairs? Mostly away from the Island of Despair?"
"Yes, that's right. He took care of the clean businesses that the Island of Despair conducted out there. So, when the Island of Despair was eliminated, he managed to escape unscathed due to these legitimate businesses. No one suspected him."
Gale nodded in response. Due to that, it gave him a chance to start fresh. "Among the adopted sons, Robert trusted this guy the most, so he handed over all the seemingly legit businesses to him."
Now Luke understood why, back in the day, he went all out trying to figure out every key player on the Island of Despair but had no clue about this Abel that Luca mentioned.
Him not being around the Island of Despair often explained why he was not on Luke's radar.
Only people like Gale and Rain, who had spent years on the Island of Despair, would have a clue about this guy. Furthermore, Abel was a cautious man. He went as far as getting plastic surgery to rebuild the Island of Despair without getting recognized...
"Back then, I stuck close to Kassy. That was when I got a chance to meet this dude. He had a grip on a third of the Island of Despair's assets and was busy laundering money for Robert. He was really busy.
"But every the swung by the Island of Despair, he'd cozy up to Kassy. Boss, you ruined the woman he loved the most and put her in jail. It's pretty normal for him to hate you,” Rain could not help but heave a sigh.
Abel used to be known for his devotion. Even when he was out and about, he kept it clean for Kassy, never messing around.
His actions were shady, but his love gwas as serious as their boss'.
Thus, with Luke destroying Abel's beloved and tossing her behind bars, it was like a tit-for-tat situation. It was expected.
However, Abel not only harmed their boss' woman but also kidnapped their little girl. Their boss would not let this slide easily.
This mess could only be sorted out once Luke took care of Abel and wiped out the other forces on the Island of Despair.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"He's not gonna have a good tahead." Luke pulled out another set of documents and flipped through them. Once he found out Abel ran a biopharmaceutical company, he had his men dig deeper into Abel's other identities.
Luke had already got a good handle on quite a bit of it.
At the stime, he was surprised to find out that Abel had several identities and passports in A City.
With his top-notch disguise skills, he was able to smoothly breeze through the customs.
A City's border control was usually strict, but Abel's disguises were on another level. After a moment of silence, Luke turned to one of Ray's subordinates and said, "I'm heading to Russia to meet with Mr. Lacroix in a while."
"Okay, Mr. Crawford. I'll take off first if there's nothing else. Boss toldto check on Ms. Vivian and see how she's doing lately," replied the man as he rose to his feet.
"Alright. Gale, please see our guest out." Luke instructed Gale.
Gale also stood up to see Ray's subordinate off.
Rain stayed back in his office and asked, "Boss, what should we do next?"
"I reckon he's got plenty of identities in A City and other countries. If we want to keep tabs on this guy, we need to know all his aliases. The moment he switches to any of them, we should be ready to make a move," suggested Luke.
He meant they should continue investigating Abel's other identities.
Their goal was not just to catch Abel. It was to wipe out the Island of Despair and rescue Nyla.
Without Abel, someone else might step up and lead the organization to carry on with their shady business. Their existence could throw the world into chaos.
Therefore, Luke planned to shut down on any chance of their comeback.
"Alright, got it. I'll keep digging," Rain agreed with Luke's approach.
This time, taking down the Island of Despair was different from the last. Back then, she and Gale had a deep understanding of the Island of Despair. Coupled with Luke being undercover for a while, they had a lot of intel on the organization's activities and geography.
