Amur did understand her situation. However, he had feelings for Luca, which was why he disagreed with what she was doing now.

"Haven't you considered that we can't fight against the whole Island of Despair if it's only you and me?" Amur reminded her.

It did not matter if he was discovered. The worst they would do was throw his body into the ocean. However, Luca had so much to lose. Was she really going to take the risk for Luke, that useless man?

What would happen to Nyla if something happened to her?

A little girl growing up on the Island of Despair. There was no doubt what kind of person she would become in the future if she was left alone there.

That was why Nyla needed Luca's company.

"I'm sorry. That was rather sudden..." Luca was startled. She did not expect Amur, who had always supported her, to be against it so much.

Sure enough, judging from Abel's power and influence, not everyone dared to stand against him.

Amur listened to Luca's tone and let out a sigh. "Forget about it. There's no point talking about this now. I'll help you look into Watson Biopharmaceuticals and also T Corporation. I'm guessing Abel must have placed his people in both companies. I'll try to track them down and get their identities."

Luke was a capable man, but he had so many companies under him. He was not responsible for the recruitment either, so it was easy for Abel to arrange for a few of his men to join Luke's companies.

Once those people who had gone through the training on the Island of Despair were recruited by Luke's companies, they would rely on the abilities they had attained during their training to help them excel in their work and get promoted.

Those who relied on their capabilities alone without being affected by the others would not arouse Luke's suspicion.

"Thank you, Amur." Luca did not expect he would change his mind to help her.

"You can't fight Abel alone. I don't want to see Nyla losing her mother at such a young age," Amur replied stubbornly on purpose.

Luca knew he cared about her. When she met him for the first time, she knew she had to save this lad.

"I have to thank you no matter what. It's late. Don't drink too much. Get some rest. I have something to do tomorrow. I'm going to sleep first." Luca hung up the call after that.
