Luca listened to the man's words and frowned. “Do you think I'm deliberately making things difficult for the two of you?"

"You shouldn't blame us for what happened just now. We didn't know there were people without tattoos on the Island of Despair... Besides, there's no way you can prove your true identity, right?" The woman hoped that Luca could have mercy on them and stop putting them on the spot.

Luca crossed her arms and said in a cold voice, "I'm not a sensitive person. And I know the two of you are just being extra careful in order to survive. Everyone here is trying to stay alive. Why should I make things difficult for you? You can bring these herbs and wild grasses back to the Island of Despair if you refuse to believe what I said. Whatever Dr. Shanks says upon receiving the herbs will have nothing to do with me."

The man and the woman exchanged glances with each other. They began to believe that Luca was not deliberately putting them on the spot. It seemed that they had been deceived.

"How did this happen? It took us so much time to search for these.." The woman crouched down, feeling depressed as she stared blankly at those fake herbs.

Luca could not help but feel helpless when she saw how depressed the woman was. She reminded her, "I believe Dr. Shanks told you before you came here. Some herbs are on the verge of extinction. So, it's normal that such herbs are difficult to find. Keep on looking. Collect the herbs if you don't know how to differentiate them. Then let me take a look and judge them."

"But we'll have to spend a lot of time doing this. Why don't you come with us?" The woman's eyes brightened up. They did not know how to differentiate those herbs, and they would get easily get deceived. However, the woman in front of them knew how to differentiate the herbs, and she could distinguish the genuine and fake ones. It would make things much easier if they brought her along with them.

"I can't leave. I'm carrying out a mission too. Just try to collect as many herbs as you can and bring them back here. Dr. Shanks is patient. He won't blame the two of you for taking up so much time," said Luca, trying to ease their worries.

Shanks was the kindest person Luca knew on the Island of Despair.

Although he appeared to be cold and indifferent, he was much more reasonable than Abel was.

The man and woman let out a sigh.

"Use the same method to inform me again once you've found the herbs. I have something else to do and have to go." Luca did not stay any longer. She looked at the pile of useless herbs, and it reminded her of Dr. Albus.

So much effort had been poured, but it was all for nothing.

That was what happened to these two people, Dr. Albus, and Luca herself too.
