Percy felt a sense of helplessness wash over him as they mentioned the kidnapping of his younger brother. He had to wait for Mr. Bennet to gather all the surveillance footage.

They waited in silence for the manager to serve them the appetizer. It was not until the manager had finally left their room that Luke finally spoke, "It's probably him.”

Percy arched an eyebrow and picked the most expensive wine bottle, cracking it open. "Who do you suspect?"

"The Island of Despair," replied Luke. The name rolled off his tongue like a bitter pill. It was a name they were all too familiar with.

Percy's expression darkened at the mention of the Island of Despair. When he had first heard about his brother's kidnapping, he, too, had suspected them.

However, he could not fathom why they would target Pierre.

That was why he did not continue thinking about it.

"Pierre bought the bidding document of the T Corporation from them back then. Then, he ended up worse when he tried to take advantage of it. He's been holding a grudge against them ever since. That's why he's been investigating the Island of Despair for a while now. It's just that he just wasn't capable enough to get to the bottom of it," explained Luke. He found some evidence that the Island of Despair had something to do with the stolen bidding document from the information that Percy gave him.

Besides, Luca stole the bidding document. It was enough to prove that it was the Island of Despair who sold it to Pierre.

"But why kidnap him now?" Jim chimed in with his curiosity piqued. "If they want revenge, why not just kill him?"

"They want money, I guess." Luke turned to look at Percy.

"Yes." Percy nodded in agreement, believing Luke's theory.

"But your grandfather is mad at him now. Will he really give them what they want if they ask for ransom?" Jim could not help but ask with curiosity. A few days ago, he was informed that Old Master Mallory would not help to clean up Pierre's mess. It was Karen who had been dealing with it.

However, there was a lot to deal with, and she was overwhelmed by the extent of it.

That was probably why Karen went looking for Luke when she found out that Pierre got kidnapped. She could not take it anymore.
