“Even though I hate Pierre, I hope he's okay." Nina rested her head on Percy's chest, feeling the warmth of his body and the strong thumping of his heart.

Nina was no saint. The reason why she hoped Pierre was fine was because she did not want the days ahead to be difficult for Percy.

Especially when both Karen and Old Master Mallory were concerned about his life.

If they failed to save Pierre this time and if something happened to him, Old Master Mallory and Karen would definitely blame Percy. Their days ahead would get harder and harder.

Therefore, even though Nina held a grudge against Pierre, she still prayed that nothing bad would happen to him.

Percy cupped her face and planted a hot, wet kiss on her forehead.

He was destined to not get any sleep tonight.

After all, what happened to Pierre was different from anything they had experienced before.

Previously, he could personally participate in it while knowing the scores. However, Pierre was being held captive in X City at the moment while he had to stay in A City.

The Island of Despair had a base in A City. They might be watching them from somewhere outside.

If Percy left A City, the members in X City would be informed and Pierre could be moved to another place any time. This would nullify the efforts made by Gordan earlier.

Hence, Percy had no choice but to wait in A City and call the shots behind the scene. He could not make any real moves to rescue Pierre.

Neither could Luke nor Jim.

That was why Percy felt so uneasy. He could not participate in this mission. He could only wait for the results.

This made him more anxious than those who were waiting to take action.

Percy could not sleep, but Nina had to.

He urged her to rest, "It's getting late. Go to sleep."

Nina hesitated for a moment but eventually shook her head. She could tell that Percy had no intention of resting.

How could she rest?
