"Yes. They're supposed to pay the ransom today. But everything's already been resolved. Pierre has been rescued. He should be on his way to A City now." Luke did not hide anything from her.

Luke decided not to keep anything from her when he noticed how anxious Luca was in the morning.

Even though she was not involved in Pierre's matter, she was related to it in some way. Otherwise, she would not have looked so absent-minded.

Luke did not want to see Luca upset.

Luca was surprised. She did not expect Pierre to be rescued last night.

If Pierre was rescued, then Amur would not have to go and collect the ransom today.

Luca's mood became calmer. She was eager to know the details of the rescue operation. "Who saved Mr. Pierre?" asked Luca.

“Gordan," answered Luke honestly.

Luca was aware that it was Luke's men who saved him if Gordan was involved in it.

Even though Gordan was not solely working for Luke, they had a close relationship, and they would always help each other out.

"Oh, it's Mr. Norton..." Luca nodded and took a sip of soy milk. Her appetite came back as she set aside her worries.

"How's Mr. Pierre doing?" Luca took a bite of the bread. She was curious about Pierre's exact condition as Amur told her what happened to him before.

"Not so good. Gordan said that his leg is most likely lame, and he's skin and bones," Luke told her what Gordan reported to him.

Luca understood.

The people of the Island of Despair would not treat their hostages kindly even if they had an ulterior motive.

Anyone who was not part of the organization would not be regarded as human whether they were kidnapped or captured by them.

Pierre's emaciation and malnourishment must have been due to mistreatment.
