Gale waved his hand to Luke and said, "Boss, I'll go to the police station first."

"Okay." Luke nodded.

Ever since Gale started working for Luke, he often dealt with the police. He knew what to say and what not to say, so Luke was not worried that Gale would say the wrong thing.

After everything was resolved, Luke closed the door.

Then, he returned to the main house. He thought about Stan, whom he had knocked unconscious. He also thought about Luca, who was waiting for his news upstairs.

Luke slowly made his way up the stairs, pushed open the door of the master bedroom, and said, "I'm back."

"Is it settled?" Luca was sitting on the couch at the moment. When she saw Luke, she shot up from her seat in the blink of an eye.

"Yes, but there's still a problem downstairs." Luke pointed downward.

"Stan?" Even though Luke did not specify, Luca guessed that the trouble he mentioned was Stan.

"Yes, I've knocked him unconscious. I need to interrogate him next, and I may need your help,” replied Luke. He knew that Luca had various methods to wake up Stan right away.

"Okay." Luca quickly walked to the luggage and took out a packet of needles from a hidden compartment. Then, she headed downstairs with Luke.

The two of them arrived downstairs and walked down the hallway to the butler's quarters, where they found Stan slumped against the wall, unconscious.

He appeared to be leaning against the wall, but in reality, he was barely propped up. He would have collapsed to the ground a few minutes later.

"Did you use too much force?" Luca stood in front of Stan. She grew concerned as he had not budged an inch.

Even though Stan was from the Island of Despair, he was approaching old age. Considering he was on the brink of old age, mishandling him might just result in serious harm.

"I was careful with my strength. Don't worry, he'll be fine,” assured Luke.

Luca nodded and replied, "Why don’t you carry him in?"

Luke frowned, clearly reluctant to have any contact with Stan.

"Or should I do it?" Luca understood his thoughts, so she handed him the needles. "Hold these for me. I'll carry him in."

Having Luca carry Stan would only let the old man take advantage of her.
