"Hey, Uncle. Is anything going on over there?" the person on the other end of the call asked as soon as the call connected.

Stan blinked his eyes, neither struggling nor making a sound.

The caller waited for a response and asked again, "Did the plan go through over there? Say something!"

It was still silent.

The caller muttered to himself when he heard no sound, "Darn it, what rotten luck. He didn't even put his phone away properly while sleeping. What's going on? Those two haven't called either."

As the man complained, he hung up the call.

Luke's eyes darkened as the words of the caller confirmed what Stan had said.

The phone in his hand rang again.

Luke glanced at it. It was still Stan's nephew calling.

He probably wanted to know what was going on over here.

Luke set the phone aside, letting it ring incessantly. He turned to look at Luca.

"So what do we do now?" asked Luca. She had doubts about Stan's identity before. It was only because Luke really needed her that she decided to follow him down.

She thought if it was someone from the Island of Despair, it would be best to hand them over to Gale.

After all, few on the Island of Despair were innocent.

However, it was evident that Stan was not from the Island of Despair. However, he had seen Luke and her pressuring him together. This was definitely not something they wanted others to know.

Otherwise, both she and Luke would be in trouble.

Luca was in a dilemma.

Stan had not done anything wrong. He was mainly just keeping an eye on Luke. He was involved in this incident, but a case like this could simply be handed over to the police. There was no need to involve Gale.

Even though Luca had learned to be ruthless on the Island of Despair, she could not bring herself to act against someone who had not harmed her much. She was also not the type to turn against one's own family.

Clearly, Luke felt the same.
