However, Amur could not catch evidence of Luca lying to him. "Got it. If anything happens, I'll tell you."

"You need to protect yourself, Amur. We'll be free soon," replied Luca.

Amur was taken aback for a moment.

Freedom? He knew how to read and write the word, but he had never dared to dream about it.

Perhaps he once used to dream about it.

When they were still on the Island of Despair, Luca told him what freedom was, and he had dreamed about it then.

Standing in the outside world meant freedom.

However, as days passed with the brutal training on the Island of Despair, he realized that even when he was out there, he was not free at all.

Despite having control over much of his time, he was still bound by the commands of the Island of Despair. He also had to regularly return to the base for the antidote.

Without the antidote, he might have more freedom, but it would come at the cost of his life.

Amur never doubted that he could sacrifice his life for a moment of freedom.

However, he had a burden on his back now. That meant he could not make freedom contingent on giving up his life.

If something happened to him, things would be terrible for Eler and Luca on the Island of Despair.

Hence, Amur did not need that kind of freedom.

"Luca, why do you say that?" Amur knew that Luca had developed the antidote.

Still, what good was the antidote? Their most valued people were still on the Island of Despair.

As long as Eler and Nyla were still there, they would not be free.
