"We can't interfere with other people's business. Let's focus on our work," said Luca as she tucked away her phone and continued with her experiment.

At present, everything Luke did was to vent her frustrations.

She could not retaliate against Karen. It was not because she lacked the ability. It was just that once she took action, it could potentially have significant repercussions.

She did not necessarily have to surpass Luke, but sometimes, she needed various abilities to protect herself and her children while supporting Luke.

Abel had none at the moment. He could discipline Luca, but if news of such a thing spread back to the Island of Despair, it would cause panic and dissatisfaction among the people.
