After Marlon finished speaking, he quickly walked away.At this moment, whoever was the last to leave would have to take care of Stan.Marlon would not bother with something so strenuous when he did not even have the energy for it.As Gerald watched Marlon leave, he could not help but secretly let out a sneer. He ran faster than anyone else when it came to standing up for his own brother, but he bailed when there was no profit to be gained? He turned around to look at Stan.He had been groaning because of the pain and had not participated in their conversation.Gerald felt impatient. He wanted to make a phone call, but Stan had lost his memory now. He could not make the call in front of him.If Stan found out anything, he might betray Gerald to save himself. At the thought of this, Gerald said, "Uncle Stan, bear with me for a moment. I'll go out and make a phone call."Stan continued tossing and turning on the ward bed, paying no attention to Gerald's words because of the pain
Actually, it would have been better to wear shoes, but Luca could not be bothered to change into them now. Slippers were not a good option either. That was why she simply took off her slippers.As Luke watched her yank off her slippers, he shook his head helplessly and picked up her slippers. "Be careful.”In the meantime, Luca had already grabbed onto the protruding rocks of the outer wall and started climbing up.Initially, to blend with the scenery of X City, all the outer walls were built with stones. Thus, they had an uneven surface. The walls looked beautiful and more natural this way, but this also had its downsides. It made climbing easy.Therefore, Luke had infrared alarms installed around the top of the outer walls to deter anyone from attempting to climb over.Climbing this wall was quite easy for those with rock climbing experience.The real challenge was to jump up when reaching the top to avoid the infrared scan and then jump down the wall."How high are the infr
Luca had a quick thought and realized that this might be Gerald deliberately stalling for time. Even if Luke suspected Stan, with the police intervening, they would not be able to look into Stan so quickly.The point was how Gerald believed doing this would be effective. From the police's perspective, Luke was the victim in this case."Are you going to the police station later?" asked Luca. If the police called, they would want Luke to cooperate with the investigation. "If it's urgent, I'll fry you some eggs.""Not at all. Gale went to the police station this morning to explain the situation. The police will come here later to take photos for evidence," replied Luke. Gale rushed to the police station early in the morning to inform them of the millions of dollars of damages to the car.When the police learned this, they said they would send someone to collect evidence. When the two thieves were caught, they were not wearing gloves. Therefore, when the police came to the scen
"Later, Mr. Crawford found out that Mr. Muller, the butler, had fallen downstairs and fainted. Since the danger outside had been resolved, he came to call me downstairs to check on Mr. Muller's condition," said Luca."I know some medical skills, but as soon as I found out that Mr. Muller had fallen, I told Mr. Crawford to call the ambulance. It was only then that I went downstairs to examine Mr. Muller." Luca explained in detail. All of this had been planned out with Luke.Luke had tampered with the surveillance. Therefore, in the surveillance footage, her descent downstairs occurred after Luke made the emergency call. The hospital would also have records, so Luca was not worried about any loopholes.Perhaps due to the nature of the Island of Despair, Luke's and her extra vigilance left no room for anyone to exploit loopholes.While Luke was about to make the emergency call, Luca had already worked out the timeline with Luke.The police noted down and asked again, "Do you reme
Abel sat on the couch. The genuine leather couch engulfed half of his body. He adjusted into a comfortable position and stared straight ahead at the person before him.Gerald felt his heart race under Abel's gaze. Was he in trouble?"Beat him," Abel suddenly spoke in Russian.Gerald did not understand what he meant and turned to look at those men beside him. After they received Abel's command, they immediately began raining blows on Gerald."Stop it, stop it! I was wrong, I was wrong!" After getting beaten up so many times, Gerald instinctively crouched down and hugged his head to protect himself."Hit him, and hit him hard!" Abel's eyes were fierce. Even though he did not understand what Gerald said and no one was interpreting it for him, he could tell Gerald was pleading for mercy.Half an hour later, Gerald collapsed. His face was swollen and bruised, and his limbs were covered in bruises. Gerald was miserable, but no one begged for mercy for him. The two men who beat him
Gerald recalled the number he was assigned in the organization. He reminisced about how thrilled he was when he first received it. Joining the Island of Despair made him feel respectable and prestigious. After all, it brought in a handsome income. Yet, Gerald only felt regret now."091," uttered Gerald."Mm." Shanks picked up his phone and dialed another number. "You threw 091 to me. How can I possibly rescue someone alone?""You have the capability to save him," Abel's voice came from the other end of the phone. "But if you don't want to, that's fine too. He's just trash anyway. He's incapable of doing anything right. If you don't want to save him, let him breathe his last and dispose of him.""Easy for you to say." Shanks looked at Gerald coldly and said to Abel, "Send two men up."Abel replied, "Alright. I didn't expect you to still have the intention to save him.""So, are we saving him or not?" Shanks’ tone was impatient. Abel was truly incomprehensible. First, Abel wa
"Disinfect his wounds. He has a fracture. Be careful," Shanks handed the disinfectant to Oscar and Russ. "Try to disinfect his wounds as thoroughly as possible.""Mr. Shanks..." Russ refused to do such a thing."Do it. You have no choice." Shanks' expression was frosty. It was a silent warning that brooked no refusal from them.Russ cursed those two who had hurt Gerald. Now, they had to clean up the mess for them. He wondered what their boss was thinking, keeping this man in the team. Clearly, he was useless. It would have been better to throw him out onto the streets and let him die. Why bother saving him?The two men reluctantly took the iodine and cotton swabs. They helped to disinfect Gerald's wounds. They also followed Shanks' instructions and tried to be as gentle as possible during the disinfection process.However, Gerald still screamed in pain as though he was being slaughtered.Russ looked disgusted. Soon, they finished disinfecting Gerald’s wounds.Gerald had no
After Shanks finished his words, he turned around and went upstairs.The man beside Abel observed Shanks' attitude toward Abel and could not help but feel a bit indignant on Abel's behalf. Thus, he said, "Boss, why does Mr. Shanks always seem to overlook you?"Abel glanced at the man beside him and rolled his eyes at him. "If you were as capable as Shanks, you could talk to me like that too."The man immediately lowered his head and expressed his loyalty, "I may not be as capable as Mr. Shanks is, but I'll always be loyal to you.""Oh? Then you'd better practice what you preach. Book a flight to A City for tomorrow morning," ordered Abel. Even though the distance between X City and A City was not far, flying was the safest option for Abel.He did not intend to let anyone drive him there. The journey by road was too long, and it would be too easy for someone to ambush him along the way. There were probably many people who wanted to kill him, but most of them did not know his tr
