Percy felt a sense of helplessness wash over him as they mentioned the kidnapping of his younger


    brother. He had to wait for Mr. Be to gather all the surveince footage.


    They waited in silence for the manager to serve them the appetizer. It was not until the manager had


    finally left their room that Luke finally spoke, "It''s probably him.”


    Percy arched an eyebrow and picked the most expensive wine bottle, cracking it open. "Who do you


    suspect?"


    "The Ind of Despair," replied Luke. The name rolled off his tongue like a bitter pill. It was a name


    they were all too familiar with.


    Percy''s expression darkened at the mention of the Ind of Despair. When he had first heard about his


    brother''s kidnapping, he, too, had suspected them.


    However, he could not fathom why they would target Pierre.


    That was why he did not continue thinking about it.


    "Pierre bought the bidding document of the T Corporation from them back then. Then, he ended up


    worse when he tried to take advantage of it. He''s been holding a grudge against them ever since.


    That''s why he''s been investigating the Ind of Despair for a while now. It''s just that he just wasn''t


    capable enough to get to the bottom of it," exined Luke. He found some evidence that the Ind of


    Despair had something to do with the stolen bidding document from the information that Percy gave


    him.


    Besides, Luca stole the bidding document. It was enough to prove that it was the Ind of Despair who


    sold it to Pierre.


    "But why kidnap him now?" Jim chimed in with his curiosity piqued. "If they want revenge, why not just


    kill him?"


    "They want money, I guess." Luke turned to look at Percy.


    "Yes." Percy nodded in agreement, believing Luke''s theory.


    "But your grandfather is mad at him now. Will he really give them what they want if they ask for


    ransom?" Jim could not help but ask with curiosity. A few days ago, he was informed that Old Master


    Mallory would not help to clean up Pierre''s mess. It was Karen who had been dealing with it.


    However, there was a lot to deal with, and she was overwhelmed by the extent of it.


    That was probably why Karen went looking for Luke when she found out that Pierre got kidnapped. She


    could not take it anymore.


    "Who knows?" Percy poured wine for the two of them. The person he could not figure out the most in


    the Mallory family was Old Master Mallory.


    Old Master Mallory was only concerned about Pierre''s affairs now because Karen was mentally


    unstable.


    If Karen were fine, the old master probably would not be bothered about these things.


    "So, is there anything we can help with?" Jim picked up his ss of wine and sniffed it.


    Although he had not been drinking for a long time, his past experiences told him that Percy had spent a


    lot of money on this.


    The wine stored here was indeed good, and it was basically priceless.


    "Let''s raid their hideout since it''s the Ind of Despair that''s behind this.” Percy narrowed his eyes. He


    did not expect the organization to behave so arrogantly after they came back.


    They went straight to their target, the Mallory family.


    It was no different from how they had targeted Luke back then.


    However, the person who had the guts to mess with them would eventually end up just like how the


    Ind of Despair ended up back then—wiped out.


    Percy drank his wine in one gulp as his expression darkened.


    He was not mad at the Ind of Despair kidnapping Pierre. After all, Pierre had done many ridiculous


    things over the years. It was good that someone could teach him a lesson.


    Still, he would never allow the Ind of Despair to have any inappropriate ideas toward the Mallory


    family.


    Messing with the Mallory family also meant that they were messing with him...


    Luke held a wine ss in his hand. The dim light of the private room cast a shadow over his face.


    "Then let''s get rid of them," said Luke.


    "I agree." Jim took a sip of wine, agreeing with Luke''s suggestion without much thought.


    Percy nced at Luke and asked, "How?"


    "Marcos told me that he discovered somethingtely. We''ll be able to make a move once I''ve confirmed


    with him," replied Luke. This was initially his own matter. Percy and Jim only came to help.


    However, even the Mallory family had been provoked now. No matter how powerful the organization


    was, they could not let them off the hook.


    "In that case, shall we have another round and toast to our cooperation?" Jim raised his ss.


    Luke and Percy raised their sses and clinked them with Jim''s ss.


    "Thank you." Percy took a big sip of wine. He could not deal with the Ind of Despair himself. Only


    with Luke''s and Jim''s help would Percy have the confidence to destroy the Ind of Despair as they


    didst time.


    "I''m in this too." Luke''s voice was low and hoarse. Luca was currently under the control of the Ind of


    Despair. He was also helping himself while helping Percy.


    Luca''s true identity was Bianca. He could not live without her for the rest of his life.


    Jim narrowed his eyes and looked at Luke. "Are you sure it won''t affect your family if we take any


    actions?"


    After all, they were all guessing that the organization must have something important on Luca, leaving


    her with no choice but to be controlled by them.


    ording to how the impostor Bianca had behaved, Luca might have been given some drugs, which


    was why she was being forced to carry out the missions assigned to her by the Ind of Despair. That


    was also why she could not tell Luke about it.


    "Gale said that before the organization was wiped out, Robert already had people studying drugs that


    could control people. We''re sure that the Ind of Despair is already using the drug, judging from what


    happened to the impostor Bianca back then. Therefore, the Ind of Despair must be using the drug to


    control Luca. Luca would always leave T Corporation or Watson Biopharmaceuticals in the middle of


    every month without letting my men follow her. She probably goes to meet them to take the antidote,"


    Luke analyzed.


    He had already figured it out a long time ago.


    "This is difficult. Will she end up like the impostor Bianca if the Ind of Despair is wiped out...?" Jim


    furrowed his brows and paused.


    They had to get rid of the Ind of Despair, but Luca''s life may not be spared if they did that.


    Jim did not think that Luke would give up Luca for the sake of the greater good.


    "I trust Luca. She''ll find a way to develop the antidote," said Luke. He only opened theboratory to the


    company''s researchers for Luca''s sake.


    He knew that Luca would be able to develop the antidote with the advanced equipment in the


    laboratory.


    Furthermore, the antidote would be the drug to neutralize the poison that the Ind of Despair was


    using to control everyone there.


    Jim and Percy exchanged nces with each other. After a while, Jim asked, "When are you nning to


    get Luca to confess to you her true identity?"

    Luke frowned.


    There was no news from Watsons stating whether Luca''s research had seeded or not.


    He could only wait for Luca to develop the antidote. Only then could he force Luca to tell him her true


    identity.


    Luca loved him and her children so much. She would not bear to abandon them.


    “I''ll have to see. Marcos will be traveling to A City. He''ll bring us good news,” replied Luke.


    To express his gratitude for the favor he received, Marcos utilized his influence in Russia to investigate


    the Ind of Despair. To his surprise, his efforts yielded results, though not in the way he expected.


    The discovery that was made was not a piece of evidence or a cluebut rather a person.
