Gale could not read his lips to make out what he was saying because the car was in the way.
He frowned when he saw the car leaving. The license plate was half-covered. He picked up the walkie- talkie and said, "Is Rain
there?"
"Yes," Rain replied.
"A Mercedes-Benz Unimog. The front part of the license plate number is P425, and the back part is covered. I'm following it now.
Drive here and take over. I have to complete the task that the boss assigned me." Gale drove and slowly followed behind the
black SUV.
"Got it," Rain replied.
Three minutes later, Gale saw Rain's car coming out of the corner.
"I'll follow them. You can go to complete your task now." Rain's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Gale said, "There are at least two people in the car on top of the driver. There may be weapons on them. Make sure you stay
safe."
"Understood. Don't worry," Rain replied.
Gale stepped on the gas and overtook the off-roader, lest they had any suspicions.
At the same time, he also paid attention to the signal of the person following Luca. He glanced at it and found that Luca seemed
to be heading back to the hotel.
Gale drove to the hotel.
...
In a restaurant.
Luke was having a meal with his subordinates. He did not say a word. The private room was silent, and no one dared to say a
word.
The phone on the table vibrated.
Luke picked it up and found that he received a new email. He had the habit of checking emails in time, so he clicked on the
email.
At the same time, Jason's phone also vibrated. He took it out, glanced at Luke, and also tapped on his phone screen.
Jason could not remain calm after he saw the email. He immediately handed the phone to Luke. "Boss!"
Luke glanced at his phone. It was an email, and the content was roughly the same as what he received.
He handed his phone to Jason.
"Uhh..." Jason was stunned. His email told him that there was an organization that got paid to mess with Luke.
Luke's email told him that an organization had sent people to assassinate him.
Luke was very calm, which was in stark juxtaposition with Jason, who was losing it. He knew that he had to take it seriously,
regardless of whether the email was a prank.
After all, this was Russia. There were people from the Island of Despair at work.
The Island of Despair had a grudge against Luke. He once took a group of people to blow up their former organization and
locked up the relevant people in the strictest prison forever.
Therefore, no matter who was the mastermind behind the Island of Despair now, they must hate him.
Otherwise, they would not have sent a fake Bianca to his side.
Luke glanced at the dinner table. The others were almost done with dinner.
Mr. Zac saw the two's reactions, especially Jason's restlessness. He asked in a low voice, "Mr. Crawford, what's wrong?"
"Are you full?" Luke did not answer Mr. Zac's question.
"Boss, we're full," the other employees said.
Luke looked at Mr. Zac and said, "Mr. Zac, take them back to the hotel. If you have nothing on for tonight, rest early. We'll go to M
Group to sign the contract tomorrow well-rested."
Mr. Zac obeyed his arrangement. He stood up and said, "Okay, Mr. Crawford."
The other employees also stood up. Since the boss told them to leave, even if they were not full, they had to leave.
They left the private room, leaving Jason and Luke alone.
"Boss, do you think this is a prank?" Jason asked. Nevertheless, he did not dare to take the risk.
They could not as easily mobilize manpower to keep Luke safe in Russia as compared to A City.
"If it's a prank, there's no need to send two emails. One email would be enough to take it seriously." Luke picked up the phone.
What he thought about was not who wanted to assassinate him but who notified him.
He called Ray first.
The call was connected, and he said, "Ray, someone wants to assassinate me."
Jason listened to the call and read the email again. ‘What if someone is playing a prank? But the boss' intuition...'
He stopped talking.
"Who?" Ray asked, frowning.
He was still interrogating the infiltrator from the Island of Despair when Luke told him that someone was going to assassinate
him.
"I don't know. I need your help," Luke said.
"Where are you now? I'll send people over." Ray immediately jumped in to help him.
Luke gave him the restaurant's address.
"Wait there. I'll have Hansen bring some men over now," Ray said.
"Mm." Luke ended the call and sent a text to Percy. He asked him to log into his mailbox to find out who sent him the email and
what the IP address was.
After he was done with all of that, he sat there without any intention of leaving as if he was waiting for the food to be served
instead of assassins.
"Did you bring my checkbook?" Luke asked.
"Yes, Boss." Jason took the checkbook from his briefcase.
Luke wrote a string of numbers on the check.
"Boss, you are..." Jason wondered.
"Take this to the owner of the restaurant and tell him that I want to book out this restaurant. Get everyone outside to leave. I don't
want anyone else here," Luke said.
He did not plan to go back to the hotel and wait.
After all, the distance on the street would make him an easy target.
'They want to mess with me? Let them come. Although my legs and feet aren't mobile, it's easier to hide here.'
Therefore, no one else should be at the restaurant, lest the innocent victims get dragged into it.
Jason understood what he meant. He picked up the check and walked out.
The owner was a compatriot, and there were not many people dining in the restaurant at the moment. When Jason gave him the
check and told him that he wanted the whole restaurant to themselves, he immediately agreed.
After he compensated the customers from the few tables, the boss confirmed it with Jason, saying, "Sir, do you not need any
waiters?"
"No need." Jason shook his head. "Please leave now."
"Okay, sir." The restaurant owner left with the staff.
Luke and Jason were the only ones left in the restaurant now.
Jason returned to the private room and said, "Boss, everyone else in the restaurant has already left. I've closed the door as well."
"Mm." Luke controlled the wheelchair to face the entrance of the private room.
"Boss, do you want me to inform Gale and the others?" Jason asked. After all, he was unsure when Ray's men would arrive.
If it were a normal day, they could delay the other party for a while even without weapons. After all, they were trained.
However, Luke's legs were injured now and he had to rely on a wheelchair. He was too large of a target.
Luke was not nimble now and could not dodge attacks easily.
"Gale and Rain aren't at the hotel," Luke said.
"Huh?" Jason was surprised.
"Luca's not in the hotel," Luke said. They would quietly follow Luca whenever she went out.
