It was the same question again, and Gale withdrew his gaze. He continued to study the floor plan sent by Luke to compare it to
the photos of the surroundings. “We still need to do more research on this."
“You really didn't hear anything in the hotel?" Rain asked again.
Gale shook his head. “I couldn't hear what they were saying. Their voices weren't very loud either."
As Luca walked away, Rain lowered her gaze. “Then, we have to continue researching."
It was nightfall.
After Luca had collected the photos of the surrounding environment, she returned to the hotel and sat there the entire time.
Wolf and Klein were not talkative people. They just fidgeted with what was in their hand. Meanwhile, Eira had been staring at
Luca so intensely she almost burned a hole through her head.
Luca did not care about her malicious gaze.
She could understand her behavior.
If anyone were to hurt Luke, she reckoned that she would be much more ruthless than Eira.
What surprised her even more was the fact that there was a couple like Eira and Jake on the Island of Despair.
Judging from how Eira treated her, she could tell that she was very close with Jake.
Not many people had emotions on the Island of Despair.
Most of the men there regarded women as prey, while the rest of them did not have any interest in women.
As for the women on the Island of Despair, they had to be strong enough to protect themselves. Otherwise, they would be
preyed on by the men there.
Abel had no humanity whatsoever. He often preached that the weak were the prey of the strong, so it was no surprise that he
would just disregard the safety of the women there.
Time dragged past, and Luca grew indescribably uneasy as she watched time pass slower and slower.
Finally, it was time to get ready.
Wolf stood up and opened the cabinet. He took out a bag that was half the size of a human and threw it on the floor.
Eira and Klein stood up simultaneously.
Wolf opened the bag and said, “The weapons given to us for this mission are all in here. Pick the one you like best."
Klein looked at the weapons in the bag and frowned. "They're all so outdated..."
"You want advanced ones? They're in the evidence room in the police station. Retrieve them and you can use them for your next
mission," Wolf said indifferently. As long as the weapons could still be used, it did not matter whether they were old or new.
Klein clicked his tongue in disapproval. Their boss said that this was a very important mission, yet he was still so stingy with the
choice of weapons.
Perhaps theirs would be no match for the Russian police's weapons.
He chose a submachine pistol from the bag and held it in his hands. It seemed like it would be quite handy.
Eira glanced at Luca and found a black pistol in the bag.
Wolf stopped her. "Now is not the right time to take revenge. If this mission goes wrong, Jake's life will be at stake too."
"I know what to do," said Eira through gritted teeth after she had her intentions seen through by Wolf.
Wolf let go and took a step back. He looked toward Luca. "Your turn."
Luca took a glance at her phone and saw that it was already 12. Luke must already be fast asleep.
She was a little surprised that he had not called to ask where she was.
"Ivana?" Wolf noticed that she had no intention of picking a weapon, so he called her name again.
Luca finally came to her senses and walked over to the bag. Then, she picked a whip.
"That's it?" Wolf frowned. She picked a cold weapon to go up against the armed Russian police.
"I have this too.." Luca bent over and pulled out a dagger from her boots.
Eira laughed contemptuously. "As expected from an outlander."
Wolf insisted. "You should pick a gun."
"I don't need it," said Luca. Guns were fatal. Even if one was familiar with the structure of the human body, there were still too
many uncertainties when shooting.
Even if she were to shoot at non-fatal body parts, the gunshot wound may still cause serious injuries because of the other party's
movement. That was why she did not want a hot weapon.
Moreover, they were only after the few guns in the evidence room. They were not after lives.
"They have guns!" Wolf warned her.
"I can dodge the bullets," Luca said faintly.
"The other party has guns. How are you going to dodge the bullets?" Wolf was clearly in disbelief. This time, he just wanted the
mission to be a success without her being a hindrance.
Luca looked up and reminded him, "Four armed people barged into a restaurant with over ten people inside, but no one got shot
either."
Four gunmen faced more than a dozen moving targets but failed to wound any of them.
The worst injury any of them had was someone who accidentally scratched themselves on glass shards when fighting the
opponent.
Wolf was left speechless as she was not wrong.
The four people on the Island of Despair, armed with the most advanced weapons, could not hurt a single person.
“If they can hide, then I can hide better than them. You can try me," said Luca.
“Let's try it, then! I'll see if you can dodge my pistol!" Eira could not stand listening to her mocking Jake and the others any
longer, so she raised her pistol.
“Eira!" Wolf berated as he looked at Eira who got so agitated that she drew her pistol after a small remark from Luca.
Eira glared at Luca. “She was the one who said she wanted to try it."
“We're half an hour away from starting the mission. Are you really going to do this?" Wolf warned her.
As expected from a woman. She lost all her senses after being brainwashed by love.
What Luca said was the truth. She never intended to ridicule Jake and just brought it up. Even so, it got Eira so worked up that
she drew her pistol.
Either way, as a member who was currently working with them on the same mission, what she did was not right.
Klein also looked at Eira lazily.
Luca turned around to face Eira's pistol. The shiny black muzzle was pointing at her, but she had no intention of dodging it.
Eira was being watched by three pairs of eyes.
Wolf warned her once again, “Aren't you going to put down the pistol? Do you want this mission to fail?"
“Of course not!" Eira felt aggrieved, but she could not do anything to Luca at the moment, so she had to put the pistol away.
Wolf looked at the time and said, “Half an hour to go until the mission officially begins. Put on these earphones. Then, leave in
batches and gather at the designated location."
“I'll leave first." Luca picked up a miniature walkie-talkie, hung it around her ear, and put on a cap.
She did not want to stay here for even a second longer.
Luca left the hotel room first.
“What a poser." Eira scoffed. She noticed that Luca did not pick up a gun in the end and had a plan in mind.
After the mission succeeded, there were plenty of ways to mess with her.
Their boss would only care if the mission was successful or not. He did not care about their safety.
Otherwise, he would not have let Jake and the others be detained by the Russian police.
If Jake and the others did not drink the antidote in a month, they would be done for!
Ten minutes later, Wolf said, “Eira, pretend to be a couple with Klein and leave."
"Let's go." Klein opened the door lazily after looking at Eira, who looked like she was plotting something in her head.
