Luke glanced out the window and said in a confident tone, "It's here."

Jason was about to pull over to the side of the road when he heard Luke say, "Go a little farther."

"Yes." Jason followed his instructions and drove past two villas before he stopped the car.

Luke sat in the car and had no intentions of getting out. He directed the men who were already lurking in the area.

He was feeling extra confident since Percy had lent him his men as well.

Jason sat in the driver's seat without moving, silently waiting for the next command.

Once everything was planned out, Luke opened the car door.

When Jason saw that he was about to get out of the car, he quickly asked, "Boss, do you want me to follow you?"

"Wait here," Luke instructed him with a blank expression. He got out of the car, walked to Pierre's villa, and glanced at the surveillance camera at the door.

He did not bother to sneak around because he was not afraid that the people inside would find out that he was here and run away.

The area around the villa had already been surrounded by his men.

He got someone to use a machine to double-check. There were only three people in the villa. One was Luca while the other two were her kidnappers.

Luke motioned to his subordinate, and in an instant, the subordinate took out a small bomb from his backpack and fixed it on the doorknob.

The door of the villa was made of extremely hard metal material. It would be troublesome to break in using manpower. Luke did not get out of the car earlier as he was waiting for his subordinates to get this bomb that was just powerful enough that it could blast the door.

Eric, who was in the villa, was about to go into the room with some chicken soup to feed Luca. After all, her cheeks were swollen and she could not eat anything else.

Suddenly, he heard Derek exclaiming, "Sh*t!"

He looked back at his companion and asked, "What's wrong?" "There's someone at the door, and they're... planting a bomb!" Derek had accidentally glanced at the surveillance camera and when he saw that someone was at the door, he became vigilant.

Eric no longer had the headspace to feed Luca. He rushed to the front of the surveillance camera and watched as the person at the door planted a bomb on the door handle. He shouted, “Damn it, they found us! They're planning to blast the door open. Hurry up, let's go!"

"Come on, bring that woman," Derek said.

Eric glanced at the sight of Luke, who was within the surveillance camera's range. He said, "Let's not bring this woman. It's more important that we escape. If we take this woman, we won't be able to escape."

"If we don't bring her, we won't be able to escape. I don't believe that Luke will dare do anything to us if we have this woman in our hands." Derek did not have the time to think about it. Even though no suspicious activity was detected from the other surveillance cameras, years of experience told him that the villa must already be surrounded by Luke's men.

Their only hope to get out clean was to bring along the woman in the room.

Derek burst into the room and grabbed Luca.

He grabbed her hair so hard that she was forced to stand up. She stumbled a bit. If he was not holding onto her hair, she might have fallen.

Derek looked at her messy appearance and said to Eric, who was freaking out by the door. "The key! Unlock the iron balls by her feet. Otherwise, it'll be difficult for us to escape."

Eric did not want to hold Luca hostage but he went with Derek's commands seeing how serious he seemed. He found the key on the messy table.

He held the key, crouched down, and unlocked the iron balls that were chained to Luca's feet.

Just as he unchained her, they heard an explosion from outside. They did not need to look to know that the door had been blasted open.

Eric stood up and told his accomplice, "Be careful. Her shackles are off now."

"Enough with the nonsense. I don't believe that we can't escape with this woman in our hands," Derek said grimly. It was not the first time they had been found.

Previously when they were caught, they always managed to escape. Even if they did not get the ransom, they could get away and end up safe.

He thought that this time with Luca was no exception.

Eric took a deep breath, picked up the knife on the table, and put it on Luca's neck.

Luca lowered her eyes, glanced at the sharp blade, and followed behind Derek, who was rushing.

Her hands were still tied. There was a knife on her neck and another pressed against her stomach. Her feet were free, so she had a chance to make a run for it.

Luca fought back the pain and was pushed to the door by Derek. She saw Luke quickly walking in with someone.

At that moment, she almost cried.

Unexpectedly, he was here to rescue her.

Luca had thought about a lot in the past two days. She hoped that the person who would rescue her was Luke but it was just a thought.

She was just a subordinate to him. Although she proved to be valuable to the company, she was still just a subordinate.

She was not Bianca. Even if Luke received a threat as such, she thought that he would not come to save her. 'How could he give up the project for me?'

Therefore, she longed for it in her heart but reality told her that it was very likely that someone from the Island of Despair would rescue her in the end.

However, she did not expect that her dreams would become a reality!

Luca looked at Luke who came over. She wanted to shake her head but she did not dare to move because the knife was held against her neck. Text content © .

Luke's heart nearly stopped beating when he looked at Luca who was being threatened with two knives.

If she took a step forward, one of the knives would cut her throat.

Luca looked terrible. Her swollen face, blood-stained forehead, and bare feet made it clear that she had suffered terrible abuse.

Derek looked at the people who rushed in and knew that there would be more people waiting for them outside. He shook the sharp knife in his hand and put it on Luca's neck again. "Get out of the way."

"Let her go," Luke said coldly, negotiating with the person on the opposite side.

"Let her go? Do you think we're fools?" Derek did not buy it. "We were hired by someone. Since we won't be getting the money anyway, this woman will be fine if you let us go. But if you don't, don't blame us for being rude."

"You kidnapped one of my people and you think you can get away with it?" Luke gave Luca a look. Since she was Bianca, she would have understood his wink.

Luca got the message and knew that she needed to calm down. She could not burden Luke.

However, she was so tired...

Luca tried her best to open her eyes. She had lost too much blood, and her injuries included the one on her forehead and her swollen cheeks. She was forced to move forward by the man behind her. She was very tired.

However, she knew that she could not collapse at that moment.

Luca blinked, indicating that she got his signal.

A few policemen rushed in through the door, and all of them were holding firearms and weapons. They raised their weapons and aimed them at the two kidnappers.

Derek started raging when he saw that the police had their guns pointed at them.
