What he wanted to see most was Luke being pushed into the abyss by the woman he loved most.
Luca was angry, and her current mood was complicated. She wanted to put a knife to Abel's neck but did not even know where he was at the moment...
"Are you done?" She took a deep breath. She wanted to escape from it all.
"No." Abel chuckled and continued talking, "Since you've completed the task I assigned you, I should give you an appropriate reward, right?"
Luca wanted to turn him down because she knew that his so-called reward was of ill will.
Abel said, "You haven't found what drug is in your wound, right? I'll tell you.β
"No need." Luca hung up the phone, not believing a word of what he said.
Past experience told her that Abel's rewards and good deeds were all lies.
If she believed him, it was most likely that her wound would worsen and she would not be cured.
Abel pursed his lips when he heard the busy tone on the other end of the phone. He browsed through the photos Luca sent and sent the folder to an email address.
He picked up his phone and made a call. "I got you the document you wanted. You know my account number. Hurry up and make the transfer."
"Since when have I ever delayed my payments to you? Don't worry, I'll transfer the money to you immediately." A man's voice came from the other end of the phone. After he finished speaking, he hung up.
Abel snorted coldly, lit a cigar, and sat on the sofa to smoke it.
Hera Sanchez came over and leaned on him. "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so angry?"
"I'm pissed off by a pair of fake lovers." Abel took a big inhale of his cigar. He would think of Kassy's tragic death every time he felt Luca's love for Luke.
If he had been on the island at that time, Kassy would not have ended up as such. He might have given up on his old life for her and they would be living a happy life together now.
However, he and Kassy were separated by death. He felt like duckweed. No matter how many women he was with, he did not feel at home.
"Who dares to piss you off? If I were you, I'd get someone to shoot anyone who dares to provoke me," Hera whispered in his ear.
Although she had not figured out Abel's identity over the years, she knew that there was more to him than met the eye.
He was someone of high status, but he was not on the path of light. He was the kind of person with blood on his hands.
Therefore, she had never thought of leaving him even though he did not acknowledge her as his partner. She knew that Abel might be useful in the future.
"Shoot them?" Abel took a puff, blew circles, and smiled coldly. "That's not a good idea. Taking them out like that will make their lives too easy. What I want is to watch them suffer endlessly. I want them to go through forced separation, and only then will I grant them death."
Hera shuddered as she listened to his emotionless words.
βHe doesn't just want to kill them but he wants to torture them... Isn't this the kind of pervert who kills people and whips their corpses?'
He did not seem like someone who delayed things, though. She knew that he hated the couple that he mentioned with everything that he had.
"What? Are you scared?" Hera was snuggling against his chest, so he could feel her shaking just now.
Hera sneered and replied, "Yeah, you scare me. However, as I'm thinking about what you just said, it's indeed the best way to torture someone. Since you hate them so much, it should be fun." owns all content.
"It's okay." Abel put his arms around her. Most of the time, he would think about directly taking Luke down.
Every time the thought came to him, he immediately remembered how Kassy was tortured to death.
It was an easy way out for Luke if he just took his life like that.
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone made a sound, indicating that he had a sum of money transferred to his account.
Abel pushed Hera away, picked up the phone, looked at the number, and squinted slightly.
The other party was trustworthy. The amount was exactly what they agreed on.
Hera glanced at the screen of his phone and saw the numbers on it. She could not help but say with envy, "That's a lot of money. Did you just close a huge deal?β
"Somewhat." Abel smiled. He had not done much. Someone sent the files to him and he sent the files to someone else. Then, the money arrived.
The person who wanted to buy T Corporation's bidding document had the intention of submitting it earlier than T Corporation.
He could earn money and hit Luke hard. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Abel was in a great mood when he thought of that.
"It's amazing. Can you teach me how to make money?" Hera revealed the envy in her eyes. She spent a lot of money on cosmetics, nutritional supplements, and entertainment. She did not have enough money to spend.
If Abel was willing to teach her how to make more money, she would not have to hold back from spending anymore.
"Teach you how to make money? What do you think I do for work?" Abel smiled, put his phone aside, and put his arms around her again.
"I don't know, but I can do anything. We've known each other for so many years. I doubt that you'll deceive me." Hera smiled with sincere eyes. All she wanted was for him to help her make more money.
Sometimes, it was easier to rely on a man.
However, not every man was generous. Many were stingy, so it was better to make money by herself!
"My business is not something you can be involved in." Abel shook his head. Even after maintaining a relationship with her for so many years, he still did not trust her.
A woman like Hera would easily betray someone for money. He did not want her involved even with the pharmaceutical company.
Moreover, the pharmaceutical company paid out monthly wages on the surface, but she was not interested in that. She did not have the capability to be involved with what he did behind the scenes.
Hera pouted and said, "Of course, you're gonna say that. But you just made a boatload of money. How will you know if you don't even let me try?"
"How much do you want?" Abel asked. After all, she just wanted money.
Abel was not stingy with her. If all was well, he would give her a sum of money from time to time.
However, the two did not have a long-term relationship. He would only reach out to her if he was over in A City and needed her for something. Even if he was generous, it could not satisfy Hera's thirst for money.
"Oh, it's up to you. I'm not with you for money," Hera said shyly. Although she was unable to work with him, getting some money would significantly improve her current situation.
Abel picked up the phone and sent her some money.
"Is this enough for you?"
Hera looked at the transferred amount as her eyes glowed. She quickly nodded. "It's enough. You're so generous!"
"I've always been this way with you." Abel snuffed out the cigar. He kept Hera around for so long because her lips resembled Kassy's.
Her beautiful face with lips as alluring as Kassy's was why he came back to her.
"Are you happy?" Abel asked.
"I've always been happy, especially when I'm with you." Hera smiled, snuggled into his arms, and accepted the money.
