Chapter 3184 One Of The Main Targets Under Observation
"Thank you so much, Aunt Neile. I'll be in the study for a while. Could you please call me at 11:00 am?" Luca was worried about getting too absorbed in her research and forgetting the time.
They were planning to have tacos for lunch. The preparation required her attention. She needed an extra hour to get everything ready.
"Sure, | got it." Aunt Neile nodded. Then, she heard Luca add, "Oh, by the way, | ordered some groceries online and left the home phone number. Could you please keep an eye on the phone later? They can't deliver to our house, so I'll need you to fetch them."
"No problem, I'll take care of it," replied Aunt Neile as she placed the plates on a tray. Other than a bit of leftovers left on Luke's plate, there was hardly anything left on the other three plates. It was evident that Luca's toasts were delicious and exactly to their liking.
After Luca came upstairs, she passed by Luke's bedroom, which he used as an office. The door was closed. Knowing their conversation required privacy, she did not knock but instead opened the doors to the three kids' rooms.
They were already up and busy getting ready in the bathroom.
Luca gave them instructions, telling them that Luke was busy and to come downstairs after they finished getting ready so as to not disturb his work.
The kids obediently listened to her and told her that they understood.
After that, Luca finally entered the study.
She closed the door behind her, ready to delve into her herbal studies.
On the other hand, after two days of waiting, Abel finally summoned Amur.
He hurried to the headquarters to meet him.
Abel was sitting on the couch, smoking a cigar and toying with a glass. The liquid inside was as red as blood. “Boss,” Amur greeted Abel respectfully.
Abel lazily flicked the ash from his cigar and asked, "Any unusual activities in A City recently?"
“Nothing out of the ordinary," replied Amur. Even though he still took on missions, he was now a permanent staff at the headquarters.
As one of the permanent staff, his task was to monitor any abnormalities in the city where the headquarters was located. Meanwhile, Luke remained one of the main targets under observation at their headquarters. However, Abel never instructed him to observe Luke and others like him directly. It was mainly because of Luca.
Due to her close relationship with Amur, Abel had to be cautious. He never assigned Amur tasks related to Luke, fearing Amur might reveal something to Luca.
Moreover, whenever the headquarters carried out tasks related to Luke, Amur was kept in the dark. This was Abel's directive, and they simply executed it.
“Nothing unusual?" Abel's voice rose slightly, sounding disapproving." Amur, are you holding back, or do you truly not know?”
"If | haven't found anything, Boss. You can just assume I'm in the dark about it,” replied Amur. He had not hidden anything else apart from Luca's matters.
Nevertheless, he might not necessarily know everything about Luca.
On the contrary, those tasked with monitoring Luke and Luca might be more aware of Luca's affairs than he was. "Hmph!" Abel snorted. "I'll give you one more chance to be honest.”
"| have nothing to report," insisted Amur.
Abel suddenly burst into laughter, rising from his seat at the same time and patting Amur's shoulder.
Amur looked at him in surprise.
Abel withdrew his hand and stood by the window. It was a residential building with a narrow and dirty street below. Hardly anyone passed through except for a few bold shortcut-takers.
Such houses were perfect for them to use as bases.
"| was trying to bait you, but | didn't really expect there to be nothing.”
Abel's tone seemed disappointed. "How boring."
Amur remained expressionless. Abel had not summoned him just to pry information out of him. There had to be another reason. Hence, he awaited Abel's instructions for a task.
"Why the silence?" Abel, not hearing Amur's response, turned around to look at him, feeling displeased.
Amur's expression remained unchanged as he replied, "I'll do as the boss says, no questions asked."
Abel let out a disdainful snort, convinced that Amur was deliberately trying to pull a fast one on him.
However, he could not be bothered at the moment. Instead, he said," There's a bit of trouble in X City. | need you to deal with it." "Yes, Boss," replied Amur without asking any questions.
Abel turned to look at Amur. He was lowering his head, looking at the floor, and bowing his head respectfully.
However, Abel knew that deep down, he never truly held that level of respect for him.
“Aren't you curious about the mission?" asked Abel.
"| have no right to choose or refuse missions,” replied Amur. What was the point of asking since he could not choose or refuse?
Whether he asked beforehand and then agreed or simply agreed without asking, the mission still needed to be completed. There was no real distinction.
Abel listened to his words, and a sinister smile curled his lips.
Amur's obedience was just a show for him.
If it were not for Eler, Luca, and Nyla on the Island of Despair, Amur would not be such a compliant subordinate. Abel's eyes darkened at the thought of this.
"There are two failed missions in X City. You need to team up with someone to clean up the mess,” added Abel. Amur was slightly surprised. Team up with someone?Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Was he not supposed to act alone?
What could possibly require two people? If the missions failed, the people who needed to be rid of would have been captured by the enemy or the
cops.
If the people who carried out the missions were any good, the missions would not have gone south and Abel would not require two people to clean up the mess.
Since those people were not skilled, there was no need for two people to handle it.
Abel immediately noticed Amur's confusion and said directly, "The other person doesn haye mach" experiehde sd fey need your help. You don't have to get your hands dirty, but if they also fail, you guys will have to sort it out together." The content is on ! Read the latest chapter there!
Suddenly, Amur recalled what Luca had mentioned to him. Abel had hired many locals in A City to facilitate his operations in this area.
These locals had received some training, but it was far below they standards of trainfg Godthe Island of Despair. hey were more like off-the- books members rather than core members of the organization. The content is on ! Read the latest chapter there!
It seemed that both individuals Abel needed to get rid of were locals, and the person in charge of the mission was also from A City.
Abel stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Initially, this wasn't such a pressing issue. But if thos twoGpoidd td tal the polite Sh)thing that could seriously harm US, we need to be extra cautious. Especially considering the person you're assisting is injured. The content is on ! Read the latest chapter there!
"If the mission fails, nobody will make it out alive, got it?" He knew Amur would definitely be able to handle this. However, he had also mentioned giving Gerald a chance. If Gerald could not handle it on his own, then it would not be his fault.
Abel's eyes darkened. Not everyone got a second chance. Gerald was fortunate that Shanks happened to be around after he was beaten up.
If it were someone else, they would have been left to die in that situation.
