Marcos picked up the folder. His hand trembled slightly as he opened it.
After being separated from his mother for so many years, he had always assumed that she had passed away. The document in this folder was his last hope.
Marcos took the documents out and quickly scanned through them.
Kastov looked at Luke and asked, "Can our conversation be overheard?"
There was a reason why he asked that. What he was about to say could not be heard by anyone else.
Especially the woman who just went upstairs.
"No one’s listening to us," replied Luke confidently. Since Luca had chosen to go upstairs, it was an action that clarified she had no intention of eavesdropping. He was not worried about it.
Kastov nodded, "The woman who just left is one of the members of Island of Despair."
Luke raised an eyebrow.
Kastov sounded so confident when he said that. There was not a trace of confusion in his voice. He sounded so sure that Luca was from the Island of Despair.
“Why are you so sure about that?” Luke was curious. In the past, when he was still in the dark of Luca’s true identity, he tried various methods to see if she had any features or characteristics to show that she was from the Island of Despair.
Even after having intimate contact with her, he had not found any features to show that she was from the Island of Despair.
Luke looked at Kastov, wondering how he could be so sure about that.
Kastov took a sip of red wine. He felt satisfied when the rich aroma of the liquor surged through his taste buds.
He believed that Luke would have spared no effort to obtain information about the Island of Despair.
"Before leaving the Island of Despair for the first time, the people there would take a type of poison that had no antidote. What they did instead was drink a temporary antidote to suppress the toxicity every month. This antidote not only relieves the toxicity of the poison and prevents any flare-ups, but it is also beneficial to the body. For example, speeding up the healing process and reducing pain perception. Those who take this antidote for a long period of time would emit a faint and mysterious fragrance, like a natural body scent. The scent will always be there as long as one continuously takes the antidote. No one would notice it. They’ll only think the smell is the person’s natural body scent. When I stood close to the woman just now, I caught a whiff of that fragrance,” explained Kastov.
Marcos had brought him to meet Luke because he knew more about the Island of Despair than the others.
He had almost become a member of the Island of Despair himself.
He was lucky enough to escape. However, his brother was not as fortunate. He was forced to become a member of the Island of Despair.
After his brother was taken away, Kastov constantly thought of rescuing him.
However, so far, his attempts have all been futile.
Nonetheless, he gained a little more knowledge about the Island of Despair every time he failed.
"They drugged people to manipulate them. That way, no one would dare to betray the Island of Despair." commented Marcos. Even though Marcos was looking at the documents, he was also listening to Kastov.
Luke nodded and recalled one of the members of the Island of Despair who was controlled by Ray.
That person eventually could not bear the pain brought by Luca's hand, only then did he reveal what he knew.
Kastov mentioned such a feature…
Moreover, Luca had been by his side for so long. Luke had never paid attention to the faint fragrance on her body until he realized it had such a great significance.
Luke had developed a slightly higher level of trust toward Kastov.
Normally, he would not trust someone so easily, but Kastov came here with Marcos.
Plus, what he said was indeed related to Luca. That was why he chose to believe him.
Marcos quickly browsed through the information, "Mr. Crawford, I may need your help for the next few days."
