Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2772

After leaving the hotel with Kastov for such a long time, Ethan could have easily tampered with anything in their absence.

Marcos nodded and said, "Thanks."

Then, he closed the door and returned to his suite.

Kastov followed suit, not bothering to check his own room since Ethan's attention was solely on Marcos and not him, the bodyguard.

He was not going to waste any time or equipment.

Kastov opened his encrypted luggage and took his laptop out, placing it on the hotel table.

He turned on the laptop and continued reviewing the intelligence he had collected for the day.

All of them were about the Island of Despair…

The intelligence was sent to him from his informants around the world.

Some days, he received only a few reports, but on other days, he received several.

Today was one of those days when he had collected a lot of information.

However, more information did not mean it was better. The information he received was repetitive most of the time.

Kastov lit a cigarette and started filtering out the duplicates, collecting only the useful intelligence.

After filtering, he was left with only two pieces of useful intelligence…

“it’s better than nothing," Kastov murmured as he snuffed out his cigarette and documented the intelligence.

Although these reports were insignificant and useless to most people, Kastov had a better understanding of the Island of Despair than others. He relied on these fragmented pieces of intelligence, screening, integrating, and inferring to make sense of it all.

While the information might seem trivial to others, to those who harbored deep hatred toward the Island of Despair like Kastov and Luke, this information held extraordinary significance.

…

On the other hand…

Luke and Luca returned to the villa together. Luke entered the bedroom opposite and glanced at the computer that was still running.

The computer had been running for the entire afternoon and evening. It filtered out several people based on the images. All of them had ethnic features. However, according to the information collected by the computer, they had nothing to do with the Island of Despair.

Luke did not give up and let the computer continue its search.

Then, he opened his email on another computer and looked at the message sent by Kastov.

He could not help but feel impressed as he looked at it. The man Marcos had brought in was perhaps the person who knew the Island of Despair the most, aside from the members of the organization itself.

Luke did not have as much information as Kastov did.

Even though Luke could not find more information about the Island of Despair, this piece of information was very helpful to him!

Luke’s phone, which had been placed on the side, suddenly rang.

Luke picked it up. It was a call from Percy. He answered the call.

“What do they want?” asked Luke.

"They’re asking for a 30 million ransom, but their conditions are strange. They specifically ask for ten million in cash and the other 20 million to be transferred to a Swiss bank account." Percy's voice was hoarse. It was as though his throat had been scorched by liquor.

"How much time do they give you?" asked Luke.

There was no way he would let Percy hand over the ransom.

The reason why he had not spoken up earlier was that he wanted Pierre to suffer more. After all, that bastard had done so many wrongful things. He needed to be taught a lesson.

The Mallory family members were reluctant to urge him to make a fresh start. Therefore, he should just let those from the Island of Despair torture Pierre well and make him atone for his past mistakes!
