Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2961

The man hit by the cigar could not help but shiver.

The cigar did not hurt when it hit him, but it was the grim expression on Abel’s face that made him question life.

All he did was make a suggestion. He did not expect Abel to have such a big reaction.

He picked up the cigar, wiped it clean, and wanted to hand it back to Abel. However, he was afraid of getting beaten, so he hesitated. He stammered as he explained, "Boss, it’s just Percy Mallory. We're not even afraid of Luke Crawford, so why would we be afraid of a guy like him?"

Abel narrowed his eyes.If it were the old Island of Despair with decades of history, they certainly would not have been afraid of the Crawford and Mallory families.

Even if the two families joined forces, they still would not be a match for the Island of Despair.

The reason the Island of Despair had been wiped out by Luke and Percy was that they had teamed up with the Russian government and launched a devastating surprise attack.

If they had received advanced intelligence, they would not have suffered such a disastrous defeat.

"My focus now is on making money, not having a face-to-face showdown with Luke and Percy. Can't you understand?!" Abel looked at the person in front of him who did not appear to be afraid of trouble. How he wished he could drag him out to feed the wolves.

These people on the Island of Despair were too arrogant and often spoke without thinking.

Abel had always remembered his grudge. To get rid of Luke Crawford, he needed more money.

If Luke was an easy target, why would he need so much money?

Abel had been lurking in the shadows while keeping a low profile, simply aiming for more money. However, recently, his business had been hit by a series of problems. This had left him feeling increasingly agitated.

Relying on the tasks given to the Island of Despair members and the funds from the sale of those medicines through the pharmaceutical company was still not enough.

Running an organization required a significant amount of money. To get rid of Luke, he needed to make Island of Despair even bigger, which required more money.

Abel could not afford slow growth. Everytime he thought of Kassy, he was itching to get at Luke.

Therefore, after these few years of lying low, he felt like he had waited long enough. His patience was wearing thin, especially since the previous attempts to have Luca go after Luke had not had much impact.

That was why he was so eager to get more money and expand the Island of Despair. He wanted to be in a better position to take on Luke and seek revenge for Kassy.

The man he was staring at shivered again. He placed the cigar on the table, not daring to say anything more.

He did not understand why what was so scary about Luke Crawford.

He was just doing business for a few measly bucks and had hired some bodyguards for protection.

Those bodyguards could not possibly be better than them, could they?

Absolutely not! They were trained professionals of the Island of Despair. How could those bodyguards be better than them?

Taking on Luke Crawford was a piece of cake? Was it that hard?

Even though the man thought this, he dared not to say such things as he was afraid that he might get a few punches from Abel.

After all, Abel could be the boss of Island of Despair not only because of his wealth but also because he had formidable fists. Those who had received professional training like them could not beat him.

Amur kept his eyes lowered and remained silent. He had just completed a mission and had come to this meeting point to report it, not expecting Abel to be here.

If he had known Abel was here, he might have considered delaying things by a day or two before coming over to report it.
