Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3081

In Shanks' words, the only person on the entire Island of Despair with this talent was Luca.

Luca was the most helpful to Shanks.

However, she had more important things to attend to, so she could not stay by Shanks' side to help.

Luca had already recovered and was standing upright. Abel reminded her, "You, stop playing tricks behind my back. This time, you'll help Mr. Shanks find the herbs he needs.

"Also, don't you like being with Luke? I'll make it happen for you. Don't say I'm not doing right by you."

A hint of malice tugged at the corner of his mouth.

He always had a feeling that Luca was slipping out of his control. If this continued, he would not be able to keep her in his control.

He had to do something.

Luca had a bad feeling, but she did not have the courage to ask him what he wanted to do at the moment.

If Abel could not resist throwing another punch at her, she would be the one to suffer. Luke would be distressed if he knew about it.

Now, they both needed to stay calm and collected. They could not let certain things cloud their judgment.

Luca warned herself not to be too curious about Abel's affairs.

Luke's men would know what he wanted to do.

Luca nodded and replied, "Yes, I'll find a way to get those herbs."

"Go on, then. Be a good little canary. But remember, while you're trapped in Luke's cage, don't forget where your real cage is." Abel looked at Luca with disgust.

If it were not for the inappropriate occasion today, he would surely have punched her again without hesitation.

After receiving his permission to leave, Luca turned around and left.

She held her head high as though nothing had happened just now.

Abel watched her leave from behind and snorted coldly. "I held back a little."

"Not everyone can withstand your strength." Shanks narrowed his eyes. He was not a smoker, and the air in this place felt particularly stagnant to him.

He wanted to go out and talk to those medicine farmers and merchants. He wanted to understand their secret stashes.

"Why are you protecting Ivana like this?" asked Abel. It was a question he had wanted to ask earlier.

After all, he did not want Luca to know that Shanks could potentially be her support.

Shanks shot him a cold glance and asked, "Am I?"

"Don't deny it. I've been watching. You're always speaking up for that woman. What's going on? Have you taken a liking to her? If you really have, I can help you out,” asked Abel.

Abel's idea of helping was to send Luca to his room.

Shanks understood his implication, glanced at him coldly, and replied, "I'm not interested in her. If it weren't because she understands medicine, I wouldn't even spare her a glance."

Abel immediately nodded. "Alright, you're cruel, but you're still different with her. But she's just a woman. You don't need to be so concerned.

"Rest assured, once these matters are settled, I'll find you all sorts of beautiful women. I'll help you get whoever you like. How about that?"

"Not interested," replied Shanks. He immediately walked out.

Abel wiped the smile off his face. His friendliness toward Shanks was solely because it benefited him and brought profits for the Island of Despair.

Nothing more...
