"Let's go." Jacob had no intention to go inside the house to look for anyone. Stan had previously sworn that Luke had not left the main house, and all of Luke's actions were under Stan's surveillance. This should not have gone wrong.
When they entered, they had to climb over the wall because Stan had said he could not give them the keys. There was a risk that they would be discovered, which would lead him to be exposed as well.
However, they could just go through the door when they were leaving.
They headed toward the door.
Suddenly, Harold stopped. "Jacob, is that door open?"
Jacob frowned and turned to look at it. Sure enough, the door was open. "Could it be Stan?"
"We didn't see anyone just now. Why is there someone at the door now? Something doesn't feel right," Harold said uneasily. As soon as he finished his sentence, a few men rushed in.
"Oh damn. It's an ambush!" Jacob realized something was wrong too.
However, it was too late. There was no way they could escape.
"What do we do?" Harold panicked. There were four men in total on the other side.
"Don't be afraid. Remember who we are. These people are weaklings. Knock them down and we can get out," said Jacob as he took on an attacking stance.
Still, before they could prepare themselves, those men had already charged toward them. They knocked the two men down in a few moves.
Jacob groaned in pain on the ground. Even though he had only recently joined the Island of Despair and worked for Abel, he had received professional training. He should not have been easily defeated like this.
However, actions spoke louder than words. The two were indeed knocked down by these people.
"Who… are you?!" Harold groaned in pain and then asked immediately.
Gale looked at the two men and asked disdainfully, "Just the two of you?"
Harold groaned again. "Do you know who I am? How dare you do this to me?"
"Who are you? Tell me," Gale deliberately asked.
"We're..."
"Shut up!" Jacob endured the pain and landed a swift slap right on Harold's head with a loud smack.
"Hmm? You won't talk? Then you can tell the police later," said Gale. Then, Luke's instructions crossed his mind as he added, "You two, search these two thieves' bodies. See if they stole anything valuable."
"Yes, sir." The two men searched them and reported, "Boss, we didn't find anything."
"They triggered the alarm as soon as they came in. I've never seen such stupid thieves." After that, Gale lifted his foot and stomped on Jacob's hand.
Jacob cried out in pain.
Gale chuckled. "You'll have to explain properly when the police arrive later."
Jacob glared at Gale angrily. "I won't let you off."
"Well, we'll see when you get out." Gale squatted down, closing the gap between them. "According to him, you guys have a boss, right?"
Jacob remained silent
"It's okay if you don't speak now. When you get to the police station and you still refuse to talk, the police will only give you some minor trouble. That's what you must be thinking, right?
"Breaking and entering without stealing anything… Even if you're sentenced, it won't be for long, right? You're probably thinking that once you're out, you can still enjoy the good life with your boss, aren't you?" Gale smirked.
Jacob remained silent.
Gale shook his head. "How can there be such naive people like you? Do you think you'll be fine just by keeping quiet? If you don't speak, your boss might worry that you'll spill the beans. Do you think there's a chance you'll come out of this alive?"
Jacob was led astray by Gale's words. At this moment, he realized that he might actually be abandoned for failing the mission.
At the same time, he had learned a lot about Abel recently. Perhaps, he might even be assassinated...
Jacob could not help but shiver at the thought of this.
