Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3218

Some grudges had to be etched into memory, lest the trivialities of life wear them away.

Marcos knew what Sarah's past life was like. When he saw the worn marks on the documents, his expression darkened.

“I need to ask you a favor,” said Marcos as he turned to look at Luke.

“Go ahead.” Luke nodded, more than willing to help. They both needed each other's help at times, so refusing was not an option.

“I need you to keep these documents safe for me until I return to Russia.” Marcos thought of Ethan, who was staying in the same hotel as him and even brazenly installed surveillance in his suite.

If he took the documents back, they would easily be discovered.

“Sure, no problem. You can trust T Corporation’s security. No one can access the items in my safe," Luke replied.

He had one of the world's most advanced safes, and it was not easy for anyone to unlock it.

“Thank you,” said Marcos, opening the documents slowly.

Luke did not say anything further. He took a sip of his coffee and continued his work.

Marcos carefully read through the documents, taking about half an hour.

His brows were furrowed together. “I'm done.”

“Okay.” Luke nodded without commenting on the matter concerning the Abaza family.

The social structures were different, so he felt it was not his place to judge.

“Mr. Crawford, I’d like to make a deal with you,” said Marcos.

Luke was intrigued. “Let's hear it.”

“The Abaza family…” Marcos paused for a moment, raising the documents in his hand. With a mocking smile on his face, he continued, “Even though we've done many shady things, we're still known in Russia for our strong stance against organized crimes. I want to use their power to help you eliminate the Island of Despair.”

He figured the old master also hated such organizations, so using M Group's power to help eliminate the Island of Despair should not be an issue.

Besides, over the years, he had not just been a puppet. He had been doing some real work too.

“What do you need me to do?” asked Luke. He did need help, but only if it did not violate his principles.

Marcos replied, “When I make a move, I need you to reveal the information here to the public in A City. I've seen how powerful public opinion here can be, but I don't know how to handle it. I need someone familiar with it to help. So, it's less about you helping me and more about the public of A City helping.”

Luke did not expect Marcos' request to be so straightforward.

He agreed, “No problem.”

“Pleasure doing business.” Marcos extended his hand.

Luke nodded and shook his hand, sealing the deal. “Pleasure doing business.”

Marcos believed that with the help of the locals of A City, his plan would succeed.

Luke knew that with the Abaza family's assistance, dealing with the Island of Despair would be much easier.

In the hospital, Pierre underwent his second dry needling treatment.
