Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 677

Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean was the Island of Despair.

One could not find the island on any map. Its existence was like a phantom on the gray-blue ocean surface. Constantly shrouded in fog, it was isolated from the rest of the world.

Sharp and jagged reefs like devils' teeth surrounded the island, threatening to rip apart anyone who went near.

The first rays of the rising sun appeared on the horizon.

A tall and well-built man leaned on a reef. His handsome face was like sculpted marble, and his profound eyes were like polished agate.

He pressed his lips tightly as he gazed at the endless ocean and a hidden bay in front of him.

At the edge of the bay was a large steel cage.

Locked in the cage were a thin man and woman, as well as a drugged lion.

The people were fighting bare-handed with the lion.

How could two weak and starved people be a match for the berserk lion?

The two people attacked the lion together, but they were also badly injured.

Very soon, their battered bodies were ripped into pieces and became the lion's meal…

Such scenes were not uncommon on the island, but Luke clenched his fists tightly to suppress the urge of destroying everything!

No one knew that the isolated island was a secret base for the League of Shadows, an elite assassin organization.

Every year, the organization would gather people with extraordinary abilities using various underhanded methods, drug them, and transport them to the island to undergo assassination training.

Human lives were as worthless as insects on the island. Even animals were treated better.

The only way to survive was to be stronger than anyone else.

Escape was out of the question. The island was heavily guarded by mercenaries and various high-tech traps. Even a fly could not escape.

The consequences of being caught were extreme.

Luke had known the existence of such terrifying assassin organizations. However, he could not help but throw up when he saw Robert flay a deserter alive.

Kassy had hypnotized him and erased his past memories, but Robert did not fully trust him. That was why Luke was sent to the island.

In other words, he was imprisoned there with the other assassins to undergo the same training.

The people on the island were wary of Luke because Kassy was there too, and also because Robert favored his incredibly intelligent mind. That was why Luke managed to survive in that hellish place.

However, when Robert and Kassy were not around, those people bullied and tormented Luke. Even though Luke had a black belt in karate, he was considered a weakling to those depraved killers, and he would be beaten to a pulp every time.

In the most serious case, he suffered from gastric perforation and vomited blood for an entire month.

No one tended to him.

When Robert found out about it, he said nonchalantly, "Suck it up and live, or give up and die."

Fortunately, Luke had studied herbology on his own in college. He managed to keep himself alive by foraging for medicinal herbs on the island.
