Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3261 Their Base Was Burned To The Ground

After Luca finished washing up, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Luke held her in his arms, but he was wide awake.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Ever since he found out that Luca was summoned to the the Island of Despair base today, he was unable to rest easy, worried that something might happen to her.

Fortunately, she was not hurt, and everything seemed normal.

Now that Shanks was frequently conducting research here, Luke knew he would continue to worry if this issue was not resolved,

He realized some things could not be delayed any longer.

In the pitch-black bedroom, his phone suddenly lit up.

Luke released Luca's waist, picked up his phone, and quietly left the room.

After closing the door, he glanced at the message, then stepped onto the balcony and dialed a number.

"Boss, you saw the message?" Gale's voice came through. He was the one who sent the message earlier. Luke's voice was heavy as he directly asked, "Yeah. Are you sure the information is accurate?"

"It's accurate. I hacked into the system and confirmed that one of the names on the visitor list is another fake identity of Abel's," replied Gale.

"Good." Luke's voice was deep, confirming what he suspected. If Abel was among the visitors, the research they were conducting was likely related to Kassy.

It was not just Luca who had been working hard. Luke had been putting in effort too.

His team had been monitoring Abel the entire time.

Since Abel was not an ordinary person, it took a lot of effort and personnel to surround him with operatives playing various roles.

It was just to avoid being discovered.

Abel had gone to the detention center for a visit.

They could not determine who he visited, but to avoid alerting him, they had no choice but to hack the system and retrieve the visitor list.

*Boss, do you think their current actions are aimed at rescuing Kassy?" asked Gale.

"Yes," Luke was almost certain.

Luca mentioned before that Abel harbored deep hatred toward him, not just because he led the operation to destroy the previous Island of Despair but also because he injured Kassy.

That was why he rebuilt the Island of Despair and kidnapped Luca.

*Then, the research they're conducting now is also..." Gale did not finish his sentence, but he had already realized what Abel was up to.

*Luca mentioned that one of the ingredients Abel is after has the ability to regenerate flesh and bones, replied Luke.

*Well..." Gale was not too surprised by the medicinal properties, knowing there were countless herbs with various effects.

"I had Kassy's eyes and legs ruined before. Abel wouldn't want a crippled person, so he must have asked Shanks

to develop a drug to heal her eyes and legs."

Luke was enraged when he found out what Kassy dared to do to his wife and children. Therefore, when he decided to cripple her, he made sure there was no chance of recovery.

He even had her eyes destroyed so that modem transplant surgery would be impossible.

Luke had never been a merciful person.

Kassy's attack on his family sealed her fate.

If Abel wanted to make Kassy recover, conventional medicine could not make that happen.

Perhaps he was relying on Shanks to pull it off.

*Boss, if that's the case, we know what they're trying to do, but we can't launch a full-scale attack on the Island of Despair just yet. What should we do?" asked Gale.

"Aren't they busy conducting research?" Luke's gaze darkened. "Then, we'll make sure they can't do it."

*You mean we should destroy their research materials, like burn all their herbs?" Gale began to understand what Luke meant.

*Exactly, but it needs to be done carefully," replied Luke.

"Boss, isn't it just a matter of setting a fire? What's there to be cautious about? As long as we don't leave any evidence, we're good." Gale was puzzled. He did not see the need for extra caution if they were not leaving any traces.

*They called Luca over today to help with the research, and that's when she found out Shanks had already collected all the herbs. If a mysterious fire suddenly breaks out now, who do you think they'll suspect?" Luke reminded him.

Gale finally caught on. "Oh, right! How could I forget that? We need to handle this carefully. Otherwise, Dr. Craw could get caught up in it."

*Think it through. This needs to be dealt with immediately, emphasized Luke. He did not want Luca to be affected by this.

If the herbs were still around, Luca would keep getting called in to help.

The leader of the Island of Despair was not someone who could be reasoned with. He had not harmed Luca yet, but that did not mean he would not in the future.

*Got it. How about we have one of their own people start the fire? That should work, right?" Gale's tone revealed his excitement.

He loved this kind of thing.

"That'll work." Luke agreed, then hung up the phone.

Protecting Luca was his duty. He would never let Luca get hurt!

After the call ended, Gale quickly got to work.

He discussed it with Rain and decided to have someone impersonate a gatekeeper at the Island of Despair base

in A City.

That way, when the fire broke out, any investigation would point to that person.

True to his word, Gale, disguised as one of the Island of Despair's own, happily went to set the fire.

Rain shook her head helplessly, knowing that while Gale was not keen on doing good deeds but was more than willing to carry out acts of sabotage.

The next morning, Luca received a message from Abel.

She frowned, about to say something when Luke, beside her, spoke up, "Gale burned down your base yesterday."

Luca was surprised. "Huh? That was out of the blue?"

"I'm certain now that Shanks' research is for Kassy," replied Luke.

Luca furrowed her brow the moment Kassy's name was mentioned. She had once pleaded with Luke to spare Kassy's life.

While he did spare her, Kassy was left crippled. Luca did not expect that her plea would lead to so much trouble

now.

She did not need to ask to know what Shanks was researching. It was probably something to heal Kassy's knees and maybe even her eyes.

It sounded far-fetched, but Shanks's abilities should not be underestimated.

Luca rubbed her forehead.

"He must be suspicious of me now."

*Don't worry. Gale took that into account, so he got someone to disguise as a member of the organization to start the fire," Luke reassured her while gently stroking her head. "No one on the Island of Despair is innocent."

"I understand," Luca nodded. She knew that anyone from the Island of Despair who made it out had blood on their hands-including herself.

Hence, Luke was not wrong when he said no one there was innocent.

Luca glanced at the notification again and sighed, "No wonder he told us to head to the hotel. Their base got burned to the ground, and that's the only place left to stay."

Luke chuckled at her remark.

Luca added, "I just hope all those herbs were destroyed. At least everything in A City should be burned up."
