The brother and sister were emotionally connected. Ray knew what was on Vivian''s mind. A gust of
cold wind blew past them after they sent off Luke. Vivian had not put on any coats or hats. Her hair was
messy now.
Ray took his coat off and draped it over her shoulders.
"Stop overthinking. I decided to take over the family matters. This is what a man should do. And all you
have to do is live your life," said Ray. The brother and sister were supposed to carry the responsibilities
of their family on their shoulders.
However, Vivian was not the kind of person who could take a firm stance with others. She would get
bullied if she were to take over their family matters.
Hence, Ray started to take charge of various kinds of matters from the elders of the family after he
graduated.
It felt warm to have the coat on, and Vivian smiled. It seemed like she had gotten over the heartbreak
of leaving Gordan.
Although she still missed him, she was doing much better now.
“Let''s go into the house. It''s cold out here." Vivian knew Ray was not a sentimental person, but he
comforted her again and again. He wanted to lighten the burden in her heart.
"Sure." Ray nodded. The brother and sister turned around and returned to the house.
In the hotel suite.
Luca looked at the full bodysuit in her luggage, then she nced at the floor n on theptop.
When she came to Russia, she had brought a full bodysuit along with her after remembering that this
was where the main stronghold of the Ind of Despair was. Hence, she might be assigned a mission.
Wearing other clothes would get in her way and cause inconveniences.
She came fully prepared, but she did not expect that she would really need the bodysuit...
Luca nced at the time. Although she would only start at around one a.m., she was not the only one
on this mission. She would have to discuss with the others how they were going to carry out the
operation.
Luca picked up the clothes and changed into them. Then, she put on a thick, warm-down jacket to keep
herself warm. When she was about to leave, Luke pushed the door and walked in. He hade back
from Ray''s ce.
“Mr. Crawford, you''re back." Luca did not expect Luke to return this early. After all, Ray had caught
someone from the Ind of Despair after he broke into the house. She thought Luke must have
headed to Ray''s ce because of this matter.

After all, Ray had a strong influence in Russia. She believed that he had already figured out the
identities of the four people who were caught and detained in the police station.
Although Ray was unable to know everything about them, he had the solution with him now. He should
have known that those people were from the Ind of Despair.
"Are you going out?" Luke asked when he saw that Luca was all dressed up. Her mission was
supposed to take ce around one a.m., right? There were a few more hours left. She was going out
that early?
"Yes. A friend in Russia knows that I''m here, so she said she''d like to meet me," Luca lied to him.
Luke did not expose her lies and said, "Do you need the hotel car to send you there?"
Luca shook her head. It would only make things difficult if she asked the hotel''s driver to send her. She
said, "There''s a subway station near the hotel. I''ll just take the subway. The subway in Russia is quite
convenient."
"Alright." Luke did not insist, and he walked into his room.
Luca let out a sigh of relief when Luke did not continue to question her. She carried her bag and left the
suite.
Luke''s door was left unlocked. He could hear the sound of Luca leaving the suite. He informed Gale to
follow behind Luca immediately.
Ray told him to leave everything to Hansen and Hansen would handle everything well.
However, Luke would go the extra mile when it was about Luca''s matters. Even though someone else
would get it done, he was still worried.
After a while, Hansen shared Luca''s location with Luke.
Luca headed to the subway station after she left the hotel. She found herself a ce to stand and wait
after she got into the subway.
Luke was keeping a close watch on Luca''s whereabouts.
Luke opened the map of Russia on his phone. He could see Luca getting closer to the police station
ording to the location.
Luke thought that she should not be acting alone this time. She must be meeting those who would be
carrying out the mission with her.
After Luca reached the subway station near the police station, she left the subway and headed to an
inn. She told the receptionist the number of the room, and the receptionist threw the room card at her
while muttering, "What the hell are you guys doing? Why are there so many people staying in one
room?" Luca did not answer her. She took the room card and headed to the elevator. She swiped the
card, and the elevator moved upstairs.
Luca arrived at the room and swiped the card to enter. Before she could see the people in the room,
one of them came throwing a punch at her.
Luca was swift in response. She stopped the person from punching her with her elbows. She was able
to get a nce at the person who attacked her. She realized it was the woman who led her the way
when she was in the beauty salon.
The woman looked at her resentfully and scolded, "You b*tch! Go to hell!" Luca refused to let her get
away with it. The woman attacked her with another hand. Luca lifted her leg and kicked her. “Are you
nuts?!"
The kick sent the woman flying, and she fell to the floor. She lifted her head. The fury in her eyes was
so overwhelming that it almost took over her.
"Jake wouldn''t have gotten arrested if you hadn''t betrayed the organization! I''m going to kill you!" The
woman would rather risk death just to tear the woman in front of her into pieces.
Abel had already informed everyone in the organization that Luca had betrayed the organization.
Everyone knew that the reason the mission failed this time was because of Luca''s betrayal.
The organization did not n to rescue those who were caught. They were only asked to gather here
to retrieve the weapons in the evidence room at the police station.
The four of them who were arrested were bound to be abandoned by the organization.
Hence, the woman got very emotional. She was dying to kill Luca, who was in front of her.
Luca frowned. She had no idea who Jake was.
However, she reckoned that he was among those four people.
Luca shot the woman a cold nce and denied it. "I don''t know what you''re talking about."
"You''re still denying it? Boss already told us that it''s your fault!" The woman rose to her feet, thinking of
charging at Luca. She had gone through the training too, but she did not expect Luca to be quick on the
uptake. She got careless, and that was why she was defeated.
The man who stood beside her stopped her. As an onlooker, he realized that Luca''s ability and skills
were better than the woman''s. The woman could never win against Luca even if she charged over one
more time. He said, "Enough. Boss didn''t ask her toe here to fight with you."
"Then how about Jake?!" The woman looked at the man who stopped her with her bloodshot eyes.
"The mission failed. Jake has no choice but to consider himself unlucky. We''re only going to do
whatever the organization wants us to do!" the man reminded the woman with a stern expression on
his face.
This was all Abel''s arrangement, and she was not allowed to do anything crazy.
"The organization isn''t even thinking of saving Jake!" The woman said, "You''re Jake''s brother. How can
you let this pass so easily?"
The man furrowed his brows. Jake and the others were carrying weapons with them. They could have
chosen to retreat safely when they realized that more than ten people were protecting Luke.
Even so, Jake and the others had weapons in their hands, while Luke and his men did not. They got
careless. That was why they were caught by the police. There were witnesses and evidence at the
scene. Not even thewyers could bail them out now.
