After Lonnie left, Luke''s expression remained unchanged.


    He was not afraid of Old Master Bourne''s so-called revenge.


    He was not an idol who made a living with his youthfulness, so his partner would have little impact on


    thepany.


    Besides, investors were not his fans. His investors valued the capability of thepany''s leader.


    As long as he did not copse and T Corporation was still growing, he was not afraid of how other


    people might look at him.


    Moreover, so what if everyone thought he had a mistress?


    It did not matter as long as he knew that Luca was not a mistress.


    In the business industry of A City, businessmen like Percy and Jim, who were loyal to their partners,


    were rare.


    It would be weirder for Luke not to have a mistress.


    Instead, people would think that it was normal for him to have a mistress.


    After a while, thendline on his desk rang again.


    Luke pressed the speakerphone with his right hand and said, "Yes?"


    “Boss, Mr. Mallory is here," said Jason. The front desk did not stop Percy as they knew that he was


    friends with Luke.


    Plus, both of theirpanies were working together, so Percy was able to go up right away.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Let him in," said Luke.


    "Yes." Jason hung up, and before he could speak, Percy, who heard his conversation with Luke, said,


    "I''ll go in myself."


    "Mr. Mallory, would you like something to drink?" Jason stood up and asked.


    "No, you can carry on with your work," said Percy. He was not here to chat with Luke but to get money.


    Once he got the money, he would leave right away.


    The Mallory family was waiting for him to deal with the Pierre situation, so he could not dy for even a


    moment. Besides, he had to stay beside the phone at all times, just in case the Ind of Despair


    called.


    Jason sat back down.


    Percy opened the door to Luke''s office and closed it behind him. "I''m here."


    Luke nodded and entered a pin code. Then, he heard the sound of a lock opening, and soon after, a


    safe popped open.


    He took out a case that contained two million dors in cash.


    Luke handed it to Percy and pointed at the currency-counting machine the finance department had sent


    early that morning. "You count."


    "No need, I trust you," said Percy as he took the case. He then took out his phone and transferred two


    million to him.


    Immediately, Luke received a notification from his ount.


    "One more thing," said Luke.


    Percy then looked at him.


    "Gordan called just now, and he said that he found out where Pierre is being held. He''s asking what he


    should do next. Do you want to save him by paying the ransom or do you want Gordan to help?" said


    Luke as he dialed Gordan''s number.


    Percy frowned. Gordan called just now?


    The timing was unfortunate.


    Gordan did not forget Luke''s orders when he answered the phone. "Brother Luke, has Mr. Mallory


    decided on what to do?"


    Luke put the phone in front of Percy without saying a word.


    "This is Percy," said Percy calmly.


    Gordan was not surprised as he said, "Oh, it''s you. Mr. Mallory, I''ve found out where your brother is


    being held. What are you going to do? I already have people watching them."


    "Are you sure it''s him?" Percy confirmed with him as there had been no news from Gordan before this.


    He suddenly found his location, so Percy was worried that it could be wrong.


    It was Pierre''s life on the line.


    He wanted to save Pierre, and he was not afraid of losing 30 million. It was his dignity that he was


    afraid of losing.


    The highly respectable Mallory family got manipted by a terrorist organization. If word got out, they


    would be seen as a joke!


    If people knew about it, they would take advantage of Percy and bully him!


    Percy was weighing his options.


    "I''m certain. I''ve actually discovered this ce a few days ago, but they didn''t show Pierre, so I had to


    use a device to monitor the people walking around inside. After finding out that there was someone in a


    room who was barely moving, I tried to get some surveince. I was afraid of giving you the wrong


    information, so I''ve been looking for surveince the entire time. As you know, not many households


    have surveince in this area, so it took me a whole day to find one clip of Pierre being dragged out of


    a car and into the house. I''m only telling you now that I''m certain enough," Gordan sounded very sure.


    He said all of this to cover up for Luke.


    Besides, he hated Pierre too, so he wanted him to suffer a little more.


    If the Mallory family did not have to pay the ransom now, they would not decide on their next move this


    soon.


    Leroy was next to Gordan while he listened to him make up that story, but he did not break a sweat, nor


    did he look guilty.


    His power and aura were as great as Luke''s.


    Only the strongest of minds were able to lie in front of Luke and Percy as if they were undeniably


    speaking the truth.


    Leroy could not help but give a thumbs up in admiration.


    He had heard about what Gordan could do, but he thought that it was just an exaggeration, so he did


    not take it seriously. He did not expect it to be true...


    Gordan smirked at him.


    Leroy then mouthed two words at him, ''You''re awesome.''


    Gordan also responded in the same way, “Of course."


    Leroy was speechless at how cocky he was. His ability to lie, strong mind, and thick skin, were


    unmatched.


    Percy was silent.


    Gordan did not want Percy to cower away and pay the ransom to save Pierre, so he had to put in a


    word or two.


    Gordan said, "Mr. Mallory, I don''t think you should pay the ransom."


    Before Percy could reply he said, "The Ind of Despair''s tactics is ruthless. The reason they haven''t


    done anything to your brother is that he''s still worth 30 million."


    Although Percy had never mentioned 30 million to him before, he could say that Luke had mentioned it.


    "If they have a grudge against Pierre, they''ll still be able to get rid of him once they receive the money.


    Then, the Mallory family will lose the money and also Pierre. If you dy a bit while I carry out my


    mission, the chances of your brother surviving will be much higher. The Ind of Despair will not do


    anything to him before we go in. Plus, I have enough manpower here. Although I can''t guarantee Mr.


    Pierre''s safety, I can still rescue him. I''m confident."
