Chapter 3234 Can''t Even Manage To Escape
Therefore, Luca could not quite connect with Vivian emotionally in this regard.
After lunch, they decided to head to Vivian''s apartment to rest. The two of them headed toward the apartment.
Vivian''s apartment was close to the university. Vivian had eaten a bit too much and suggested they take shared bikes back.
Luca agreed happily.
They each rented a bike and headed toward the apartment.
The midday sun was strong, but luckily, the road was shaded, so it was not too hot. As they rode along, three men suddenly appeared and blocked their way.
*Ms. Craw, we meet again," said Gerry. He was the same burly man who had stopped Luca earlier.
Luca was rendered speechless. She did not expect them to show up again after their failed attempt just an hour before.
*I underestimated them," Luca said in Russian.
Vivian did not expect them either. She replied in a guilty tone, "I''m sorry, Luca. I didn''t think they would be this persistent..."
They could have had Warren drive them, but Vivian was in a bad mood and she had eaten too much just now, so she thought some exercise might help her feel better.
They did not expect these men to show up again.
"I didn''t expect it either, but don''t worry. I can handle these three. Vivian, when I say run, just run and don''t look back," said Luca. She was confident in her ability to take on three men.
She could handle three men at once on the Ind of Despair. These three would not be tougher than those guys. Everything would be fine as long as Vivian got away.
Vivian frowned when she heard what Luca said. "But leaving you here alone is too dangerous."
Luca was still speaking in Russian, "Vivian, you have to trust me. If they catch you, I won''t be able to do anything."
"..." Vivian remembered that Luca was good at fighting. She realized she might just be a burden if she stayed. Vivian clenched her teeth and told herself that she would be helping Luca by running away. Thus, she said, " Alright, you count down, and I''ll run."
Gerry was annoyed at being ignored and not being able to understand their conversation.
*Enough! Do you even see us?" yelled Gerry.
Luca said, "Now, Vivian, run!"
Then, she immediately charged at the three men.
"Damn, this woman knows how to fight!" eximed Gerry just before Luca took him down. "Damn it, she''s tough!"
The other two men realized Luca was not easy to deal with and watched her closely.
Gerry, who was on the ground, saw Vivian running away and thought of a way to subdue Luca. "Go after that foreign woman and capture her!"
"Got it!" replied another man, slipping past Luca and running toward Vivian.
"Vivian, run!" Luca shouted, realizing what they were up to.
However, no matter how fast Vivian tried to run, she could not outrun a trained man.
Within seconds, the man caught up and grabbed her.
It was midday, and they had already left the busy streets near the school. The road was deserted.
Gerry smirked when he saw Vivian being captured. "So, Ms. Craw, are you still gonna fight back?"
Luca watched helplessly as Vivian was caught. She knew that if she kept fighting, Vivian would be the one to suffer.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
"Cowards!" Luca cursed under her breath.
*Hmph, we should thank that friend of yours!" sneered Gerry, realizing that Luca would not have surrendered so easily if they had not captured the foreign woman.
"Let her go, and I''ll go with you," said Luca.
"Do you think we''re stupid? If we let her go, she''ll just run and call for help. Come on, Ms. Craw, we don''t want to hurt your friend," replied Gerry.
They had orders from Karen to bring Luca back unharmed.
Earlier, they were struggling to figure out how to do that without injuring her.
They did not expect such an opportunity to present itself.
When Vivian was brought over, she apologized, "Luca, I''m so sorry. This is all my fault."
"Oh, so this woman speaks English? Why were you babbling in a foreignnguage earlier, then?" The man narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
"If you touch her, I''ll break my own hand!" Luca sensed Gerry''s intention to take out his frustration on Vivian and warned him.
She figured that Karen had instructed them not to harm her. That was why they had not used force at the university''s gate.
Gerry paused for a moment when he heard her, then he raised his hands. "Fine, fine. We won''t touch her. Let''s go."
Luca and Vivian were taken away by the men.
They were put into a small truck and had their hands and feet bound.
Luca whispered to Vivian in Russian, "Don''t be scared."
"I''m not scared. It''s just that if I hadn''t asked you to ride bikes with me, this wouldn''t have happened." Vivian was filled with guilt.
Vivian knew these men had kidnapped Luca for a reason.
However, she was not afraid, believing that Luke would rescue Luca.
She would be rescued too.
"Don''t worry about it. I''m here by choice," Luca reassured her, but she was also puzzled.
She should not have underestimated these men. They seemed quite clever, using Vivian as a leverage point.
Luca felt guilty, knowing that if it were not for her, Vivian would not have ended up in this situation. Luca narrowed her eyes and said to Gerry, "Do you know who she is?"
Gerry could not be bothered. "Just another foreign woman. Plenty of theme to study at the university."
"She''s Russian," Luca revealed.
Gerry raised an eyebrow, finally understanding what Luca was trying to say. "Oh, you were speaking Russian earlier. I thought it didn''t sound like English."
*Do you know what''s mostmon in Russia?" continued Luca.
"What?" asked Gerry, ying along.
*There are a lot of underground organizations in Russia," said Luca.
"So?" Gerry nced at Vivian, doubting her connection to such groups.
That was not possible!
It seemed impossible for someone from an underground organization tock basic self-defense skills.
Still, Luca''s words nted a seed of doubt.
*Her brother is part of a well-known underground organization in Russia. If he finds out you kidnapped her, you''ll be in big trouble," warned Luca.
She revealed Vivian''s identity just to make Karen, who was behind this, scared.
Vivian was surprised that Luca revealed her real identity.
Yet, she quickly understood. Luca was trying to protect her.
If she did not have a strong enough backing to scare them off, Vivian would be Luca''s weak spot and might
end up getting hurt.
*Hahaha! Are you kidding me? She''s the sister of a Russian underground boss? She couldn''t even manage to escape!" Gerry refused to believe what Luca said and thought that she was just trying to scare them.
*You can check online. I''ll give you two keywords-Russian underground organization'' and ''Ray Lacroix''. See if I''m lying." Luca gave Vivian a reassuring look.
