Chapter 2712 Pierre Actually Wanted Percy Dead

"Why don't you ask around? Besides, what does your brother do for a living? I wonder if his job

matches the girl's job," said Mrs. Selley. She wanted Luca to help.

Luca felt helpless listening to what she said.

Amur showed no interest in this. Why did Mrs. Selley sound like she had already decided for him?

“It'd be better if you can ask him in person.” The moment Luca finished her sentence, she found the

key in her pocket. When she was about to take it out and open the door, the door opened.

“I have a crush. You don't have to worry about that.” Amur looked straight into Mrs. Selley’s eyes

with a mask on his face. Then, he took the bag that Luca was carrying and went into the house.

Mrs. Selley was dumbfounded as she remained rooted to the spot. She did not know her voice was

so loud that Amur, who was in the house, heard her.

Was the soundproofing of the apartment that bad?

Luca noticed the awkward expression on Mrs. Selley’s face. She smiled to ease the situation. “Mrs.

Selley, you heard him too. Let's forget about this.”

After that, Luca walked into the apartment and closed the door behind her.

Mrs. Selley glanced at her pet dog. It kept quiet while looking at her standing awkwardly outside

someone else's apartment unit.

"It's so embarrassing. It's my first attempt at matchmaking,” grumbled Mrs. Selley as she quickly

walked back to her apartment.

Luca followed Amur to the kitchen. After she watched him put the two bags of ingredients on the

kitchen counter, she pursed her lips and asked, "You heard everything?"

"The soundproofing isn't that good. Besides, that woman has a loud voice,” answered Amur. He was

disgusted at the thought of Mrs. Selley trying to set him up with another woman.

He hated busybodies like her.

“Amur, maybe you can actually think about it,” Luca suddenly exclaimed.

"It'd be better for me not to cause any trouble for the others.” Amur smiled bitterly. He looked at

the two bags of ingredients and turned to look at her. "How are we able to finish all this?"

“I did buy more. You must be waiting for his orders in A City these days. That's why I'll prepare more

food to put in the fridge. You only have to warm it when you're hungry.” Luca bought some

ingredients to make some unbaked pot pies for Amur so that he could have her homemade food

more often.

These could be left in the fridge, and they could last for a long time.

“Okay.” Amur nodded and helped Luca to take the ingredients out of the bag.

"Why are you wearing a mask at home? Did you catch a cold?” asked Luca. However, Amur sounded

alright when she listened to him.

“No...” Amur did not lie to her.

He knew Luca very well. If he admitted that he caught a cold, his lies would eventually be exposed.

“Your face...” The expression on Luca's face became stern. “Take it off.”

“It's nothing...” said Amur. He did not want Luca to see his swollen face.

Amur immediately fell asleep when he lay on the bed after arriving at the apartment. He had yet to

reduce the swelling in his face. He noticed that the swelling had gotten more serious when he woke

up.

“You'll have to take it off while we're having dinner later. Amur, show me now.” Luca forced him.

Amur had no choice but to take the mask off helplessly.

"Why is it so serious? Did he hit you?” Luca was talking about Abel.

Amur nodded and reached out to her. “Give it to me.”

Luca knew he was asking for her phone. Therefore, she took out her phone and handed it to him.

Amur took his phone out as well and placed them in the bedroom. He closed the door and returned

to the kitchen.

Luca had already opened the fridge, looking for something.

"What are you looking for?” Amur asked with confusion.

“I'm looking for a cold compress. The swelling is too serious. You have to apply a cold compress to

the swollen area. I remember I placed two ice packs in the fridge last time,” replied Luca. She

eventually found an ice pack in the fridge.

Luca took it out and handed it to Amur. “Apply it.”

“It's cold.” Amur frowned. It was icy to apply this on his face in such chilly weather.

"Why are you afraid of the cold? You're a man. Are you even afraid of this?" Luca refused to believe

him. She knew how strong Amur was.

Amur had no choice but to take the ice pack from her and apply it to his face.

As Luca began to clean the vegetables, she asked, “Tell me. Why did he hit you?”

Even though Abel was a deceitful person, he would not easily hit others. He would always find a

reason when he wanted to do it.

“I broke Pierre's leg,” Amur answered in a relaxed tone.

Luca was startled for a moment. Her gestures were interrupted too. “Is that true?”

“Yes. I'm pretty sure about that. Even if he manages to fix it, he'll suffer from the sequela after his

surgery,” replied Amur. At that time, he unleashed a devastating kick that left no doubt as to his

prowess and dominance.

He had violently stepped on Pierre's fragile bones. He could even hear the bones cracking at that

time.

“That was cruel. Aren't you afraid that he’s going to take revenge on you?” Luca shook her head.

However, she did not feel sorry for Pierre.

“No. Let me see how capable he is,” said Amur as Pierre and Abel's conversation came across his

mind. He reminded Luca, “Pierre is trying to work together with Abel. He wants to spend money to

take Luke's and Percy's lives.”

Luca frowned. It was understandable that Pierre hated Luke.

She knew why he wanted Luke dead. After all, Luke had ruined a lot of his plans.

However, Pierre actually wanted Percy dead...

They were brothers, but Pierre actually wanted his brother dead. Luke and Louis were more like full

brothers in comparison...

"Did he agree with him?” Even though Luca knew Abel's answer, she still asked about it.

If Abel had agreed to it, Amur would not have chosen to tell her now. He would have informed her

in the first instance.

“No. He's not planning to work together with Pierre.” Amur shook his head.

“Then what made Abel change his mind all of a sudden?” Luca was curious. Abel hardly changed his

mind once he had decided to do something.

However, he changed his mind at the last minute.

“He needs money.” Amur looked at Luca's hand and came forward. “Let me clean the vegetables. I'll

help to clean everything.”

"Okay." Luca accepted his offer. After all, they could have dinner earlier if she had someone to help

her. She still had to prepare unbaked pot pies after dinner.

“What does he want the money for?” asked Luca. Abel's pharmaceutical company already generated

a huge amount of profits for him by selling Shanks's recipe. The products were also launched

overseas.

Abel should not be short of money when the Island of Despair had accepted so many missions.

"He's planning to do some arms trade,” replied Amur. “He needs cash to invest in the business.

That's why he’s planning to ask the Mallory family for the ransom. That's what changed his mind. He

asked me to kidnap Pierre and send him to the stronghold in X City.”

“He's cautious, indeed...” commented Luca. Abel usually loved staying in A City. He was worried that

the Mallory family would be able to track him down, and that was why he asked Amur to bring

Pierre to X City.
