Chapter 2763 Needed An Heir

Marcos picked up the folder. His hand trembled slightly as he opened it.

After being separated from his mother for so many years, he had always assumed that she had

passed away. The document in this folder was his last hope.

Marcos took the documents out and quickly scanned through them.

Kastov looked at Luke and asked, "Can our conversation be overheard?"

There was a reason why he asked that. What he was about to say could not be heard by anyone

else.

Especially the woman who just went upstairs.

"No one's listening to us," replied Luke confidently. Since Luca had chosen to go upstairs, it was an

action that clarified she had no intention of eavesdropping. He was not worried about it.

Kastov nodded, "The woman who just left is one of the members of Island of Despair."

Luke raised an eyebrow.

Kastov sounded so confident when he said that. There was not a trace of confusion in his voice. He

sounded so sure that Luca was from the Island of Despair.

"Why are you so sure about that?” Luke was curious. In the past, when he was still in the dark of

Luca's true identity, he tried various methods to see if she had any features or characteristics to

show that she was from the Island of Despair.

Even after having intimate contact with her, he had not found any features to show that she was

from the Island of Despair.

Luke looked at Kastov, wondering how he could be so sure about that.

Kastov took a sip of red wine. He felt satisfied when the rich aroma of the liquor surged through his

taste buds.

He believed that Luke would have spared no effort to obtain information about the Island of

Despair.

"Before leaving the Island of Despair for the first time, the people there would take a type of poison

that had no antidote. What they did instead was drink a temporary antidote to suppress the toxicity

every month. This antidote not only relieves the toxicity of the poison and prevents any flare-ups,

but it is also beneficial to the body. For example, speeding up the healing process and reducing

pain perception. Those who take this antidote for a long period of time would emit a faint and

mysterious fragrance, like a natural body scent. The scent will always be there as long as one

continuously takes the antidote. No one would notice it. They'll only think the smell is the person's

natural body scent. When I stood close to the woman just now, I caught a whiff of that fragrance,”

explained Kastov.

Marcos had brought him to meet Luke because he knew more about the Island of Despair than the

others.

He had almost become a member of the Island of Despair himself.

He was lucky enough to escape. However, his brother was not as fortunate. He was forced to

become a member of the Island of Despair.

After his brother was taken away, Kastov constantly thought of rescuing him.

However, so far, his attempts have all been futile.

Nonetheless, he gained a little more knowledge about the Island of Despair every time he failed.

"They drugged people to manipulate them. That way, no one would dare to betray the Island of

Despair.” commented Marcos. Even though Marcos was looking at the documents, he was also

listening to Kastov.

Luke nodded and recalled one of the members of the Island of Despair who was controlled by Ray.

That person eventually could not bear the pain brought by Luca's hand, only then did he reveal

what he knew.

Kastov mentioned such a feature...

Moreover, Luca had been by his side for so long. Luke had never paid attention to the faint

fragrance on her body until he realized it had such a great significance.

Luke had developed a slightly higher level of trust toward Kastov.

Normally, he would not trust someone so easily, but Kastov came here with Marcos.

Plus, what he said was indeed related to Luca. That was why he chose to believe him.

Marcos quickly browsed through the information, "Mr. Crawford, I may need your help for the next

few days.”

"If there's anything I can do to help, name it. I'll make sure my men cooperate to the fullest extent

possible,” said Luke.

His subordinates were mainly divided into three groups. One of the groups was assisting Gordan in

X City.

The other group was investigating the Island of Despair.

The remaining group was helping Marcos find the whereabouts of his mother.

The smallest group of the three groups was searching for Marcos" birth mother. It was not an urgent

matter after all. His men would eventually find Marcos’ mother if she had been in A City this entire

time.

"Well, I need a reason to keep Ethan busy," said Marcos. His family had sent Ethan over. Even

though Ethan did not follow him today, he might follow him tomorrow.

The reason Marcos gave to prevent Ethan from following him had to be believable. Otherwise, more

people would travel to A City to keep an eye on Marcos if his family suspected he was up to

something.

It would be troublesome for him to find his mother,

Marcos was worried that his family would put his mother in danger, if they knew his mother was in

A City.

"He will start getting busy the day after tomorrow. Just wait," said Luke.

According to the information he had received, the police had already found criminal evidence on

Matysh.

They would be filling an official lawsuit with the court of trial the day after tomorrow.

As Matysh’s lawyer, Ethan would have a lot of work to do. He would not have the time or energy to

continue watching Marcos.

"My uncle is going to be prosecuted?" Marcos raised his eyebrows. He had yet to find out what was

going on.

Marcos knew that the legal system in A City was strict. There were no cases of defending the nobles

here like how they did in Russia.

In A City, even if one had money and the authority, one could not escape the punishment of the

law. They would receive their full punishment as deserved once a crime was committed.

Matysh had acted inappropriately toward Luca.

Judging from how much Luke cared for his wife, he would not let Matysh off easily.

"Yes, the police are already preparing the documents,” said Luke. Based on what he knew, the father

of that girl had handed over a lot of evidence he had secretly kept away.

As for the bankrupt company owner, people had seen him and reported his whereabouts after the

incident was exposed. He was recently arrested by the police in another city.

The police were now investigating all the evidence.

“That's good.” Marcos raised his glass and looked at Luke. “Thank you, Mr. Crawford."

He thanked Luke for helping him find his biological mother and also for helping him alleviate his

burdens.

He had no ill will towards Matysh in the first place.

Neither he was disgusted by him, nor did he hate him. It was just that they were not close to each

other.

However, once he learned about what happened to his mother, his hatred towards Matysh and the

entire family could not help but grow stronger.

If it were not for them pressuring his parents so much, his father would not have passed away at

such a young age, and his mother would not have gone through those things. They even faked her

death.

That was why he hated everyone in the family.

If Matysh had not been so promiscuous, unwilling to marry and have children, he would not have

been taken back to the family by Old Master Abaza.

The family would still have an heir if Matysh remained single for his entire life.

His bloodline was not valued by Old Master Abaza.

Old Master Abaza still had to defend his status. He needed an heir, which was the reason why he

was eventually brought back to the family.
