Chapter 2766 The Mallory Family’s Large Business

Jim twitched a little when their mailbox was mentioned.

He took out his phone to check his emails, and sure enough, there was an email from an unknown

address.

This was only his first time meeting Kastov, but he had already found their private email addresses

while they were busy eating.

Jim recalled that during the meal, Kastov did not look at his phone much, and he had the table

manners of a nobleman from Europe.

It seemed like the man Marcos brought over here was quite the expert.

Percy also took a look at his email and, likewise, there was an email from an unknown address.

Luke was the only one who didn't pick up his phone. Instead, he picked up the teacup and sipped it

slowly with a gloomy look on his face.

“I heard your brother has been kidnapped by the people of the Island of Despair. Has there been

any news?" asked Kastov. Marcos had informed him of it before their arrival.

“No.” replied Percy curtly. Whenever this subject was brought up, Percy would get annoyed.

So what if they knew it was the Island of Despair? The rest of the Mallory Family were restless, while

there was no news from the Island of Despair at all.

Kastov was not surprised, but instead, he sneered, “That's normal. It's their tactic, so don't worry. If

they took him away, they wouldn't take him away just to kill him.”

He was familiar with the methods of the Island of Despair.

If the Island of Despair wanted to kiill someone, they would not go through the trouble of

transporting them somewhere else. They would just do it on the spot.

Although Percy did not know the Island of Despair as well as he did, he was certain that these

people did not kidnap Pierre just to kill him.

The reason why they had not made a move was to make the Mallory Family anxious.

Percy was not too anxious about it, but the Island of Despair's inaction was causing Old Master

Mallory to be restless.

People were looking everywhere for Pierre right now, but there was still no news at all.

“You don't have to worry about your brother being in their hands. Even if something were to

happen, the Island of Despair has a highly skilled doctor. I'd be exaggerating if I said that he could

bring the dead back to life. In fact, there's an eighty percent chance that he would be able to save

them from their dying breath, so rest assured. His life won't be at stake,” said Kastov.

Luke took the opportunity to ask, “What's his name?”

“I don’t know. I just know that such a person exists, and that he’s skilled in both Western and

Chinese medicine. Recently, I heard that he was looking for some extremely rare drugs that may

only exist in A City, but the people he sent here has yet to find it. If you manage to find those

people, perhaps you could find out more about the doctor,” said Kastov.

He went through the risk of investigation to get all of this information.

Although it wasn't very detailed, it was still much more than anyone here knew.

Luke thought of Luca's medical skills and realized that she must have learned from that doctor.

Luke frowned. Although Luca had learned a lot, his heart ached at the thought of her ingesting that

poison and suffering on the Island of Despair. He wanted to find out who the doctor was and make

him suffer for the rest of his life.

That was how much Luke was willing to do for Luca.

Not to mention, Kastov's words had opened up a new path for him to investigate.

As soon as Kastov finished speaking, Percy's phone rang.

He glanced to see that the Mallory Manor was calling, and he answered it without a second

thought.

Before Percy could speak, the butler on the other end said, “Master Percy, you must return quickly.

Something happened.”

"What happened?” frowned Percy, but his voice remained calm.

After all, he was the one with the clearest mind in the Mallory Family.

Percy could not panic, because if he did, he would fall into the Island of Despair’s trap, which could

ruin the entire Mallory Family.

"We've received news from the kidnappers. They've told Old Master Mallory their ransom demand,

and the house is in chaos. You need to come back and take charge of the situation.”

After the kidnappers called, Madam Mallory sneaked out of the bedroom and eavesdropped on

their conversation with Old Master Mallory.

So, Karen heard all of their demands.

She thought that Old Master Mallory's inaction was because he did not want to save Pierre, so she

started causing a ruckus by demanding money to save Pierre.

Now, two maids were trying to pull Karen back into her room.

Karen has not eaten in days, but Pierre's situation has given her the strength to fight back. The

maids could not drag her back to her room no matter how hard they tried, so it caused a huge

mess.

Old Master Mallory was so angry at Karen. So much so that he developed a headache and his blood

pressure surged. He had to take medicine to lower it back down.

Percy could even hear the backgroud noise from the butlers end.

There were sounds of the maids comforting her, and the sound of Karen crying.

Percy replied calmly, “I'll be back at once.”

After he hung up, he apologized to the others, “The Island of Despair has proposed their ransom

demands, so I have to go back and take care of it. I'm sorry.”

“It's fine, you should go back,” nodded Luke. He still did not mention that Gordan had already found

out where they hid him.

He wanted to see what kind of demands the Island of Despair would ask from the Mallory Family.

Percy stood up and left with Nina.

The four chatted for a bit without bringing up the Island of Despair, and soon enough, the dinner

came to an end.

Then, Luke left with Luca.

At the thought of Percy taking Nina away earlier, Luca got in the car and asked, “Why did Mr.

Mallory take Nina away so suddenly?”

“The kidnapper had presented their ransom demands and the Mallory family was in chaos, so he

had to go back, "said Luke, turning to look at her.

Luca was surprised and muttered, “So soon?”

She thought that Abel would only give them his demands tomorrow!

“What do you mean so soon?” Instantly, Luke knew that Luca was hiding something.

However, she could not say anything, given her current situation.

Luke knew that it had nothing to do with Luca as she was by his side when Pierre was kidnapped, so

she had no chance of getting involved.

“It's nothing, it's just that the kidnapper called out of nowhere.” Luca was so shocked that she made

a slip of the tongue.

After all, when she knew this much, she was always at risk of accidentally revealing something.

Luca then realized the reason Abel chose to tell the Mallory Family his demands now.

He must be asking for a huge ransom.

Even if the Mallory Family had a big business, the assets they had were not entirely liquid.

Abel wanted cash to transfer accounts easily, so he had to give the Mallory Family enough time to

prepare such a large amount.
