Chapter 2779
Gordan had no intention of confronting these terrifying members of the Island of Despair.
After all, they were armed with guns and grenades. He was a law-abiding citizen who would not bring these things into A City.
Plus, Luke's idea was to avoid conflict if possible.
After all, the Mallory family would be affected if things escalated.
Sometimes, Gordan would feel that Luke was too kind to Percy, to the extent that their close relationship could easily be misunderstood by others.
However, both of them had women whom they loved.
He sometimes even suspected that there were certain intimacies between them, but he could not think further about it.
Gordan pulled a cigarette out of his pocket. This was no ordinary cigarette. It was a kind of drug.
The kidnappers had used it to drug Pierre before taking him here. Gordan wanted to see how it would work on them this time.
Even though Gordan wanted to go head-to-head with them, Luke reminded him not to cause a disturbance or attract the attention of the police and the media. Therefore, he could only resort to this sneaky method.
Although it was not only sneaky but also a dishonorable method, it was still a way to let them have a taste of their medicine.
Gordan looked at the flattened cigarette in his hand. In this old-fashioned residential building, the bedroom doors were all tattered and had a large gap underneath. He stuffed the cigarette in and it fit perfectly.
He carefully lit it and quickly inserted it under the door while holding his breath.
The others also held their breath when they saw Gordan light the cigarette.
Gordan purchased the cigarette on the black market in Russia. It was effective...
He looked at his watch and counted the time.
When the second hand on his watch made a full circle, he took out the cigarette and extinguished it on the ground.
Then, he pushed open the door and signaled to one of the men.
The man put on the gas mask and entered the bedroom.
According to Luke's instructions, they had to take photos of the appearance of each of the members of the Island of Despair if there was no conflict.
The man was afraid of being drugged after entering the bedroom, which was why he wore the gas mask.
Gordan continued to walk toward another bedroom.
It was not so much a bedroom but rather where Pierre was being held.
Gordan could see that there was always someone near the room when he was spying on them.
It was especially so at night.
Judging from Gordan's past experiences, he analyzed that they took turns guarding Pierre. That was why there was always someone nearby.
During the night time, the person on duty would not go back to his bedroom to sleep. Instead, he would sleep on a makeshift bed at the door. It was to prevent Pierre from escaping.
Gordan and Leroy quietly approached until they were next to the person.
"Who's there?" In an instant, the man felt someone approaching and instinctively reached for his gun while sitting up.
Leroy reacted with lightning speed, blocking the man's arm before he could fire.
The gun went off with a loud bang.
Kazimir knew what was happening when he heard the sound of the gunshot. He looked at the faces before him and realized they were here to rescue someone.
"Damn it, Alexsei!" Kazimir could not believe that something would happen on the day they were about to receive the ransom after living peacefully for days. He called out for Alexsei as he grappled with Leroy.
Leroy knew the man had a gun. He was cautious when they both struggled, and he was constantly dodging the muzzle.
Kazimir scowled, "How dare you come here?! I'll make sure you never leave here alive! F*ck you!"
He fired another shot.
Everyone dodged, evading the enemy's fire.
Gordan moved quickly. He moved to the side, hid, and lit a sedative smoke bomb.
He held his breath and waited for the right moment. Then, he brought the smoke bomb to the man's face as he fought with Leroy.
The concentration of the drug was so high that anyone in the room would pass out within a minute.
It would only take a second for the person who breathed in the smoke to pass out if he held it up to his nostrils.
Gordan knew the potency of the drug too well. Just a whiff of it could knock one out for over two hours...
Even though Gordan loved to fight, they did not have any weapons with them. Their limbs and head were unprotected, though they had put on bulletproof vests.
He could not afford to risk the lives of Leroy and his team.
A shot to the limbs could leave them disabled, while a shot to the head would be fatal.
As the smoke bomb got closer to Kazimir's nose, he suddenly took a deep breath.
Leroy immediately covered his nose.
The smoke bomb caught them off guard. Leroy did not realize that, and he had taken a small puff.
He immediately felt dizzy and disoriented.
Leroy steadied himself as he watched Kazimir sway and fall to the ground.
Leroy moved to the side.
Gordan quickly extinguished the smoke bomb.
One of Leroy's subordinates noticed him staggering and immediately came forward to help him up. "Brother Leroy, are you okay?"
With the two men in the house being taken care of, they were finally able to talk to each other.
"Gordan! Give us a heads up next time you use a smoke bomb!" Leroy glared at Gordan. Even though he only caught a small whiff of the smoke, he felt like he was walking on clouds.
He felt fuzzy-headed.
"It was urgent. You might have gotten your head shot." Gordan kicked Kazimir, who had already passed out.
He had fired several shots a moment ago. It was likely that people nearby had been alerted since the gun did not have a silencer.
"Rescue Pierre. We must leave," said Gordan. Then, he took his phone out and took a picture of Kazimir's face.
Leroy pushed the bedroom door open.
Pierre was awakened by the noise outside. He thought the Mallory family had sent people to rescue him. However, a wave of despair arose in him the moment he saw Leroy.
He did not come here to rescue him. It was Luke's men who came. He probably came here to take revenge!
"Let's go," Leroy noticed the fear in Pierre's eyes and smirked. It seemed that Pierre remembered the lesson he gave him last time.
This was how it should be...
He should remember all the lessons he learned and stop causing trouble.
"I'm not going with you. You're with Luke. I'll be thrown into another den of wolves!" analyzed Pierre. He never thought that Luke would be kind enough to save him.
"He's really troublesome." Leroy planned to use drugs to knock Pierre out. He turned to look at Gordan.
Gordan walked into the room and said, "Did you say he's troublesome? He's smart. The gunshots have already alerted the residents living nearby. He'll be saved if someone calls the police. He's just afraid that Luke will kill him. That's why he would rather fall into the hands of the police.
“But, will you be fine if the police find you here? Mr. Pierre, the entire city's police are searching for you. Getting arrested by the police might save your life. After all, what you did might only get you sentenced for a few years. Besides, the Mallory family will probably help you and you'll be able to get out of this sh*thole. But you're coming with us today.”
