After Lonnie left, Luke’s expression remained unchanged.
He was not afraid of Old Master Bourne’s so-called revenge.
He was not an idol who made a living with his youthfulness, so his partner would have little impact on the company.
Besides, investors were not his fans. His investors valued the capability of the company’s leader.
As long as he did not collapse and T Corporation was still growing, he was not afraid of how other people might look at him.
Moreover, so what if everyone thought he had a mistress?
It did not matter as long as he knew that Luca was not a mistress.
In the business industry of A City, businessmen like Percy and Jim, who were loyal to their partners, were rare.
It would be weirder for Luke not to have a mistress.
Instead, people would think that it was normal for him to have a mistress.
After a while, the landline on his desk rang again.
Luke pressed the speakerphone with his right hand and said, “Yes?”
“Boss, Mr. Mallory is here,” said Jason. The front desk did not stop Percy as they knew that he was friends with Luke.
Plus, both of their companies were working together, so Percy was able to go up right away.
“Let him in,” said Luke.
“Yes.” Jason hung up, and before he could speak, Percy, who heard his conversation with Luke, said, “I’ll go in myself.”
“Mr. Mallory, would you like something to drink?” Jason stood up and asked.
“No, you can carry on with your work,” said Percy. He was not here to chat with Luke but to get money.
Once he got the money, he would leave right away.
The Mallory family was waiting for him to deal with the Pierre situation, so he could not delay for even a moment. Besides, he had to stay beside the phone at all times, just in case the Island of Despair called.
Jason sat back down.
Percy opened the door to Luke’s office and closed it behind him. “I’m here.”
Luke nodded and entered a pin code. Then, he heard the sound of a lock opening, and soon after, a safe popped open.
He took out a case that contained two million dollars in cash.
Luke handed it to Percy and pointed at the currency-counting machine the finance department had sent early that morning. “You count.”
“No need, I trust you,” said Percy as he took the case. He then took out his phone and transferred two million to him.
Immediately, Luke received a notification from his account.
“One more thing,” said Luke.
Percy then looked at him.
“Gordan called just now, and he said that he found out where Pierre is being held. He’s asking what he should do next. Do you want to save him by paying the ransom or do you want Gordan to help?” said Luke as he dialed Gordan’s number.
Percy frowned. Gordan called just now?
Leroy was next to Gordan while he listened to him make up that story, but he did not break a sweat, nor did he look guilty.
His power and aura were as great as Luke’s.
Only the strongest of minds were able to lie in front of Luke and Percy as if they were undeniably speaking the truth.
Leroy could not help but give a thumbs up in admiration.
He had heard about what Gordan could do, but he thought that it was just an exaggeration, so he did not take it seriously. He did not expect it to be true…
Gordan smirked at him.
Leroy then mouthed two words at him, ‘You’re awesome.’
Gordan also responded in the same way, “Of course.”
Leroy was speechless at how cocky he was. His ability to lie, strong mind, and thick skin, were unmatched.
Percy was silent.
Gordan did not want Percy to cower away and pay the ransom to save Pierre, so he had to put in a word or two.
Gordan said, “Mr. Mallory, I don’t think you should pay the ransom.”
Before Percy could reply he said, “The Island of Despair’s tactics is ruthless. The reason they haven’t done anything to your brother is that he’s still worth 30 million.”
Although Percy had never mentioned 30 million to him before, he could say that Luke had mentioned it.
“If they have a grudge against Pierre, they’ll still be able to get rid of him once they receive the money. Then, the Mallory family will lose the money and also Pierre. If you delay a bit while I carry out my mission, the chances of your brother surviving will be much higher. The Island of Despair will not do anything to him before we go in. Plus, I have enough manpower here. Although I can’t guarantee Mr. Pierre’s safety, I can still rescue him. I’m confident.”
