Lucas was undoubtedly excited, but the child continued to write, "However, the things inside the small
dark room are almost broken. They were thrown in because they were useless. I heard that the room
used to be a warehouse. We can't see anything inside, and we don't know what there is. I accidentally
touched the transmitter the last time I was locked up, and then I secretly brought it out. But I don't know
where it is now."
Lucas frowned slightly but was optimistic.
"It's fine. As long as there's that thing, I have a way to get all of us out of here. But I need a lighter."
He didn't know what in the small dark room met his needs, but it was too dark inside, without any light.
So it wasn't easy to find what he wanted.
Because two more children had died recently, the rest were eager to go out. Seeing Lucas’ happy look,
they had a glimmer of hope.
"I can get a lighter,"
A kid said.
Lucas knew that these children were eager for freedom, just like he was eager to go home.
"Alright! Let's cooperate tomorrow. I'll find a reason to be locked up in the small dark room. The rest of
you, don't give yourself away."
Lucas’ words made everyone calm down. They seemed a little excited, as well as worried and afraid.
Hedy held Lucas’ hand and wrote, "I will go into the small dark room with you."
Recalling Hedy had been coughing for the past few days because of being beaten last time, Lucas
hurriedly shook his head.
"No, I can do it myself. You can't be beaten anymore."
She was only two years older than him and Zoe, but she was skinny, which made others feel sorry.
But Hedy insisted.
Lucas whispered, "If you don't obey, I'll go out and tell them my identity now. I will perhaps die."
He didn't know why he wanted to threaten Hedy with his life, but at this moment, he just didn't want to
see Hedy get beaten up, not even a bit.
She was probably the first person that he felt sorriest except his family.
Hedy hurriedly shut up, but she was a little angry.
Seeing her like this, Lucas couldn't help but think of Zoe.
He really missed that foodie.
Recalling she called him brother and how happy she was when she ate,
Lucas wanted to go out even more.
When the training started in the afternoon, Lucas deliberately stirred up trouble with the guard and was
beaten up.
He covered his important part and bore ferocious fists. He felt extremely painful, but he could only
clench his teeth and persevere.
Just as Lucas thought that he was about to be beaten to death, another guard walked over and
stopped the one who hit him.
"Alright, stop. I think he's the only one with good aptitude in this group of children. No matter what, he is
a talent. Don't cripple him. Otherwise, there will be no one left. We can't afford the blame of our leader.
Take him into the dark room and let him starve for a day or two. He will be obedient."
"Brat, you're lucky!"
The guard directly tossed Lucas into the small dark room.
A child hurriedly came up to stop him and threw the lighter into Lucas’ pocket.
"Hey, do you want to die?"
The guard who hit Lucas was irritable. Although he was holding Lucas, he still waved his fist.
The child was so frightened that he hurriedly ran back and obediently started training.
"What a miserable wretch."
The guard threw Lucas into the small dark room.
Lucas almost shouted when he was suddenly thrown onto the floor, after being beaten hard.
After the guard left, Lucas climbed to the wall and leaned against it, panting heavily.
How miserable he was to be subjected to many indignities when he lost influence.
He would take revenge on them.
Lucas adjusted his breathing, then took out his lighter and looked around. He discovered that it was
indeed a warehouse, and it was quite big. However, because it was too dark, everyone was afraid
every time they came in, so they had never paid attention to this place.
He crawled and was surprised to discover that there was what he wanted here.
No one was paying attention to him now, so he started to fiddle with it.
Thankfully, there were no surveillance cameras or electronic equipment.
Perhaps those people thought the room was an abandoned warehouse, and it was enough to scare the
children. Anyway, they couldn't imagine anything else.
However, they met Lucas.
Lucas’ entire body was in pain so that he didn't dare to move. However, thinking of Nicole, Zoe,
Samuel, Hedy, and those children, he had the courage and confidence again.
During these four days, Samuel and Nicole took action, too.
Samuel caught up with the bus, but the person on the bus said that a woman got off the bus with a
child halfway, and he did not know where she went.
He then went back, but after two days of searching, there was just a clue that the child had been taken
to a more remote place.
Samuel went on with the tracking. On the way, he had met countless assassins.
The more remote he went, the more shootings and accidents he encountered.
Samuel was mad with anger.
He wanted to call back and directly ask Vincent what he wanted to do, but he still called Nicole first.
"How is it going at home recently?"
What Samuel really wanted to ask was Nicole.
He knew that it was dangerous to leave Nicole at home now, but he had to look for Lucas.
Knowing that Vincent was going to kill Lucas, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
Nicole did not know if Vincent had installed a bug at home. She whispered, "It's not good. I fell sick
again. Mom's heart is not good, so Doctor Farley took her to the hospital, accompanied by Regina. Zoe
has been making a ruckus these past few days, saying that she wants to find her brother. Joseph
always comforted her. How're you? Is everything OK? Did you find Lucas?"
Samuel was slightly stunned.
This arrangement surprised him.
He knew about Laurel's health. Last time, because of the poison, he specifically asked for some tonic
medicine from Blair. Although Lucas’ disappearance might make her worried, Samuel felt it was a bit
too much to make her hospitalized.
But that was what Nicole said just now.
Moreover, since Nicole fell sick, she should have gone to the hospital. But she stayed at home.
Samuel immediately understood.
Could this silly woman have taken herself as a hostage and deliberately stayed at home?
She was afraid that Vincent would attack Laurel, so she sent Laurel away first.
There was a good tacit understanding between Samuel and Nicole.
When he realized why Nicole did this, he couldn't help but feel sorry.
"Have a good rest if you're not well. Don't worry. I have some clues about Lucas. I'll bring him back in a
few days. Rest assured,"
Samuel said this to Nicole and also to Vincent.
If Nicole's guess was correct, Vincent would be able to hear their conversation now.
Nicole hurriedly asked, "Really?"
"Yes. Don't worry. Trust your man, OK?"
Nicole wanted to cry.
"I know. I believe you. But how have you been outside these days? I heard that you didn't have much
rest."
Nicole was worried about Samuel.
Samuel looked at the injuries all over his body and smiled, "I'm fine. I'm a man. What can happen to
me? I'm just tired. Don't worry about me. Don't you know who I am? I just want to find Lucas now, and
then we can reunite."
"I know. Thank you."
Nicole bit her lower lip.
She had many other things to ask, but she couldn't do it now.
Finn told her what happened to Samuel on the way, so she was worried, but she still pretended not to
know anything and could not even comfort him.
If all this was done by Vincent, Nicole would not let him off!
Even if he was Samuel's brother, Nicole would take revenge on him.
Samuel hung up reluctantly.
It had been three or four days since they last met. He really missed and was worried about Nicole. But
now, he had to stay outside. This feeling was terrible.
"Take good care of yourself and wait for me to return. No matter what happens, you must find Vincent
first. He is my younger brother and will take good care of you!"
Nicole nodded slightly.
They prattled for a while before hanging up.
Vincent was indeed eavesdropping.
When he heard Samuel asked Nicole to resort to him when something happened, he smiled slightly.
"When you sacrificed me and won praises from others, did you ever think that I was your biological
brother? When you forced me to leave the Green's and go to Bordeaux, did you ever think that I was
your biological brother? When you raised my woman and child beside you and said that he was your
son, did you ever think that I was your biological brother? Now, you finally know. It's too late! Samuel,
from now on, you have to pay back what you owed me before,"
Vincent said coldly. He also thought of what Samuel had just said.
Did he have clues about Lucas?
It seemed that he got something fun to do.
Vincent called the manager of the club.
"Ask your men to stop and secretly follow Samuel to see where he will go and if he can find Lucas. If
he does, don't attack Samuel. It's best to kill Lucas in front of him. I want him to see his son die in front
of him to let him experience the feeling when his beloved die!"
Vincent took out a pocket watch from his pocket.
When he opened it, a picture of Riley could be seen!
