After that reply, the atmosphere in the car became dead silent.
Steven looked at Gwen‘s intricate and exquisite face. He wanted to say something as he opened his
mouth, but he did not know what to say. He thus closed his eyes and sighed deeply. Nevermind. He
was not Luke and not her lover. He did not have the right to stop her from leaving
Nonetheless...
Was there any meaning for him to turn into Luke if she was gone? “Let‘s go.”
At that moment, Gwen‘s voice interrupted his thinking. When Steven‘s senses returned, Gwen had
already opened the door and walked toward the car park. He felt listless for a moment, but he quickly
made his move to chase after her.
With guidance from Nigel via the phone, they avoided all of the guards and most of the surveillance
cameras. Finally, they reached a resting room in the inner part of the underground car park. They also
found Mr. Zink, who was locked up in the room.
Mr. Zink was not like his usual spirited self when they found him. In fact, he looked rather bloodied with
bluish, bruised–up eyes. He was very weak, and the worst part was there were two muscular and
strong guards looking after him in the room.
“We can‘t take down those two people,” remarked Gwen as she furrowed her brow, looking at Mr. Zink
and the two guards from far away. 1
“Maybe we can,” Steven answered with his narrowed eyes while looking in the same direction.
“Are...you sure?” She furrowed her brows and looked at Steven warily.
Yes, Steven‘s body was strong enough because Luke had been training and was often fighting other
people. Nonetheless, even with Luke‘s body, Steven was not Luke. Gwen did not believe he could
carry such a weight.
“I‘m not sure,” confessed Steven. “But, for some reason... I believe I can do it.”
It was not his confidence talking. Rather than that, it was a type of feeling. If it was the old him, he
would have spoken so daringly. Currently, there was a voice in his heart that told him he was able to
take down those two people.
With that thought in his mind, he looked at Gwen firmly. “If I‘m not Steven but Luke, do you...
He paused. “Do you think he can take those two men down?”
“Yes,” Gwen replied instantly without even giving it a thought. She had been with Luke long enough
and had seen Luke fight before. Taking down these two guards was a piece of cake to him. Even if
there were four guards in the room, Luke could handle it without a sweat.
Nevertheless...
“Then I can handle it too,” said Luke before Gwen said anything else. “If Luke can do it, so can I.”
He was Luke, and Luke was him. With this thought in his mind, he inhaled deeply. Then, he picked up a
stone by the side and threw it to the far side.
The noise in the empty car park startled the two guards. For safety purposes, the two guards
exchanged looks with each other, and the thinner guard decided to go take a look at where the sound
came from. In the meantime, the bulkier guard remained in the same place to guard Mr. Zink
After the thinner guard left, Steven took a deep breath and stood up. He dashed toward the bulkier
guard. Gwen held her breath as she watched nervously.
Steven and Luke were different. Luke had his own fighting style, but Steven did not.
After a round of aimless punching, Steven‘s punches never actually hit the guard. On the contrary, it
gave the bulkier guard time to react. The sound attracted the thinner guard‘s attention and made him
rush back to the room.
At the moment, Steven had threats coming at him from the front and back. Gwen bit her lip and closed
her eyes helplessly. He was not Luke after all! What was he trying to prove?!
