Dustin’s pledge stirred a deep sense of gratitude within Lucas.

Lucas said, “If you can genuinely assist in rescuing my sister and seeking retribution for my mother, I will forever be

in your debt. I’m more than willing to repay your kindness in any way possible.”

He felt overwhelmed and instinctively inclined to bow.

Interrupting the gesture, Dustin earnestly declared, “Mr. Ashen, there’s no need for such formality. When faced with

injustice, it becomes our duty to step in. No resident of West Lucozia would stand idly by in the face of such

wrongdoing.”

“Mr. Ashen, this isn’t the place for discussion. There’s a coffeehouse outside the memorial park. Let’s head there to

strategize,” Grace suggested.

“Alright.”

Lucas nodded.

Lucas used a cane for support as he left the memorial park with Dustin and Grace. They arrived at a coffeehouse

named Aroma Haven Cafe.

The coffeehouse had two bustling floors. The first was a hub of activity- coffee, entertainment, and music. It

created a lively atmosphere. The second floor was quieter and offered more privacy.

Dustin opted for a private room, and the trio settled in. He ordered coffee and some exquisite pastries.

“Mr. Ashen, to understand the situation better, I need to ask you a few questions,” Dustin said, extending a cup of

coffee to Lucas.

Parched from the emotional recounting, Lucas eagerly drank it.

He responded, “Feel free to ask. I’ll tell you everything.”

“Good. Do you know where Russo is currently?” Dustin inquired.

“Russo’s unpredictable. He’s often found in places like nightclubs, bars, and KTV joints,” Lucas shared.

Then, he recalled, “Oh, I remember. Russo owns a bar called Russo Lounge. He hangs out there, socializing and

engaging in shady deals.”

“Russo Lounge?”

Dustin nodded.

“And how is your sister doing now? Do you have any information about her?”

At the mention of his sister, Lucas tightened his grip on the cup, revealing a mix of sorrow and anger.

“Since they abducted my sister, her whereabouts remain unknown. I’ve tried asking friends, but once they hear

Russo’s name, they become too scared to be involved with me.”

“It seems that Russo indeed has quite a reputation. Mr. Ashen, stay calm. I’ll do my best to rescue your sister,”

Dustin assured.

Dustin turned to Grace.

“Pri-Grace, dispatch someone to Russo Lounge. Let’s check if Russo is hanging around there.”

“No problem.”

Grace nodded and rose from her seat. She exited the room to coordinate with the undercover agents.

“Mr. Rhys, considering Russo’s influence, are you sure about this?” Lucas cautiously asked.
