Luke and the young employee arrived at the garage, and the young employee said, "Your car is here."
Luke pointed at the driver's seat. "Drive. Take me out."
The young employee: "Huh?"
A moment later, a Lincoln limousine drove out of the garage.
Throwing the roll of cash into the passenger seat, Luke said, "Okay, park the car in the underground parking lot up ahead."
He didn't know how to use the car, but to save time, he had spent some money to send the manager away.
In the underground parking lot, he chased away the young employee who had received the last roll of cash and threw the car keys into the Lincoln's glove compartment.
In any case, the young employee had said that the rental car store had a GPS, and that they would find him when the time came. With his fake identity, he didn't need to bother returning the car.
Luke got into the secondhand Polonaise and headed southeast.
Looking at the route that Miss Beth's Mercedes-Benz had taken in his notebook, Luke smiled. "She's definitely a capricious young lady."
He was in a relaxed mood on the way.
There was no definite target for this operation, and he didn't know if something had happened to Miss Beth.
The air of summer blew in through the open windows, and the scenery in Poland in July was quite beautiful.
The roadside was filled with greenery. Occasionally, some buildings would appear. They had orange-red roofs and white beige walls. They were either square or round in cute shapes, making them look like little castles in fairy tales, full of a dreamy atmosphere.
Luke could only sigh. He couldn't stay.
In fact, Warsaw's cultural scene and artistic atmosphere weren't inferior to Paris's at all. It was also an art capital that many artists liked to come to.
If he had time, he could come back and play here for two days. That was his plan.
At night, Luke left the secondhand Polonaise in Poland and quietly crossed the border into Slovakia.
He took out a Vespa scooter from his inventory, which was a secondhand one he had bought with the Polonaise. He drove more than a hundred kilometers into Slovakia.
A road sign finally appeared not far away — "Natural hot springs. View of the town of Noelia. Welcome!"
He turned the car around and drove onto the small road.
Dozens of minutes later, he reached a small town. Like many European towns, it was old, small, and full of culture.
Luke rode the scooter unhurriedly through the streets, analyzing the various scents in the air as he slowly passed through the town.
At the eastern edge of town, he turned off the engine and stepped off the pedal.
Looking at the gloomy and dark forest, those tall trees were either straight or curved. In the night, their shadows were as frightening as demons and ghosts.
Luke didn't stop and went straight into the woods.
After walking for a few dozen meters, there was a small bonfire burning in a pit, occasionally making crackling sounds. Next to the bonfire was a small shed made of various kinds of iron sheets and wooden planks. There were about twenty to thirty of them.
Luke didn't stop as he walked into the pit.
There was a rustling sound, and children came out of those small sheds.
There were men and women, big and small. There were about seven or eight of them, but the oldest one was no more than ten years old, and the youngest seemed to be only five or six years old.
The children stared at Luke in silence and didn't say anything.
Luke finally said, "I want to ask for some information. Three American girls in their early twenties showed up here yesterday."
The surroundings continued to remain silent.
Luke rummaged in his pocket and took out a roll of green bills. He tossed it to a boy who was about ten years old. "Your reward."
The boy reacted quickly. He caught the roll of cash, tore off the rubber band, and quickly ran his hand through it.
He finally raised his head. "This isn't enough."
Luke chuckled and tossed him another roll of bills.
The boy caught it and examined it again. He nodded and said, "Okay, we've seen these three women before. They came here for a hot spring yesterday, and went east in the afternoon."
Luke raised an eyebrow and took out another roll of bills from his pocket. He tossed it in his hand and said, "Height, appearance, and attire, as long as you're right, this is yours."
The boy rolled his eyes and nodded. "No problem. One has black hair and a square face, one has blond hair and a pointy face, and the last one … is a little old with a lot of wrinkles on her forehead. Why … "
Luke, however, suddenly stepped back and stuffed the bills into his pocket. He then reached out and picked up the two boys behind him by the nape of their necks.
The iron rods in the hands of the two boys fell to the ground, and they waved their limbs in the air in horror.
Luke grinned. "Very good. I like people who don't play by the rules."
Throwing the two boys aside, he took out a P226 from under his armpit and aimed it at the boy who had been collecting the money. "Now, tell me where the three girls are, or you'll be the first to die."
He looked around and nodded in satisfaction. "There's a lot of people here. If one doesn't talk, the next one will. I'm sure someone here wants to live. "
As he spoke, he raised three fingers on his left hand. "I'll count to three. If you don't answer, I'll ask someone else!"
"One …"
"I'll talk," shouted the boy who was being held at gunpoint.
"Not bad. You even know how to answer first." Luke nodded in satisfaction. He picked him up and walked ten meters away.
However, the muzzle of his P226 was pointed at the campfire.
Ten minutes later, Luke was done with the questioning.
He reached into the kid's pocket and took out the two rolls of cash he had given him earlier. He then took out the roll of cash he had put away earlier from his own pocket.
Waving the three rolls of cash in front of the boy's face, Luke threw one back to the boy.
"Look, I'm a man of my word." He pointed the gun at the boy's head. "I've paid you what you promised."
Although his life was in danger, the boy couldn't help but look at the remaining two rolls of cash.
Luke sighed. "This is your punishment. A deal that was supposed to be worth twelve hundred dollars has been reduced to four hundred dollars. Does it hurt? "
Luke was satisfied to see the regret in the boy's eyes.
Regret was also a punishment, and it was an unforgettable feeling.
Luke tapped the boy's head with the gun. "Maybe the next four hundred dollars will be your friends', and you won't have to use it."
With that, he turned around and walked out of the woods.
The boys watched him disappear before they all looked at the cash in the boy's hand. They all felt their hearts ache. That was three rolls of cash! Now, there was only one roll. That was the cash!
Noticing his friends' gazes, the boy roared angrily, "Didn't we do this before? Also, he asked about those people. Why didn't you tell him earlier? "
All the children trembled and lowered their heads in silence.
The boy grew uneasy after he said that. 8)
