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.
"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."
