Chapter 2846

Joshua was silent for a moment.

Even though he, too, did not want to hurt Luke's ego...

"I guess you don't have to say anything anymore." Luke raised his hand to touch his forehead in a defeated manner. "I can't believe it-my reputation's all gone."

To everyone else, Luke had always been the ruthless and invincible gangster, one whose dignity would never be challenged. Even his death was a chosen one-he willingly sacrificed himself for the woman he loved, as opposed to dying due to illness or combat.

However, he never thought that after his death, his subordinates would eventually find out he had been tricked out of his life...

The reputation he had so carefully built up over these years was destroyed.

Luke was so humiliated that he could not help willing for the ground beneath him to open up and swallow him whole right that instant.

"Not only did they find out, but they were even determined to come over to Saigen City and take revenge on the Miller and Hughes families," Thomas could not help adding. "They couldn't bear seeing their leader being tricked like this, so they were determined to make the culprits pay the price.

"Unfortunately, Saigen City is too far away from both Sea City and Merchant City. Even if your subordinates had come, they wouldn't be able to adapt to the weather conditions here anyway, but most importantly, Saigen City belongs to the Miller and Hughes families. No matter how many of them come, they won't stand a chance against the gangsters here.

"Therefore, Joshua and I managed to persuade them to give up on their plans. Instead, they agreed to send Jim's brother, Sean, over here to check on Steven and see whether you were doing well."

Luke furrowed his brow when he heard this. He turned to glance at Thomas as though he wanted to say something, but after a moment, he heaved a sigh and decided to stay quiet instead.

"Don't worry." Joshua patted his shoulder reassuringly. "Your subordinates never once laughed at your demise. Instead, they were so outraged by this that they wanted to avenge your death. "Even though they were worried about you, they still had their wits about them. After Thomas, Jim, and I analyzed the situation at hand for them, they were willing to accept the truth and put things into our hands." Luke nodded and heaved another sigh. You can't deny that my men...are extremely kind and reasonable people."

Luke, too, had fought tooth and nail, like his men, to climb to the top of the food chain, so he knew exactly what they were going through.

"Listen." He took out his phone and handed it to Joshua. "Help me take a video and show it to them." Joshua hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

He pulled up the phone's camera function, and as he did so, he could not help sighing. "If I show them this video, Jim and I will have to go through the extra trouble of explaining to them that you've now become a split personality of Steven's mind..."

"Is that very troubling to you?" Luke snickered but did not show any intention of changing his mind. "Well, I'm sorry to trouble you then, and thanks for your help in advance."

Joshua curled his lips into a defeated smile and proceeded to record the video as Luke instructed. Behind them, Gwen watched quietly as Luke spoke to the camera, a small smile playing on her lips.

Back when she first lost Luke, she had been so consumed by the thought of having him back that she was willing to do anything, even at the expense of Steven's life.

However, Luke finally returned, and it was as though his appearance was the cure to her anxiety. She was no longer engulfed by the thoughts of losing him anymore.

No matter what happened, she was more than grateful to be able to see him again, even if it was just once.

After finishing the recording, Luke let out an exhale and strode over to Gwen's side. "Now that I'm done with that, the remainder of my time belongs to you. Shall we go out for a stroll?"
