Chapter 442 Without Them
Pearl pursed her lips and raised her voice. "Yes. Is that okay?"
She asked one last time.
Giovanni remembered Louis's instructions and nodded. "Go ahead. Who are you looking for?"
Pearl replied, "Someone named Barbara and Adrian, one female and one male."
Ideally, she'd search for them herself, but the black card she had didn't grant that level of access.
She wasn't sure about Giulia's stance, but Giovanni could probably help.
"You go back first. If there's any news, I'll let you know."
"Thank you," Pearl said gratefully.
She wasn't in charge here, and regardless of Giovanni's role or who he worked for, she needed his help right now.
Giovanni was taken aback. He'd been here a long time, with countless people cursing him daily, yet Pearl was sincerely thanking him.
Suddenly, a respectful male voice interrupted. "Giovanni, a new batch of slaves just arrived. Do you want to go and select some now?"
Giovanni snapped back to reality and said, "I'll go take a look."
In less than two minutes, the new slaves, all too thin and in poor condition, were lined up in front of Giovanni.
However, Giovanni noticed Lorenzo Bianchi in the last row. He was tall, standing at 6 feet 3 inches.
Lorenzo's features were ordinary, but he looked quite normal.
"What's your name?" Giovanni asked.
Lorenzo, being called out, responded hoarsely, "My name is Lorenzo."
"Throw the others into Area B, and take Lorenzo to Area A," Giovanni commanded. Lorenzo was immediately escorted away.
During the entire process, Lorenzo kept observing his surroundings.
Pearl returned to the female slave area.
She was given special treatment. Giulia even arranged a small private compartment for her. But Pearl protested, "Bring Chiara over, or I won't accept any of these arrangements."
This wasn't special treatment but isolation.
What she really wanted was to know all the information here, and she couldn't do that without someone by her side.
Since Pearl made the request, the guards didn't dare to disobey.
After all, Giulia had specifically instructed them.
Soon, Chiara was brought over. The moment she saw Pearl, Chiara's eyes lit up. "You actually have a black card!"
Pearl noticed Chiara's expression and asked, "What does it do?"
The black card indeed brought her privileges, but she sensed that Chiara knew something more.
Chiara said, "The black card is a symbol of status. Those who can come and go freely here have this black card. You're a good person. Please take me out of here."
Chiara's eyes filled with tears, and she looked desperate.
With the black card, no one would dare stop them. As long as she could escape this place, even if she only lived for one more day, she would be willing.
She was truly terrified of the torment!
Chiara's desire to live was incredibly strong at this moment. She was only fifteen, and it was natural for someone her age to want to survive.
RavenWing, the creator of this place, was a devil!
"I can get you out, but I need help. How long have you been here?" Pearl asked, placing a hand on Chiara's shoulder.
Pearl's expression was sincere. She had her reasons for protecting Chiara.
Chiara replied, "I've been here a long time. I'm immune to certain drugs. Sometimes I'm scared because I've seen too much death."
"I understand. Have you heard of someone named Barbara?"
Pearl needed to find Barbara and Adrian to ensure their safety.
Chiara shook her head. "Only Giulia knows everyone's name. We're thrown in here and subjected to endless experiments. We don't get to talk."
Pearl fell silent. Asking Giovanni earlier seemed like the right move.
"Did you come here to find someone?" Chiara asked, catching on.
Pearl nodded softly. "Yes, but not entirely. If we can cooperate well..."
Before Pearl could finish, Chiara interrupted, "What cooperation? Just take me out with the black card, and we'll leave. Do you want to blow this place up?"
Pearl was stunned. "How could that be possible?"
She just wanted to say that if Barbara and Adrian were here, she'd do whatever it took to get them out.
As they talked, a cough sounded nearby.
Chiara's face changed, and she fell silent.
Pearl noticed Giovanni standing at the door.
Giovanni's sharp gaze fell on Chiara. "Get back to where you came from!"
This room was prepared specifically for Pearl. Chiara was just a slave and didn't deserve such treatment.
Pearl pulled Chiara behind her. "I asked her to come over."
Giovanni pursed his lips. After a few seconds, he said, "I just asked Giulia. Neither she nor I have the people you're looking for."
'Not here? How could that be! The message left by Adrian was a clue, and Barbara was clearly taken by RavenWing's people. I also learned that those captured by RavenWing were sent here as slaves!'
If their names weren't on the list, what should she do?
Pearl clenched her palm. "Giovanni, can you let me search the slave camp?" Maybe they were brought here under different names.
Giovanni didn't expect Pearl to make such a request, which exceeded what Louis had instructed him.
Giovanni said, "I can't agree. I need to consult Mr. Mitchell first."
He took out his phone and made a call in front of Pearl.
When the call connected, he spoke clearly, "Mr. Mitchell, the woman named Pearl wants to check the whole slave camp."
Louis stared at a painting in front of him, his thin lips slowly moving. "Let her in."
"Yes, Mr. Mitchell."
After responding, Giovanni followed the order and took Pearl to the slave camp.
As soon as Pearl entered, she noticed Lorenzo in the corner.
