Not long after, Luke's people arrived. His assistant stepped in first, accompanied by several men who clearly came to provide protection.
The moment Luke had asked to be picked up from a hospital, the assistant had already guessed that something serious had happened. Without needing further explanation, he brought extra men along, just in case.
"Boss, we've arrived," the assistant said, bowing slightly to Luke. The men behind him followed suit, each offering the same quiet show of respect.
The soldier standing a step behind Luke immediately understood that these were likely members of Luke's mafia faction. As their boss, such deference was only natural.
Seeing that Luke was now surrounded by more than enough men to ensure his safety, the soldier realized his presence was no longer necessary. Though none of the men appeared to be carrying weapons openly, he had no doubt they were armed. Men like these never moved without concealed guns and blades hidden beneath their suits.
