Chapter 491 I Didn't Guess Wrong

He didn't speak, just kept looking at me.

Of course, I couldn't guess what was going on in his mind, but I was pretty sure that my assumptions were probably correct. Looking at him, I continued, "But you underestimate the police. I can guarantee that you will still be watched today, and it's impossible for you to deliver smoothly."

He furrowed his brows, staring at me intently. After a long pause, he suddenly asked, "Did you figure this out because you overheard it outside the study last night?"

I pursed my lips, saying, "The soundproofing in this house is very good, I didn't hear everything, only a few words. But I know you just harvested mature Venom Rose at the border. Considering the time, you should have almost finished processing it, ready to ship it out. However, I am a bit curious. Given the strong anti-drug efforts in the country, the scrutiny during this period must be tighter than usual. Why did Warren let you come to the country, Ezra? The police are watching you all the time. If there's the slightest disturbance, you'll never be able to return to the border in your lifetime. What awaits you is only endless imprisonment and death. Tell me, would Warren deliberately let you take charge of the domestic situation, let you..."

I didn't say the words that followed, but he definitely understood.

He looked at me, his thin lips curling up, and then suddenly burst into laughter. He said to me, "Stirring up trouble, Tabatha, you really have no boundaries when it comes to seeing Walter."

I scoffed, saying, "There's no comparison with you, you have no bottom line."

He didn't care either, slightly squinting his dark pupils, he said,

"Indeed, your guess is mostly correct. But, so what? If I dare to come, naturally I will be fully prepared. Do you really think I would be foolish enough to trap myself?"

"What if the currency drops and you don't get the money?" I spoke up, staring at him, "Indeed, you can walk away unscathed, but it means. you won't get any money, it would just be a wasted trip." He chuckled, his thin lips curving upward as he looked at me and said, "Perhaps not, I still have you, don't I?"

Trash.

It seemed that there was no way to persuade him to let me see Walter.

I shut up and returned to my bedroom.

However, a few hours later, things took a turn for the better, and Ezra, who had already left, returned.

Not only did he come, but also Sebastian and another man. The man seemed to have been seriously injured, his body was covered in blood, and his face was frighteningly pale.

After Walter had Sebastian lead him into a guest room on the first floor, he found a first aid kit and followed him in.

I stood at the door, watching as Ezra instructed Sebastian to cut away the man's clothes, revealing a bloody, mangled wound. Seeing the dark hole in the man's abdomen, I frowned. It was a gunshot wound. As I expected, it seemed that their transaction had been targeted.

Ezra took the scalpel out of the medicine box, and when I realized he was preparing to remove the bullet from this man himself, I broke out in a cold sweat. He was practically sending him to his death.

Perhaps noticing me, Ezra looked over at me, his voice low as he said, "Go out and close the door."

After speaking, he turned his gaze towards Sebastian.

Sebastian stood up, didn't look at me, and closed the door directly. A few minutes later, I heard a restrained roar, probably from the injured

man.

Imagining the scene inside, I couldn't help but shudder. Removing a bullet with bare hands, this kind of scenario, I had only seen on television.

About an hour later, the door was opened, and Ezra came out, his hands covered in blood. He went straight into the bathroom, and then the sound of running water could be heard.

Sebastian came out, his forehead covered in sweat, and said to me, "Ms. Conner, could you please heat up some water for me?"

I nodded, entered the kitchen, and couldn't help but look at Sebastian. and ask, "Is that person okay?"

Sebastian pursed his lips, his face somewhat pale, and said, "The bullet wasn't deep, it's been removed, but I don't know if he'll survive."

I couldn't help but twitch my mouth corner, his words seemed as if he was talking about an animal, completely disregarding human life.

I handed him the hot water, he thanked me, and then he went in.

Ezra had washed off the blood from his body and came out with only a towel wrapped around his lower half I unintentionally glanced at him, then quickly averted my eyes.

He sat down on the sofa as if nothing had happened, tossed the towel to me and said, "Wipe it for me."

I threw it directly at him, saying indifferently, "No way!"
