of Mason and Greta wasn’t in vain. “Before you two arrived, I received some news, too. Unfortunately, the information I obtained was more or less the same as what you two found. Aside from that codename, I know nothing else about this person. However, I’m fine with the lack of information so long as I know for sure they’re here. Oh yeah, about the Adrune drugs you mentioned earlier. Where did it initially come from? If we can figure that out, we’ll be able to get a better grasp of Big Black Bear’s whereabouts.”“According to the information we found, the goods came from Lightspring. However, Lightspring is a place with a lot of human traffic, so I can’t be sure if he’s still there or not. At this point, he may not even still be in Jipsdale.”“I understand.” Winnie’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Regardless, there’s no doubt that Lightspring is close to where the three most powerful drug lords in Jipsdale are located, right?”“Yep, there’s no doubt about that.”“That’s good enough for me. I already have a plan. I’ll need you two’s help for what comes next—”Winnie’s sentence was cut short by a loud bang from the neighboring room, startling her.Since she was the only one sitting against the wall at the moment, she was the one who heard the sound the clearest.Mason and Greta were shocked, too. They even went so far as to pull out their guns.“What’s happening?” Greta couldn’t help but ask.In the blink of an eye, Winnie returned to her senses and stood. “The sound came from the room next to this! I think something happened to my husband!”Before the duo could even see her expression and movements, she practically flew out of the room the second she stopped speaking.When the duo arrived at the neighboring room, Winnie was already heading into the bathroom.The showerhead inside the bathroom was still turned on. However, there wasn’t even a bit of warmth in the tiny bathroom. From that, it was obvious the water was cold.The explosion-proof glass used as the shower partition was shattered. There was even blood amidst the glass fragments.As for Xavier, his body was being pressed down on the wet floor by Winnie. He was moving as though he wasn’t in control of his body. His bloodshot eyes certainly strengthened that impression.“Should we… send him to the hospital?” Greta asked. “How did this explosion-proof glass just explode?”“No need! Quickly, help me secure him and move him to the bed!” Winnie was aware the glass hadn’t exploded for no reason.She was certain Xavier had punched the glass when his condition acted up, as evidenced by his bleeding right knuckles.Winnie, Mason, and Greta worked together and quickly brought Xavier to the bed.While Mason wasn’t as tall as Xavier, he was still pretty burly. However, the relapsing Xavier was still plenty strong.It took the combined strength of Mason and Greta to hold Xavier down, just barely.Greta was a woman, so after restricting Xavier for a while as he violently struggled to break free, she swiftly began to feel tired. “What do we do next, Ms. Garland?”“D*mn it! Where are my needles? Why can’t I find them?” As Winnie spoke, she searched through the room.“What needles?”Winnie was in such dismay that she didn’t hear what Greta said.Luckily, realization dawned on her soon enough. Wait! The room I stayed in last night was the one next to this one! All my important luggage is there, not here!Without delay, she bolted to the other room, grabbed her needles, and stabbed them into Xavier’s body.The effect of her acupuncture
