composition. While we didn’t find any unfamiliar faces coming from Adrune during this period, we did get our hands on some of Adrune’s drugs. It’s relatively rare in this area, so we followed the lead and found some information. However, the information is so meager that I’m not sure if this is useful to you at all.”“I understand.” Winnie nodded. “Continue.”“We continued to investigate those Adrune drugs and found a name. Or perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it’s a codename—Big Black Bear. Sadly, we couldn’t find out what they look like, how old they are, or if they are even a man or woman. Don’t bother asking us about their tracks. We couldn’t find any.” “Very good!” Just hearing the words “Big Black Bear” was enough for Winnie to know that her employment 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
