Chapter 419 Don't Shoot

Venom Roses, spread all over the mountains and fields, once processed into finished products, were all money.

No wonder Ezra was so extravagant as soon as he appeared in River City, in his case, what he lacked the least was money.

"This is not the largest plantation, the largest one is being run by Mr. Butcher," Marguerite said with a hint of pride. "However, I heard that Mr. Butcher is getting old and plans to pass all his businesses to you in the future. With your abilities, I'm sure you can make everyone a lot of

money."

I pursed my lips, didn't respond. From my perspective, these things were harmful, but from their point of view, these things were necessary for their survival, just like farmers looking at thriving crops. There were plantations, processing factories, and even sales responsible for all parts of the country. They had a mature business. chain, and even at the border, these things were not prohibited by law. The idea of relying on these things to subdue Ezra was simply a pipe dream.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

Even though it was clear that he was the devil, the weapon to kill him could not be found, which was truly despairing.

Thinking like this, I felt somewhat disheartened. So many people had died along the way. I knew full well how detestable Ezra was, yet I could only be imprisoned here, unable to do anything, unable to escape, just waiting to die. The more I thought about it, the more

desperate I became.

I just wanted to find an opportunity to kill Ezra, but I couldn't even see him, let alone anything else.

A sense of helplessness enveloped me, and I couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

Marguerite, who was following behind me, carefully glanced at me and voiced out, "Ms. Conner, are you alright?"

I shook my head, glancing at the thriving Venom Roses around me. Feeling frustrated, I decided not to look anymore and returned to my room to be alone. "Hiss... Ah!" Just as I was about to leave, a figure suddenly charged towards us. Marguerite and I didn't have time to dodge and were knocked to the ground.

We had barely managed to get up when, before we could even see who had hit us, we saw several strong men hurriedly approaching from not far away.

I glanced subconsciously at the person who had already run into the field full of Venom Rose flowers. Looking at the stumbling figure, I felt a sense of familiarity, but I couldn't recall it at the moment.

Looking back at the people who were chasing after me, I recognized them. They were from Sebastian's crew. Upon seeing me, they didn't say much. The one leading the group looked at me and asked, "Ms. Conner, are you alright?"

I shook my head, looking at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

The man looked towards the person who had already run far away, signaling the people behind him to continue the chase. He looked at me and said, "It's not a big deal."

32.71%%%

After saying that, he also followed to chase.

Marguerite exclaimed, "He could already run."

Clearly, this statement was about the person who had escaped.

Watching the man being chased and running in the field, it suddenly occurred to me, wasn't that the half-dead old man I saw in the dark. room the day Geraldine nearly killed me? Could he run now? Watching Sebastian closely behind, seeing him raise his gun, about to pull the trigger, my mind went blank for a few seconds. Almost without thinking, I shouted, "Don't shoot." "Bang!" The gunshot arrived as expected.

I was taken aback, quickly turning my head to look at the old man

fleeing into the field. Seeing him stumbling and still running towards the endless flower field, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Sebastian's shot hadn't hit him.

Looking back at Sebastian, he didn't seem to be in a hurry even though he hadn't hit anyone. He just put away his gun and said to me, "Good day, Ms. Conner."

I pursed my lips, not intending to give him a pleasant look, ready to leave.

I had only taken a few steps when I suddenly heard a heart-wrenching scream from the ground, "Ah!!”

I was startled and looked up, the fleeing old man had long disappeared from sight. Looking far away, all I could hear was a heart-wrenching

scream.

The sound of Marguerite sighing came to my ears, "To keep outsiders away, the gentleman had sharp saw teeth and mouse traps placed in the
