Chapter 474 What Were Your Concerns?
Reason?
I didn’t know how to tell him about the Hinton family’s matter, but I knew in my heart that he would find
out sooner or later.
Weiwei took a slight breath and said, “Apart from the reasons I just mentioned, there’s also that I don’t
want him to go crazy in River City and do things that hurt people.”
“Hurt people?” He raised an eyebrow, squinting, “Are you afraid that he will hurt me?”
I wanted to deny it, but when I met his gaze, I suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Upon seeing this, he furrowed his brows slightly and said, “Tabatha, what exactly are you hiding from
me?”
I paused for a moment, instinctively saying, “What could I possibly hide from you, I was just worried…”
“Tabatha, can you stop treating me like a fool over and over again?” He walked up to me and said,
“When Captain Lucas died, you clearly knew that Daniel was Ezra, but you told me you loved him,
wanted to marry him and leave River City. What excuse are you going to use this time to make me let
you go? Huh?”
I was completely cornered by him, and for a moment, I lost all confidence.
He grabbed my arm, looking at me as he continued, “Tabatha, tell me, what exactly are you afraid of?”

It wasn’t my place to speak about the Hinton family’s affairs. Looking at him, I took a deep breath and
said, “Walter, Ezra can’t stay in River City for too long. The police can’t do anything about him. His
presence in River City is like a ticking time bomb. Do you understand?”
“So, what do you want to do? Trick him into taking you away, allowing this bomb to return to the border
and wreak havoc again?” He looked at me, his face subtly darkening, “Tabatha, do you think you can
find an opportunity to kill him by staying by his side? Where does your confidence come from, thinking
that a weak woman like you can kill a devil with blood on his hands by using your beauty? Huh?”
His questioning left me momentarily speechless. Yes, perhaps Ezra did have feelings for me, but to
him, I was nothing more than a pet that caught his eye. He wanted to possess me simply because he
liked me. His pursuit of me was nothing more than a man’s obsession with his prey. Over time, he
would naturally grow tired of me. I followed him to the border, and the inevitable outcome was that I
would be
discarded like the women they trafficked, sent to other countries for the amusement of Western men.
But there was also another possibility, that I could have killed Ezra before he grew disgusted with me.
Even so, with my strength, it would have been impossible for me to return alive.
Of course, I knew all these outcomes. Yet, even so, I still chose this path. Even if there was only a one
in ten thousand chance, I wanted to take a gamble. My life should have ended five years ago.
Looking at Walter, my conviction grew stronger. I said to him, “Walter, even if there’s only a one in ten
thousand chance, I would still choose this path. You and I both know, as long as Ezra is in River City,
as long as he’s alive, we can’t live in peace.”
Ezra would eventually take action against Walter, it was his disgrace in the Chesterburg sea area, he
couldn’t possibly let it go just like that.

The purpose of his roundabout return was all of us, not just Captain. Lucas, but everyone!
“But what if he’s dead?” Walter spoke, his handsome face darkening, carrying a hint of bloodlust.
I was stunned for a moment, unable to comprehend the meaning of his words for a while, staring at him
blankly.
He looked at me, his dark eyes deep and profound, “Indeed, no one could handle him, but Tabatha,
killing him doesn’t necessarily mean going to the border. People can die in River City too.”
I frowned, froze, not understanding why. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“Wuuu wuuu wuuu…” Suddenly, Walter’s phone started to vibrate.
He let go of me, turned around to answer the phone, probably from Roy. I was too far away to hear
what they were saying, his words from just now still echoing in my mind.
Killing him wasn’t only possible at the border, people could also die in River City.
Suddenly, realizing what he meant, I stared at him with wide eyes.
Walter was on the phone. Seeing me looking at him, he had a calm expression. He said to the person
on the other end of the line, “Hold on, we’ll talk when there’s a chance.”
Afterwards, he hung up the phone.
I looked at him, my voice somewhat hoarse, “Walter, murder is illegal, you know that. We all wanted
him dead, but even so, the police couldn’t touch him. If he died in River City, things would be more
troublesome than we imagined.”

Ezra had another identity, he was a well-known tycoon in Freyhedge. If anything happened to him, the
issues that would be implicated behind the scenes could potentially lead to problems between nations.
Walter raised his hand, rubbed the top of my head, and said with a faint smile, “Don’t worry, I know
what to do.”
I was about to speak when he looked at me and said, “Tabatha, you haven’t told me yet, what exactly is
it that you’re worried about?”
