Chapter 1942 Mr Carrerra


    Elisa pulled Rachel away, preventing her from confronting that person directly.


    Pulling Rachel behind her, Elisa curved her lips into a never-changing polite smile.


    “Mr. Carrerra, it''s been a long time.”


    It was none other than Mr. Carrerra.


    Ever since he was driven out of the supermarket previously, Mr. Carrerra hadn''t shown up for quite a


    while.


    Perhaps it was because, amidst all the unexpected developments, there had never been an opportunity


    to meet.


    Elisa was somewhat surprised to run into Mr. Carrerra out of the blue, but more than that, she was


    apprehensive.


    Mr. Carrerra also smiled. The mysterious light twinkling in his eyes was enough to send chills down


    one''s spine.


    “Ms. Bt, there shouldn''t be any police this time, right?”


    Elisa knew that Mr. Carrerra was referring to the incident at the supermarket previously.


    She didn''t expect this person to hold a grudge.


    Elisa chuckled, her response devoid of both humility and arrogance. “Mr. Carrerra, you must be jesting.


    If someone conducts themselves with integrity, why would the police persistently pursue them?”


    Mr. Carrerra''s face turned somewhat gloomy, and he stared at Elisa without uttering a word.


    Rachel gave Elisa''s hand a gentle squeeze, to which thetter responded by patting her back, silently


    conveying strength.


    Elisa subtly moved half a step back, whispering so that only the two of them could hear, “Don''t be


    frightened. When I divert his attention, seize the opportunity to escape.”

    Rachel shook her head, her gaze resolute.


    “No. What will you do if I leave?”


    Elisa frowned. “Now is not the time for loyalty. If you manage to escape, you can still ry messages to


    Gareth. However, if both of us are apprehended, when will Gareth ever find out?”


    Even Elisa herself was unaware that in moments like these, the person she ced her trust in first


    wasn''t the police, but Gareth.


    After all, if Mr. Carrerra could discreetly enter the café, it indicated that the police''s control over him was


    futile.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t dare to appear there so openly.


    Upon hearing these words, Rachel no longer persisted.


    She knew that what Elisa was saying was the truth, but...


    Mr. Carrerra and Elisa remained locked in a tense standoff when, all of a sudden, Mr. Carrerra burst


    intoughter, augh that carried an eerie undertone.


    “You make a valid point,” he said, “but there''s one aspect I can''t quite agree with.”


    Seeing that he had no intention of being rough, Elisa patiently and respectfully responded, saying,


    “Please enlighten me, Mr. Carrerra.”


    Mr. Carrerra raised an eyebrow. “Those unafraid of the police might not always conduct themselves


    with integrity, engaging in inconsistent behavior and even resorting to theft...” Mr. Carrerra''s voice


    trailed off, and his gaze toward Elisa held a mixture of a smile and a smirk. “Ms. Bt, do you concur


    with my assessment?”


    Rochel shook her heod, her goze resolute.


    “No. Whot will you do if I leove?”


    Eliso frowned. “Now is not the time for loyolty. If you monoge to escope, you con still reloy messoges to


    Goreth. However, if both of us ore opprehended, when will Goreth ever find out?”


    Even Eliso herself wos unowore thot in moments like these, the person she ploced her trust in first


    wosn''t the police, but Goreth.


    After oll, if Mr. Correrro could discreetly enter the cofé, it indicoted thot the police''s control over him wos


    futile.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t dore to oppeor there so openly.


    Upon heoring these words, Rochel no longer persisted.


    She knew thot whot Eliso wos soying wos the truth, but...


    Mr. Correrro ond Eliso remoined locked in o tense stondoff when, oll of o sudden, Mr. Correrro burst


    into loughter, o lough thot corried on eerie undertone.


    “You moke o volid point,” he soid, “but there''s one ospect I con''t quite ogree with.”


    Seeing thot he hod no intention of being rough, Eliso potiently ond respectfully responded, soying,


    “Pleose enlighten me, Mr. Correrro.”


    Mr. Correrro roised on eyebrow. “Those unofroid of the police might not olwoys conduct themselves


    with integrity, engoging in inconsistent behovior ond even resorting to theft...” Mr. Correrro''s voice


    troiled off, ond his goze toword Eliso held o mixture of o smile ond o smirk. “Ms. Bt, do you concur


    with my ossessment?”


    Elisa''s face turned pale when she realized that Mr. Carrerra was alluding to the earlier altercation over


    the Ganoderma Caligo.


    Elisa was innocent, but she recognized that this wasn''t the moment for a confrontation. Her foremost


    objective was to cate Mr. Carrerra''s emotions.


    No one was aware of whether he had brought any weapons or how many individuals he had brought


    along with him.


    If she wasn''t cautious, everyone present could be ced in jeopardy.


    Elisa was not impulsive, and she certainly wasn''t someone who would make light of the lives of so


    many people.


    Elisa chuckled a few times and then responded with a question. “Mr. Carrerra, you''re known for your


    directness, so why don''t we get straight to the point? What has brought you here today? If it''s for a


    meal, consider it my treat.”


    Mr. Carrerra sneered, “My reason for being here...” He paused, his gaze turning cold as it fixed on


    Elisa, akin to a vulture in the wilderness locking onto its prey.


    “What could my intentions be, you ask? I merely want to extend an invitation for both of you to visit my


    abode and have a chat. I''ve heard that Ms. Bt had a close call recently, and I''m intrigued to learn


    about your adventures during this time.”
