    Ryan stood outside the warehouse door, surveying the five men.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    As far as he knew, Dn was the most powerful of them all. He appeared to be the boss, directing


    several other men to move the boxes. Several of the other men appeared to be junkies and were


    skinny in a weird way.


    Dn turned to Ryan and asked, “What’s taking you so long to use the restroom? Come help us move


    our stuff. You mentioned earlier that you wanted to empty this warehouse, didn’t you?”


    Ryan nodded and approached them. Dn muttered, perplexed, “What exactly is going on? Why are


    you willing to assist us today?”


    After carrying a box of stuff, Ryan stood in the back of the van, surveying the contents. He believed the


    drugs could put them in prison for the rest of their lives.


    Then Dn said to all of them, “Tom said we’re going to sell all this s**t before Christmas. Then, we’ll


    make a new vacation batch to sell next year. Think of all the money we’ll make, dudes! “


    Everyone nodded excitedly and then continued to move the boxes. At the same time, Ryan saw a lot of


    drug-making tools, such as test tubes and measuring cups in the corner.


    While calcting how much money these people could make out of the drugs, he heard Emily’s voice


    in his headphones, “Where are you?”


    Ryan had signaled Emily five minutes before, but she had not responded. He assumed that the group


    had previously blocked all of the signals of the area. (324 What If! Die il


    “I’m at the warehouse, but there are people in here,” he said quickly, lowering his voice.


    “Hold on, I’ll be right there,” Emily said right away.


    Then Dn tapped Ryan on the shoulder and asked, “Who are you talking to?”


    Ryan immediately began to think, attempting toe up with a usible exnation for himself. Then


    he heard someone shout from the bathroom, “Ah! Mr. Gilbert is lying in the restroom!”


    Ryan shook off Dn’s hand and stabbed the knife deep into his stomach before Dn could react.


    Dn screamed in pain, then squatted down and covered his stomach. The guys quickly realized Ryan


    was their enemy and rushed towards him.


    One man said, “s**t! We can’t let this guy leave here alive.”


    Hearing that, all five men pounced at Ryan like crazy.


    Ryan was an exceptionally gifted student. But, as Emily pointed out, he was terrible at fighting. As a


    result, when he saw the group of men approaching him, he immediately searched in his pockets for the


    powder he had brought with him.


    Before leaving, he had taken a small amount of allergy powder from theb. Although the medicine


    would not work as quickly, it would cause pain in these people’s eyes.


    To his surprise, he didn’t find it. Then he remembered that he had just


    is jacket on Mr Gilbert for fear that he would freeze to death in the


    At that critical moment, he heard several shots from the southeaster of the warehouse. He then


    quickly covered his head with his hands and knelt on the ground. 324 What If | Die ol


    The man who had just hit him was kicked and fell to the ground. Then he struggled and covered his


    arm in pain.


    When Ryan looked up, Emily’s leather boots were stomping on the man’s face. She appeared to be the


    actual hero.


    Emily turned to him and asked, “Ryan, are you okay?”


    Ryan shook his head and stood up slowly, holding on to the box next to him. Soon, the two group


    members pointed guns at the men and Mr. Gilbert and had them crouched in the corner.


    “Is everything here?” Emily asked, looking at the paper boxes in the van’s rear.


    “Yes, | saw boxes like this thest time | was here,” Ryan replied.


    Emily drew her saber and unwrapped a box, but she froze when she realized what was inside. She


    found that there were a lot of children’s watches there.


    Ryan frowned, unpacked several more cartons andter flipped them all over, He found that it was all


    filled with children’s watches.


    Emily stared at him in disbelief, speechless.


    Ryan threw down the box, took up the knife, and headed towards the cowering men in the corner.


    “Where’s the stuff?” he said, tightening his grasp on Dn’s cor.


    Dn asked in surprise, “What are you talking about? What is it? “


    Ryan pped him and yelled, “Don’t try to fool me! Where’s the meth?


    Dn was astonished and asked, “What? The meth? We would never, ever deal drugs. We are just


    law-abiding citizens.” “Damn!”


    As Ryan was about to hit him again, Emily stopped him and asked ‘324 What If | Die wal Dn, “Are


    you guys really toy sellers? Then, why did you run when you saw us just now? Besides, | doubt a toy


    retailer could afford to rent a warehouse here.”


    Joan Group’s warehouse was located on the city’s east side and near the city center. The warehouse


    was quite expensive to rent and was exclusively for the group. They would not have been able to rent


    such a costly warehouse if it hadn’t been for Mr. Gilbert. Furthermore, no one would store worthless


    toys in such a warehouse.


    Dn gave Emily a hesitant nce before saying, “I swear to God, youngdy, this business is all


    about toys, if you don’t believe me, | can break it and show you.”


    Emily nodded her head. However, her instincts told her that something was definitely wrong with these


    watches.


    Dn then approached the van and then opened a random box. He took a watch from it, unscrewed


    the back cover, and presented it to Emily and Ryan.


    ‘■Look, it’s just a regr watch!” he eximed


    Ryan had just neared it when he noticed a glittering light ahead of him. At that critical moment, Emily


    shoved him aside before he could react.


    He was surprised when he heard Emily’s muted grunt of pain. Despite appearing to be in considerable


    pain, she took the knife from Dn’s grip and kicked him to the ground.


    Following that, Dn was shackled by members of their group.


    Concerned, Ted asked Emily, “Are you okay?”


    Emily nodded her head, but sweat soon dripped from her brow. She clutched her stomach wound


    tightly. Ryan immediately noticed blood

    shouted in panic.


    “Emily!”


    Ryan instantlyid Emily on his back and told the other two group members, “Okay, I’ll leave this to


    you. There’s clearly something wrong with this stuff, so please take it to school for testing. I’m going to


    take her to the hospital.”


    Emily had always been a tough young girl. She felt the bumps on Ryan’s back, chuckled, and said,


    “Don’t worry, I’m just fine. Look, | was just stabbed. During my training, I’ve been harmed far worse.”


    Ryan gasped, then ran faster and said, “Shut up. You were hurt in training because of training, but this


    time you were hurt because of me. That is not the same thing.”


    “Ryan, what if | die? “


    Ryan’s face quickly became pale, and he asked in a panic, “What? You just said you were fine! “


    Emily’s voice was bing increasingly quiet. She responded, “I’m just kidding, don’t worry.”
