Charlie laughed and said, “There is nowhere else Martha can go aside from Mexico now! Martha, oh Martha, you’re finally here!”
Having said that, he asked a soldier from Ten Thousand Armies, “How’s the cleaning outside?”
The man hurriedly replied, “Mr. Wade, we were already cleaning the battlefield before our lord came in. Those corpses have already been moved into the empty room above, and our soldiers are digging the soil inside and outside the courtyard to hide their bodies. The wind is strong tonight, so the smell of blood will dissipate quickly.”
“Great.” Charlie nodded and then spoke up as he said, “After their car enters, arrest them directly and bring them to me!”
The soldier immediately said respectfully, “Understood, Mr. Wade!”

Meanwhile, at the eastern entrance of this Mexican village.
As Kyler drove the car into the village entrance, Martha, Jose, and Heather, who played Kyler’s wife, heaved a sigh of relief simultaneously.
The four of them had traveled non-stop for several days before finally arriving at their destination.
Over the past few days, they had hardly stopped the car except to refuel and buy food and water.
In their opinion, the whole of the United States was dangerous, so the best way was for them to reach Mexico as soon as possible.
Jose, who was seated in the back seat, was a little surprised and asked, “Why are there so many cars? Is everyone from the syndicate here?”
Martha could not help muttering, “Could it be that the boss is here? There would only be such a big scene when he’s here.”
Jose said nervously, “Martha, the boss is making time to come and see us. He will definitely blame us for not being able to do things well...”
Martha gulped, and said with difficulty, “Don’t think so much for now. The goods were detected by customs, and this kind of thing is very normal. If it was so easy to transport the goods out, the price of the goods would naturally not be so high. Why is the price of the goods so expensive? Isn’t it all because of those sunk costs? This is just like building a wooden bridge in the abyss. The wooden bridge is worthless, but the value is in the wooden frame that can support the wooden bridge in the abyss!”
Having said that, she paused for a moment and then said seriously, “Don’t speak casually when we meet the boss later, lest you make more mistakes when you speak. I will talk to him when the time comes. I believe that he will certainly give us another chance!”
