章 783: A rescue attempt

"You are quite a greedy man," Dora muttered as she overheard the man talking to his partner in crime.

"Of course I am. See, I'm going to become a ghost soon. Gotta make preparations in advance, don't I?" His voice was cold, almost amused by his own twisted logic.

Before he could continue, the doors to the room burst open with a deafening crash. Startled, the man whirled around just in time to see officers flood in, guns drawn. His smug expression vanished, replaced by shock as they swarmed him, pinning him to the ground with swift, practiced precision.

His eyes softened, and without hesitation, he crossed the room in a few long strides.
