As expected, Flossie Wright’s calm demeanor indeed piqued his curiosity.
It wasn’t anything else, he just wanted to see if she was bluffing or if she truly had a trump card.
Honestly...

The knife wound really hurt.
It hurt so much that he wanted to chop this woman into pieces.
But, on the surface, he remained composed.
"You win," sweat densely appeared on his forehead, yet Gavin’s smile only deepened, and he even gentlemanly gestured towards Flossie Wright to where the phone was placed, "Please go ahead."
Flossie Wright followed the direction Gavin pointed.
There was a small table there.
The phone was placed on it.
However, it was certain that the phone didn’t belong to Gavin either.
She put a military knife back, but her right hand still held a tactical knife, clearly indicating she couldn’t relax her guard against Gavin in the slightest.
As she walked over, Flossie gave Gavin a special glance.
He leaned against the bed, his expression entirely cold for a moment, but soon enough, that peculiar smile returned.
Flossie had reason to believe that if she hadn’t immediately used the topic of "trade" to attract Gavin’s attention after retreating, she would probably have already been in a tough fight with Gavin by now.
Furrowing her brows, Flossie maintained her vigilance as she headed straight for the phone.
An old-fashioned phone, not produced in Eastlandia, but it was in Chinese, likely left by those who had been active here for many years.
Without money to use, and unable to contact Glenn Hutchinson for the moment, Flossie’s first thought was Perry Reed.
Originally—
Even if she could reach Glenn Hutchinson, Flossie would have thought of Perry Reed first.
In her previous life, whenever Erina Taylor mentioned Gavin, her first thought was Perry Reed.
After all, the person most related to Gavin was Perry Reed, even though the two had no real connection or friendship.
Without hesitation, Flossie directly dialed Perry Reed’s number.
Isolated for more than two months, she hadn’t been able to contact Perry Reed, unsure of how he was doing recently, though he ought to be out of the hospital by now.
Soon, she heard Perry Reed’s cold, impatient voice.
"It’s me." Flossie spoke in a low voice.
There was a slight pause, as if a bit surprised, Perry Reed then asked, "Where did the number come from?"
"What?" Flossie raised an eyebrow.
"A number from West Hare." Perry Reed seemed to explain with confusion.
Originally, since Flossie constantly changed numbers and contacted him in various ways, Perry Reed would generally answer any unfamiliar numbers, keeping his phone on 24/7, but upon seeing this strange number...
He answered it purely out of boredom.
"Oh, just picked it up." Flossie perfunctorily explained.
Soon, not hearing Perry Reed continue, Flossie tilted her head slightly, glanced at Gavin, and asked with raised brows, "How much?"
The price to get Gavin out, Flossie hadn’t really inquired about.
With arms crossed, Gavin looked at her with a half-smile, vaguely saying, "That depends on you."
Flossie paused slightly.
She could guarantee that the cost to get Gavin to come in person was definitely no less than what it took for Erina Taylor to take action.
If the price was quoted too high, Flossie would feel bad for Perry Reed.
