The streets of Duskhaven were bustling with people, and Sophie felt her body jostle with the movement of the vehicle. As she groggily opened her eyes, a gust of cold air hit her, sending shivers down her spine.


    The moment those two men had sprayed her, she''d instinctively held her breath but still identally inhaled a bit of the sedative. Fortunately, she woke up quickly, and she could think of a way to escape. The vehicle''s rumbling, and the dwindling sound of other cars indicated she was indeed in a vehicle, moving away from the city center of Duskhaven.


    Soon, Sophie caught a whiff of the faint, briny scent of the sea from outside the vehicle, alerting her instantly.


    The seaside? What were these two nning by taking her to the seaside?


    Sophie tried to free her hands tied with rope, but her eyes were blindfolded, leaving her unaware of her surroundings. A man''s voice then broke the silence, "We''re almost there. Let''s stop here." "She''s quite a looker, how unfortunate."


    The car screeched to a halt, and Sophie tried to calm her racing heart as the two men lifted her out of the car.


    Her hands and feet were bound, her mouth sealed with tape, and her eyes covered with a ck cloth. Hearing the sound of the waves, Sophie guessed she was at the Duskhaven docks where she and Odie had arrived the night before.


    ''Ding ding-


    At that moment, Jake''s phone rang, and noticing it was a call from his boss, he quickly answered, "Mark, Mark, why are you calling me?"


    "Cut the chatter, where are you?"


    "I... I''ve got a job, currently at the docks..."mJake couldn''t finish his sentence before the phone went silent.


    Ricky, standing beside him, pointed at Jake''s phone. "Your phone''s dead..."


    Jake looked at his phone, realizing the battery was dead. "Damn it!"


    Jake, frustrated, shoved the phone into his pocket, then said to Ricky, "Just dump her into the sea. We''ll charge the phone and apologize to Markter!" Dump her into the sea?


    They wanted her dead? Who exactly was after her life?This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    As Sophie pondered, Jake agreed, "Alright!"


    While speaking, Jake and Ricky lifted Sophie up.


    Sophie felt the two men step onto the sandy beach and heard the distant sound of a ship docking. She suddenly struggled.


    "Ricky!"


    The two men were apparently taken by surprise at Sophie''s


    consciousness and immediately dropped her onto the sand. Her back hit the ground hard, causing her to gasp in pain.


    Jake fiercely kicked her. "Damn it!"


    "Mmph!"


    Sophie struggled on the surface but managed to get a piece of a broken beer bottle in the sand with her hands tied behind her. It wasn''t unusual to find broken beer bottle pieces in the sand at the docks.


    Rickymented, "I think she wants to talk."


    "Nonsense! Of course, she wants to talk!" Jake smacked Ricky on the head, motioning to hurry and put her in a sack.


    While the two men


    e distracted


    talking, Sophie managed to cut through the ropes that were binding her hands with the sharp edge of the beer bottle piece.


    As Ricky approached Sophie, she suddenly headbutted him.
