By the time Sophie got back to the Minton residence, it was already past midnight. The ce was buzzing withmotion. Angelo was anxiously tugging at Colby, saying, "Oh,e on! Sophie''s got a guardian angel watching over her! And Mr. Odie went too, right? "Exactly, exactly! No harm wille to them!" Sandy chimed in, cing herself in front of Colby. Even though just a nce from Colby''s eyes sent shivers down her spine, seeing her brother stepping up, she couldn''t back down.


    They''re


    invincible!"


    "Move!" Colby, dressed in a white shirt with the sleeves slightly rolled up, his face pale, was about to shake off these two persistent people when Sophie''s voice cut through the chaos: "Colby!"


    The instant Colby heard Sophie, the ferocity in his eyes vanished. When Angelo and Sandy saw Sophie and Odie walk in together, they both let out a sigh of relief.


    They''re back! Finally back! They were almost unable to hold him back any longer! Aren''t sick people supposed to be weak? Howe Colby, even poisoned and ill, had the strength of an ox? Angelo wiped the sweat off his brow. No wonder he had been a force to reckon with abroad! It wasn''t without reason.


    "What happened? Are you hurt anywhere?" Colby anxiously checked Sophie for injuries, but she shook her head. "I''m not hurt at all."


    Odie, following leisurely, added, "With me there, she couldn''t be harmed."


    Colby, still tense, retorted, "This happened on your turf. You owe me an exnation."


    Odie, with a cold expression, replied, "I was nning to investigate before you said that. Now, I don''t feel like it."


    "I could dismantle the Minton family, believe it or not?"


    "Still so defiant even with poison in your system, Colby, you really are something." The atmosphere between the two men instantly turned tense. Angelo quietly pulled Sandy back, whispering, "I think the next scene might not be suitable for kids. Maybe we should leave?"


    "Leave? Why leave? This is going to be so much fun." Sandy suddenly got excited. She had always heard that Odie and Colby were


    archenemies. A fight between them would be incredibly entertaining!


    "Oh dear, seeking fun over life, what kind of people are these!" Angelo wanted to bolt, but with Sandy there, he had no choice but to stay put, braving it out.


    “It''s been a while since I''ve had a good fight. Let''s do it now." Colby flexed his wrists, and Odie immediately took off his jacket, saying, "Alright! Bring it on!"


    "Wait, wait!" Angelo wanted toThis text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    intervene, but before he could, Sophie pped the back of Colby''s head, saying, "A fight? You''re injured, and you want to fight? Wait till you''re healed, then you can fight all you want!"


    "..." Colby''s eyes immediately cleared, losing the sharp edge they had moments before.


    "Upstairs! Bedtime!" Sophie''s words were like an emperor''s decree, and Colby obediently followed her upstairs. Odie frowned. They''re leaving? Just like that?


    "Colby! Are you even a man? If you are,e down and fight me!" Hearing Odie''s taunts from behind, Colby simply waved dismissively without turning around, showing no interest in fighting.


    "Boss..." Jonah struggled to keep a straight face. This Colby, feared abroad, turned out to bepletely whipped.
