"I''m sorry then."


    Sophie''s words seemed to confuse Logan, and just a momentter, chaos erupted outside the cell.


    While the mercenaries were still caught off guard, Sophie and Colby had already started taking action against the mercenaries on either side. Meanwhile, Jenna and Adler, who rushed in from outside, quickly had their own team surround the mercenaries at the scene.


    "Freeze!"


    Jenna''s gun was already pointed at Logan.


    "Tell all your men to back off!"


    Jenna''smanding tone grated on Logan, but heplied with her demand.


    "I''ve been cooped up for way too long!"


    Jenna nced around and said, "Mr. Logan, right? We''re leaving with our people. Got any problems with that?"


    "Looks like... you were ready for this."


    "Obviously!"


    Jenna made a move as if she was about to go after Logan.


    Sophie, not too far away, was startled and immediately yelled, "Jenna! Don''t kill him!"


    Jenna paused, "Why not? He''s one of the bad guys!"


    "...He saved me once. Consider this me sparing his life."


    Sophie''s eyes met Logan''s.


    Logan stayed quiet.


    "In a moment like this, and you''re still worrying about honor and integrity!" Adler said, clearly itching to finish off Logan.


    Sophie got more anxious but tried to keep her cool. "Let''s keep things separate. Next time I see him, I won''t hold back." Jenna, though not thrilled, had to let Logan go.


    Sophie spoke to Logan, clearly and


    firmly, "I''m letting you go, but go back and tell The Silent Shadows that the feud between our four families and Odie''s vengeance is far from over. Even if it takes everything, I''ll fight to the bitter end."


    "Alright, I admire your courage, Ms. Sophie."


    Logan raised his hand, and the mercenaries with him followed as he left. The prison suddenly felt eerily calm, as if nothing had happened. "Sophie! You two nearly gave me a heart attack!"


    Jenna rushed over, checking Sophie for injuries, and after confirming she was okay, she finally rxed. "Next time you two hatch a n, could you give us a heads up? We''ve been worried sick these past few days, scared you might really get separated!"


    "Exactly!" Adler chimed in. "You wouldn''t believe how restless we''ve been, barely sleeping, snapping at everything! You should''ve clued us in on your n earlier. Like today, if we hadn''t shown up, you might''ve been in real trouble!" "But... how did you guys end up here?"Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    To keep Jenna and Adler safe, Sophie hadn''t told them anything. She thought maybe Colby had tipped them off, but it didn''t seem like it from his expression.


    Jenna exined, "News of your


    Pet


    capture spread fast, with rumors flying that you were wanted for murder. The Silent Shadows were clearly using you to bait Odie into a trap! But James intercepted the news, filled us in on the situation, and pleaded for our help. That''s why we came!"


    "James?"


    Sophie was surprised, her eyes drifting to Colby to catch his reaction.


    Even though Colby''s face didn''t give much away, his eyes told a different story, full of jealousy.


    Adler immediately picked up on the obvious tension.
