Everyone instinctively averted their gazes.


    Such scenes had be all toomon.


    Sophie smiled and said, "Don''t worry about me." "I know."


    "I''ll be back soon."


    "I''ll be waiting."


    Colby ran his fingers through Sophie''s hair.


    Sophie smiled back.


    Finally, she and Jonah entered the dense forest one after the other.


    Watching this, Jenna couldn''t help but show a look of concern on her face.


    Who knows... what might happen to them once they''re inside.


    "Jenna, don''t worry. Even if Reece is a traitor, he wouldn''t hurt Sophie."


    "How can you be so sure? You can never know what''s in a person''s heart. What if Reece turns out to be a viin?"


    If he wasn''t a viin, why would he betray his friends?


    Jenna knew how much Sophie trusted Reece.


    Two years of friendship, they had weathered life and death situations together at S Corporation.


    It was a bond forged in the fires of adversity.


    As the two of them silently prayed, Adler''s peripheral vision suddenly caught Colby heading towards the forest.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Colby! Where are you going?"


    "Colby!"


    Jenna''s face went pale.


    Sophie had just been talking to him, and now he suddenly ran off?


    "Stop trying, you can''t hold him back."


    Harold had known all along that Colby wouldn''t let Sophie go into danger alone.


    He would definitely follow her stealthily.


    After all, the agreed meeting ce was three miles away; even if Sophie set off fireworks immediately, they might not be able to get there in time. Colby was undoubtedly worried about Sophie''s safety, which is why he followed her.


    The situation in the dense forest wasplicated. Sophie and Jonah hadn''t walked many steps inside before Sophie could no longer see what was happening behind them.

    Logically, the paths in these undeveloped mountainous areas should be rugged and have many forks.


    But from the moment they entered, Sophie noticed that there was only one path, albeit narrower, but clearly indicating there was a way forward.


    At that moment, Sophie took out thepass she carried with her.


    Thepass worked outside the mountain, but as soon as they stepped in, the maic field became chaotic.


    Sophie had encountered this situation once before, during the search for the Aldridge family''s relocation site.


    She had guessed that the Aldridge family had created an artificial maic disturbance, but this time it might not be the case.


    "Ms. Sophie, we are just five hundred meters away from the designated location."


    Hearing this distance, Sophie was stunned: "Only five hundred meters?"


    They had been walking for about thirty minutes, and Sophie thought they must have covered at least a kilometer, but it turned out to be only five hundred meters.


    "When we entered, I counted our steps. In this half-hour, we took about seven thousand steps, but indeed, we have only covered five hundred meters from our target location."  en


    The dense forest blocked out the sun, and Jonah looked at the time, saying, "By my estimate, it will be dark in two hours. We have to find the designated location within these two hours, Ms. Sophie. Can you keep up?"


    "No problem."


    Jonah nced at Sophie by his side. Compared to men, women indeed tend to have less physical strength.


    The road conditions here were poor, and the physical exertion was astonishing.


    Jonah fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Ms. Sophie, thank you."
