"Why are you thanking me?"


    "I know Ms. Sophie brought me here because she understood my concerns about the boss. Otherwise, with my status, I wouldn''t have been able to follow you to meet my boss." Jonah initially had a strong dislike for Sophie, but having spent so much time together, his opinion of her had changed significantly.


    "You''ve already said your thanks. What''s most important now is finding Reece, then figuring out where Odie is."


    Sophie''s tone hesitated before she added, "Also, although I can get you in, I''m not sure we''ll be able to take Odie with us today. Do you understand what I''m saying?"


    "I understand."


    Jonah said gravely, "I have a favor to ask of Ms. Sophie."


    "What is it?"


    "This journey is fraught with danger. The boss is the only family I have in this world. We''ve been through a lot of tough times together. If it weren''t for the boss finding me, I might have already been dead."


    As Jonah looked up at Sophie, a determined light shone in his dark eyes. He earnestly said, "Ms. Sophie, I entrust my life to you. If something does happen to me, I beg you, please rescue the boss. To him, there wasn''t much in this world worth clinging to, nor people he cared about or cherished. But Ms. Sophie, you are different to him."

    Jonah had only seen Odie''s pain, living on the edge daily, on the brink of mental copse, gradually bing mad and cruel.


    Odie''s atrocities in Summerfield were reflections of his twisted heart.


    Only with Sophie did he manage to forget those maniptions, throwing tantrums like a child.


    Seeing Jonah''s seriousness, Sophie reassured him, "Don''t say that. We''re only going to see Reece; nothing bad will happen."


    "I hope my intuition is wrong, but you know, those of us living on the edge are always sensitive to death."


    Jonah took off a jade pendant from his neck and handed it to Sophie, saying, "This is a talisman I''ve had for many years. I don''t own much of value only this pendant. Now, I''m giving it to you, Ms. Sophie. hope you can fulfill my request and safely bring the boss back."


    Sophie, looking at the pendant in her hand, didn''t really want to ept it. But seeing Jonah''s resolute gaze, she found it impossible to refuse.


    "Alright, I promise you."


    Sophie put on the pendant, saying, "But on one condition, if we all make
