Sophie didn't expect Odie to have already dealt with Gattlin just as she had returned to her room. She was almost discovered.

Polly said, "But Ms. Sophie, how did you know that Mr. Odie would have thrown Gattlin into the sea? What if Mr. Odie had spared Gattlin..."

"He's such a useless person. Keeping him would be pointless, and given Odie's personality, he would never spare someone who dared to target his prey."

"I see..."

Sophie looked down at the phone.

Now that Gattlin was dead, no one would notice one less phone on board was missing.

Moreover, since Gattlin had been helping Odie organize the Minton International gala, this phone likely contained ample evidence regarding Minton International's misdeeds. If she could take this phone with her, it would bolster her leverage against Odie.

The docks at Devonport were bustling with people coming and going daily. Adler and Colby personally arrived at the docks to stake it out, with hundreds of their men lurking around.

"Colby, something's not right. By all accounts, Odie's yacht should have already arrived, but up to now, there hasn't even been a shadow of a yacht in sight."

Colby frowned, asking, "What about the tracking?"

"It stopped a while ago. Probably Odie turned off his phone, so the background tracking doesn't work."

Colby's brows furrowed tighter, and just then, his phone buzzed with a ringtone.

Opening his phone somewhat wearily, Colby's eyes lit up upon seeing the message. "It's Sophie."

"What?" Adler turned around to see the message on Colby's phone.

Although it was from an unfamiliar number, the message content was clear: Odie hadn't arrived at the coast as planned and was currently in wait, suspected of heading towards Duskhaven. Colby read the word "Duskhaven," and his eyes grew colder.

Adler couldn't help but look up at Colby, saying, "Colby... Duskhaven..."

Duskhaven was Ricardo's territory. Odie would have no reason to go there without cause.

"They're not going to Duskhaven but to Summerfield." Colby's voice was filled with worry.

Summerfield was Odie's territory. Going to Summerfield was like stepping into a quagmire.

Hearing this, Adler's face showed

panic. "Colby, don't go to

Summerfield. I'll talk it over wivel net

. It's better if I..." Content

"I'll go. Don't follow me."

"Why would you do that? That's Summerfield! A city of sin that Odie created, where even the cats and dogs aren't clean."

Going to Summerfield meant completely exposing oneself to Odie's surveillance!

"I won't let him harm Sophie, not even a bit."

Colby radiated an intense aura of determination, something Adler & hadn't seen in a long time. It seemed if anything happened to Sophie,

Colby would commit acts even more terrifying than decimating a city.

By evening, Sophie looked through the cabin window and finally saw the sea's edge, but this was certainly not Devonport.

It resembled Duskhaven more.

It seemed Odie truly planned to

'Knock, knock-

A knock at the door came, and Sophie, thinking it was Polly, quickly said, "Come in."

The person who entered was a nurse, causing Sophie to pause.

What could a nurse want with her at this time?
