Chapter 255
Divo âMr. Tristan, the drug lord is in Horington,â reported Felix as soon as he received the news.
They had been going after that drug lord for quite some time. âHorington?â Why did the drug lord
come to Horington? Didn't he just make a mess in Anglandur a month ago? âHave our people get
ready. We'll return to Horington tonight.â âMr. Tristan, are you going back to Horington to get that
drug lord? Or are you doing so for Sophie?â Felix had already made the arrangements, but he
couldn't resist asking. âIs that important?â
There isn't a conflict of interest, so why does the reason I'm going back matter at all? âNo, not at all.
I was just asking,â Felix said. âAre you two going?â Charles and Sean had always been uninterested
in matters as such. They would usually keep watch in the base camp. âI don't think so. There are a
lot of things I have to take care of at home these days,â Charles said. Winter's issue had yet to be
resolved. She wouldn't go to Alendor. âI have a few active cases, so I won't be going either,â Sean
said. Those cases were rather challenging, so he had to focus on them. âIn that case, Mr. Tristan and
I will be the only ones going, then.â Charles chuckled. âWhy does Mr. Tristan look especially happy
about it?
Is it because he'll get to see Sophie soon? My gosh, it's only been a day. Is it really necessary?â
"Donât you know? Love drives people crazy,â Felix teased. Tristan could not care less about them at
all. None of that mattered to him. He couldn't wait to fly to Sophie when he thought about how
he'd get to see her in a gown. That night, at seven o'clock, Eustace led the SWAT team to meet up
with a team of local police officers. They had been planning for a long time just to catch that
notorious drug lord that night. Before they left, their leader gave them a final lecture. Danny
complained, âWhy is he talking so much? We have to leave and strike while the iron before the drug
lord gets away again.â
Eustace gave Danny a look, and the latter immediately shut up. When their leader finished his
speech, Eustace said to everyone, âOur target is a merciless killer, so everyone is to be extra careful. I
hope that all twelve of us will return safely.â That was what Eustace wished for every mission. He
wanted the missions to go smoothly without anyone getting hurt or injured. Unfortunately, that was
rarely the case. âDonât worry, Captain Sheppard. We'll definitely be careful,â said a member of the
special forces who was in his forties and was about to retire. He came from a family of farmers, so
he was rather honest. âOkay. Let's move out.â Meanwhile, Tristan and Felix had already got off the
plane. âMr. Tristan, should we call Sophie now?â They had arrived in Horington, so it was natural for
Felix to assume that Tristan would want to call Sophie. âNo. We'll call her once this is over.â
Tristan knew that he wouldn't be able to explain himself if he were to call her at that moment.
Hence, he decided it was better not to call her at all. âOkay.â I guess that's a wise choice. This is a
menâs thing. Sophie is strong, but she is still a woman and shouldn't be dragged into this. âAre we
going to apprehend that guy right now?â asked Felix. He already had his men on standby. âHang on
for now. If Eustace can capture the guy, then there is no need for us to get involved.â Their best-
case scenario was still for the SWAT team to catch the drug lord. âOkay.â Several black cars were
already parked outside and waiting for them. Tristan got into one of them, and Felix took the
passenger seat after he closed the door for Tristan. This will probably be a tough battle. I hope
Eustace can handle it.
"Are we really not going to check things out?â asked Muriel. She couldnt help thinking about it
because it looked fun. This is a golden opportunity. We will never get a shot like this again. âLet's
go.â Sophie stood up. Hearing that, Muriel immediately jumped from her seat. Finally! Yes! It's been
so long since I've experienced this joy. This is going to be so much fun. Muriel got Sophie an outfit
that was suitable for combat. After that, the two ladies went to change their clothes. They were both
wearing all black. Even their caps were black. Muriel tossed two guns to Sophie because a situation
like that warranted them. Sophie caught those guns with ease. She loaded the guns and holstered
them before putting on her sunglasses. It had been quite some time since Muriel had seen that side
of Sophie. D*mn, sheâs so cool. With those black leather pants wrapped around her legs, Sophie
looked even sexier than usual. âWhat are you looking at? Let's go.â âSophie, aren't you going to put
on your mask?â It's way too dangerous for her to leave just like that. Muriel tossed her the mask. A
sense of nostalgia hit Sophie hard when she held the mask, which hadn't been used for quite some
time. This time, the deal would take place at the beach. Sophie was a little speechless when she saw
Muriel's luxury car. âMs. Peterson, will it kill you to keep a low profile?â
My gosh, we're not going to a fancy ball or a closing ceremony, so what's with the car? "What? I
thought the car looks nice. Donât you think so?â Muriel found the car matched them rather well.
Sophie was lost for words. âIt's been a while since you have done something like this, hasn't it,
Sophie? Be extra careful later and don't get hurt.â Is she looking down on me? âDonât worry about
me. In fact, I'll be thankful if you can take care of yourself and not slow me down.â Everyone there
would be a fighting expert, so Sophie's concern was not unfounded. âHey! I've gotten much better
at this, andâyou know what? I'm not even going to talk about this. You can see for yourself later.â
It didn't take long before they arrived at the location where the drug lord was supposed to make a
deal. âSeriously, this guy has quite the nerves,â Muriel commented. âWhat's his name by the way?â
Sophie asked, as Muriel had yet to mention it. âNo idea, but everyone calls him S.â Sophie didn't
know what to say about that. You don't even know his name, yet you're aiming for that one hundred
million. What is wrong with you? It was one in the morning, and there was total silence. It was also
the perfect time to do something shady. Two groups showed up at the beach. Everyone was
wearing a black outfit and looked as though they were a force to be reckoned with. Sophie and
Muriel were standing some distance away. The former was using a pair of binoculars to see how
things were progressing. My guess is that S is not here yet. Both parties are on standby, so it is likely
they are waiting for him to show up.
âThat S is such a divo, huh?â commented Sophie. I can't believe he has over two hundred
subordinates waiting for him. âWell, you've seen him before, and you gotta admit heâs kinda hot.â
Muriel smiled. âIs he?â Muriel has seriously got to do something about her lack of taste in men.
