Chapter 1614

Sophie's mind inevitably drifted back to the moment before she left, when Colby handed her the revolver.

“There are only six bullets. If things really go south, you won’t have time to reload, so... make sure to aim carefully.”

Sophie was a good shot, but there were just too many of them.

Once again, her own words to Colby echoed in her ears: “I figure, even if I do use up all the bullets, you’d definitely have made it to my side by then, right?”

Unfortunately, this time she would not be able to wait for him.

“Bang—!’

A gunshot tore through the sky.

Kena’s bullet, under the cover of mercenaries, pierced straight through Sophie’s chest.

At that moment, hearing the gunshot, Jenna yelled to the people behind her: “Hurry up! Move faster!”

Adler and Harold, among others, were already darting through the woods.

They hadn't been waiting outside but had moved into the dense forest shortly after Colby left.

With many people, they quickly identified their location from their memories.

As soon as they saw the signal, they immediately rushed over.

The sound of gunfire grew closer.

But that was the last shot; after that, silence ensued.

“Ma’am, someone’s coming.”

One of the mercenaries quickly detected a large group of people approaching.

Kena frowned, glanced at Sophie lying on the ground not far away, and coldly ordered, “Evacuate!”

“Yes!”

In the dense forest nearby, Colby had already reached the location where the flare had been launched, but he couldn’t see anyone.

The gunfire had stopped.

The air was thick with the scent of blood.

“Sir, it should be just ahead!”

Before his subordinate could finish speaking, Colby had already started running towards the direction ahead, his men barely keeping up with his pace.

Sophie!

Wait for me!

Colby was frantic. If it weren’t for the maze intentionally set up in this dense forest, he wouldn’t have been cut off.

A bad premonition always lingered in his heart.

He hoped he was just overthinking.

But that intense unease nearly drove him to despair.

After what felt like an eternity, Colby finally reached a part of the dense forest.

The scent of blood was strongest here, and the first thing he saw was Jonah’s body behind a tree.

Seeing the bloody holes on Jonah’s body, Colby’s heart tightened.

He frantically looked around.

His mind went blank in an instant.

“Sophie...Sophie!”

Colby helplessly searched for Sophie’s figure in the dense forest.

There were too many obstructions here, and he stumbled several times, nearly falling to the ground.

It wasn’t until Colby walked past a tree that he saw the bodies scattered haphazardly in front of him, and Sophie lying on the ground among them.

When his men caught up, they found Colby standing still.

The icy chill surrounding him made them hesitant to approach.

“M-Madam...”

Someone uttered, and just as his men were about to move forward, Colby turned pale and commanded, “Don’t go near her!”

With that order, no one dared to move.

Colby felt his heart racing, the overwhelming sense of dread making his legs feel weak.

At that moment, Jenna and the others had also arrived.

Seeing the scene before her, Jenna’s eyes reddened, and she incredulously murmured, “Sophie...”
