“Shut your trap! Your fighting skills have gotten worse,” Sophie remarked. If that weren't the case, Arius wouldn't have been cornered by such a small group of people.
“I guess that's true,” Arius admitted. He had been immersed in practicing medicine recently, so he had no time to train.
With Sophie by his side, Arius felt completely at ease. He knew that those men were no match for Sophie.
Indeed, Sophie showed off her incredible skills the next moment and beat the men to a pulp.
Knowing that she was the woman Nicholas cherished the most, the men could not bring themselves to strike back.
If they accidentally did her the slightest harm, Nicholas would definitely not let them off.
As a result, they were defenseless against Sophie. The latter, on the contrary, vented her dissatisfaction with Nicholas on them. It had been a long time since she had last fought someone, so she gave them a good beating.
When the men realized they would be crippled if they stayed any longer, they ran off in an instant.
Arius, now out of danger, plopped into the passenger seat comfortably.
“It seems that I have to hire a few bodyguards soon,” he said.
Sophie ignored him. She couldn't believe a few men were enough to make Arius end up in this state, and she didn't want to speak a word to him.
“Are you upset?” asked Arius. Why is she mad? I'm not even mad when I'm the victim! “Sophie, if Nicholas abducts me one day, will you save me?”
“Why should I save you when you're so useless?” Sophie answered without hesitation.
“That's right. Listen, if Nicholas captures me one day, do not care about me. Okay?” Arius voiced. Nicholas is crazy! Does he think he can force Sophie to submit to him by holding me hostage? What in the world is he up to? How can he be so evil?
Soon, the duo came to Wings of Light. It had been a while since Butterfly had last seen Sophie, and she did not expect the latter to visit at this time, and with a handsome man at that.
“Sophie, I've always known you're incredible, but I didn't expect you to own a place like this,” Arius commented.
This was his first time coming to Wings of Light.
“Implant a chip in him,” instructed Sophie. As Nicholas wouldn't give up so easily, they had to be well-prepared as early as now.
She could not possibly leave Arius to his own devices.
“Sophie, you're overreacting. There's no need for this! Don't waste resources,” Arius protested.
He really didn't think there was a need to make such a big deal out of this.
In response, Sophie shot him a meaningful glance.
Seeing that, Arius scratched his nose guiltily. He only had himself to blame for being too weak.
Otherwise, Sophie wouldn't have to be so worried about him.
“All right, I got it. Just implant it. Stop looking at me like that.” Finally, Arius gave in. Although Sophie was just a young woman, he felt chills running down his spine every time she looked at him that way.
When Butterfly saw how obedient he was in front of Sophie, she burst into giggles.
“Sophie, I didn't know you could look so intimidating with your pretty face,” she said. This was the first time she had witnessed this scary side of Sophie.
While Butterfly led Arius to another room, Sophie walked to her office in Wings of Light.
She had been offline for a long time, so the moment she logged in, hundreds of notifications popped out. She closed all of them before sending Nicholas' current location and posting a mission.
Then she logged off again.
Nicholas was enjoying a glass of red wine in his mansion when a bomb was dropped on his rooftop.
The explosion wasn't a big one, but it still caused significant destruction.
In an instant, the housekeepers' screams filled the mansion.
Dust snowed down on Nicholas, making him look disheveled.
Javier also felt the impact, but thankfully, he was unscathed.
He took the chance to run out of the room, only to see that the mansion rooftop had been blown up.
In no time, everyone moved to the courtyard.
“Nicholas, didn't I tell you already? She doesn't like you at all. If she does, she wouldn't have done something like this. Do you still not get it?” Javier pointed out.
Despite her innocent face, Sophie was a ruthless woman.
“What did you do to make her so angry?” asked Javier. Although it was true that Sophie was cruel, she wouldn't do this for no reason. The only possibility was that Nicholas had done something again to provoke her.
She could not possibly leave Arius to his own devices.
Nicholas simply looked at the mess with an unbothered expression.
“Whatever I do has nothing to do with you. Just mind your own business and make sure not to die here.”
Even though Javier was his father, Nicholas was not the least bit polite.
He was in a terrible mood.
“Then what do you plan to do now? Are you going to keep liking her even when she did this to you? Do you really want to die in her hands?” Javier questioned again. He was extremely worried. If things went on this way, Nicholas would be doomed.
“Even if I die in her hands, it's something I'm willing to do so. Don't you interfere! Only a woman like her is worthy of me!” Nicholas claimed with a mad look in his eyes.
“You're crazy. You're hopeless!” How could this kind of love possibly exist in this world? How could someone kill the person they love?
“Yes, I am crazy. I enjoy doing this. Leave me alone!”
Though Nicholas had always known that Sophie would never have mercy on him, he still felt heartbroken.
As if someone was clutching his heart, he found it painful to breathe.
What should I do so that Sophie can feel my sincerity?
“Mr. Nicholas, what should we do now?” a housekeeper asked. Given the current state of the mansion, it was unhabitable.
“It's not like the Sable family is short of money. We can just buy another mansion! If she wants to bomb us, we'll let her do so!” Nicholas was willing to cooperate with anything Sophie wanted to do.
“You!” Javier was incensed. I can't believe I have a son like him. He's going to ruin the Sable family sooner or later! “I don't even want to see you. Just send me back to Anglandur.” If he stayed here any longer, the Sable family would really be done for.
Nicholas responded, “You've finally figured it out! You're my father, so I won't actually do anything to you. Since you want to go back now, I'll ask someone to accompany you. However, you better not play any tricks. You know I'm a heartless person. If anyone dares to hurt Sophie, I'll destroy them.”
Javier shook his head helplessly. “Do whatever you want. I can't control you anyway.”
Only by leaving this place could he get a chance to control Nicholas.
