Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110 Causing An Unwanted Misunderstanding

Felix had no idea Tristan would bring Sophie to the dungeon.

Everyone who was tortured and questioned here would definitely spill the truth.

Sophie was in a daze after she entered the dungeon.

It did not occur to her that Tristan would bring the men here and that such a place existed in Jipsdale.

“Mr. Tristan,” Felix greeted. He had just arrived a while ago and didn’t have the chance to question the mercenaries yet.

“I’ll bring you around,” Tristan said to Sophie, who nodded in agreement.

Despite priding herself on her rich experience, she couldn’t stop a chill from going down her spine at the horrible-looking devices used to torture the prisoners kept captive here.

“Mr. Tristan, do your rivals often try to assassinate you?”

Is he only the CEO of Lombard Group? Why do so many people want him dead?

“Why?” Tristan led her deeper into the dungeon. Everything Sophie saw here gave her a new perspective of what Tristan was capable of.

“Why do you need to establish a dungeon like this?” The police might not be able to get the answers they wanted, but the prisoners here—including ruthless mercenaries—would definitely spill everything after being tortured by the highly advanced devices. There was simply no chance of fighting back.

“Indeed. After I took over Lombard Group, many wanted me dead,” came Tristan’s answer.

Hearing that, Sophie felt bad for him.

No matter how mentally resilient he was, he must be annoyed by those constant assassinations!

Tristan took in her expression and went to her.

Taking her hand, he said, “But they don’t have what it takes to kill me. I’m still healthy and alive.”

He wouldn’t have created a dungeon if it wasn’t necessary.

“You shouldn’t have brought me here,” Sophie said.

This place was very important to him. If someone else discovered the existence of this place and sent the evidence to the relevant authorities, he would be greatly affected.

“Sophie, you’re different from others. You mean a lot to me.”

He would allow her to do anything she wanted in his territory.

In fact, he could take over any territory that wasn’t his as long as she wanted him to.

His gaze was too affectionate, and Sophie had no idea how to respond. Without a word, she went deeper into the dungeon.

“The technology here is really advanced. I’m sure no one can refuse to talk.” No matter how strong one’s willpower was, one couldn’t resist for long.

“Yes.”

He had spent a lot to build this dungeon, so it was undeniably effective.

After their tour ended, Felix had already pried the information from the mercenaries’ lips.

“Mr. Tristan, the Zaleses sent them, just like last time in Horington,” Felix reported.

The Zaleses had always been jealous of the Lombards and had been trying to wipe them out in secret.

“Clayton Zales.” Tristan’s guess was right.

The only person who dared to pull this feat in Jipsdale could only be Clayton.

“Mr. Tristan, what should we do about them?” Felix asked, for there were over ten mercenaries here.

“Hand them to Eustace. He’s been trying to capture them, hasn’t he?”

Sophie blinked after hearing Eustace’s name.

“Sure.”

They were doing Eustace a big favor.
