Tristan knew exactly what Sophie was planning when he saw the look in her eyes.
Even so, he would always support her decisions no matter what.
Meanwhile, Charles had arrived in Fandar with his men. It had been a long time since he got to embark on an exciting mission like this, so he was incredibly thrilled about it. The fact that he would be doing this all by himself only made him all the more excited.
He really enjoyed the adrenaline rush from carrying out risky missions.
“This is a very dangerous operation, Mr. Quigley. Please be extra careful,” said Bertram Asher, one of Tristan's subordinates. Having worked alongside Tristan for many years, he was extremely experienced with combat situations like these.
Tristan didn't feel safe sending Charles over all by himself, so he had Bertram go with him.
“How incompetent do you think I am, Bertram? I've been working for Mr. Tristan just as long as you have, if not longer! Don't worry; I know what I'm doing!” Charles snapped at him. Despite his usual carefree attitude, he was able to get serious when necessary.
“I know you're very capable, Mr. Quigley. I simply think it is better to err on the side of caution when it comes to this sort of thing.”
“Got it.”
We're in a perfect spot for observation and reconnaissance. These b*stards sure are bold going after Sophie! Don't they know who they're messing with?
Bertram glanced at the guys he had brought with him.
We have plenty of manpower and weapons, and there are dozens of helicopters on standby as well. We simply need to give the order to mobilize them.
The tense moment was interrupted when Charles' phone rang all of a sudden.
“Hello, Mr. Tristan! We're just about to commence the operation! All the preparations are complete, so you can rest assured that nothing will go wrong!” Charles said upon answering the call. He was extremely confident in their abilities and preparation.
“Cancel the operation for now. Sophie and I have just arrived. We'll greet those b*stards in person!” Tristan ordered.
They didn't get to fight to their hearts' content during their last battle, so he was determined to leave a lasting impression this time.
“What? I'm all set and ready to move out, though! Why are you telling me to stop now?” Charles exclaimed with a speechless look on his face. He was really looking forward to this mission, after all.
“What's the matter? Do you have a problem with that?” Tristan asked.
Charles took a deep breath to calm himself down before replying, “All right, I understand. I'll stay here and wait for you guys.”
He didn't dare disobey Tristan's orders, so he had no choice but to sit back and wait.
“What's the matter? Is Charles disappointed or something?”
Charles was really looking forward to carrying out this mission, so he must be unhappy now that we came over.
“Don't worry about him. I just want you to be happy.” Tristan really couldn't care less about how anyone else felt.
Sophie's lips curled into a gorgeous smile as she said, “I bet Charles must be so mad at me right now!”
As the weather was really cold in Anglandur, the two of them instantly felt a huge contrast in temperature when they got off the plane in Fandar.
Sophie and Tristan had already gotten changed while they were at the airport. Despite only wearing a plain black T-shirt and a pair of black bloomers, she looked gorgeous as it helped highlight her fair skin.
Tristan, too, was dressed fully in black. In order to rock simplistic outfits like these, one would need to have a fit and well-proportioned body.
Fortunately for Tristan, that was exactly the kind of body he had. He looked so good that the girls around them were all drooling when they passed him by.
That masculine frame and muscular body was such a killer combination that some of the women even approached him to ask for his number.
Tristan simply shot her an icy-cold glance in response. The look in his eyes was so intimidating that they ran off immediately.
While Sophie had gotten used to the attention he received from women, Tristan felt incredibly uncomfortable when he saw the men ogling her.
“What are you guys looking at? I'll have you killed if you don't stop staring at her!” he shouted while pulling Sophie into his arms and glaring coldly at them.
Shocked by his brutal response, the men quickly ran off.
“You're scaring them, Tristan.”
“Really? Am I that scary?” I think I'm quite friendly, though!
“Yeah, you are.”
Sophie didn't know what else to say in response.
Oh, well... Whatever floats his boat, I guess! I don't like those guys ogling me anyway, so it's good to have Tristan scare them off for me.
Charles quickly got out of the car when he saw them approaching.
Although he was a little unhappy when he first heard about their arrival, he decided to pick them up in person anyway.
After all, he knew he didn't have the right to get mad at someone like Tristan.
It had been over a month since Charles last saw them, so he greeted them warmly, “Mr. Tristan! Sophie! I'm over here!”
Despite only being in Fandar for two days, Charles had already developed quite a tan. That showed just how sunny it was over there.
Sophie nodded and hopped right into the car. Because of how hot the weather was, she desperately needed some air-conditioning to help her cool off.
“What are you two doing here, Mr. Tristan? I thought you said you would let me take care of things here! Do you not trust me to get the job done?” Charles asked with a pout as he handed Tristan a lit cigarette.
I've worked alongside Tristan for so many years now! Does he not know my skill level?
To his surprise, however, Tristan turned his offer down.
Charles shot him a confused look. “What's wrong?” Is he not going to smoke if Sophie is in the car? Does he really have to go that far for her?
“I've stopped smoking,” Tristan replied.
He had been slowly dropping some of his bad habits ever since he met Sophie.
“What? You quit smoking? Since when? Why do I not know about that?” Charles exclaimed in shock.
We promised to live a free and adventurous life together, and yet, he's...
“Sophie and I are getting married, right? We'll need to get ready to start a family after that, so I decided to quit smoking now.”
Tristan was determined to become a flawless husband for Sophie's sake.
What the... They won't be getting married until a year later! Why does he have to start preparing for it so soon? Is Mr. Tristan really that eager to marry her?
“Jokes aside, are you looking forward to having kids or the process of having kids?”
Honestly, I admire Mr. Tristan for being able to hold himself back despite having such a beautiful girlfriend! It must take a ridiculous amount of willpower to do that!
Tristan simply rolled his eyes at Charles without saying anything. Why would he ask such a silly question? What difference does it even make? I just want to become a perfect husband for Sophie, that's all!
“All right, let's get going! Sophie didn't eat much on the plane because the food didn't taste good, so she's really hungry now. Let's go get something to eat.”
“Okay!” Since Tristan had quit smoking, Charles wasn't about to make them wait while he smoked a cigarette. He quickly put the cigarette out, tossed it into the trash, and got into the car.
