In the quiet of Aldridge Estate, all eyes were on Colby seated on the sofa.
Sophie couldn't help but take Colby's hand, reassuring him, "Colby, Harold's people have gone to gather information. I believe Adler will be fine. Don't worry too much."
Adler and Jenna had been missing for twenty-four hours, with no word from them.
The outskirts of the Silent Shadows valley were teeming with more mercenaries, seemingly to ward them off intentionally.
Now, even though they knew Wesley was the leader of the Silent Shadows, it did them no good; they had no way to get to Wesley.
"Mr. Aldridge! Mr. Adler he..."
"Where is he?"
Colby was up from the sofa in an instant, with Sophie and Harold looking equally tense.
The security at the door said, "Mr. Adler is outside, but... he was carried over."
Hearing that Adler had been carried back, Sophie's heart skipped a beat. They immediately ran outside Aldridge Estate, only to see Adler being carried on a stretcher by unknown individuals outside the iron gate.
"Adler!"
Sophie quickly said to the bodyguards, "What are you waiting for? Bring him in, now!"
"Yes!"
The bodyguards stepped out of Aldridge Estate's gates, Adler on the stretcher looking pale, his abdomen hastily bandaged, already seeping blood.
"Don't worry, it's just a superficial wound." Harold said, calling out to William inside Aldridge Estate, "William! Hurry! Come and save him!"
William, carrying a medical kit, ran down from the second floor, his proficiency stirring empathy.
"Here! Where is he?"
Rushing to the crowd, William soon noticed Adler lying on the stretcher.
