"Ah—!" Ricky screamed, stumbling several steps backward.
Sophie seized the moment to tear off the tape from her mouth and the blindfold, yelling towards the seaside, "Help! Somebody, help!"
"Shut your mouth, you bitch!"
Jake advanced menacingly, but Sophie had already freed her ankles from the ropes. Aiming precisely, she kicked Jake in the groin, causing him to howl in pain.
Ricky was about to step forward but found himself flipped over onto the ground by Sophie's kick.
Clearly, Jake and Ricky had not anticipated Sophie's knowledge of self-defense. Sophie was thankful she hadn't slacked off under Colby's rigorous training; otherwise, she would have been in dire straits.
"Help! Somebody, help!" Continuing to shout, Sophie scrambled into Jake's car. Then, she floored the accelerator.
"She's gotten away!"
Ricky wore a grim expression while Jake, dark-faced, slapped him. "Do I need you to tell me that? Get moving and chase her!"
Though Jake said this, how could the two of them possibly catch up with a car on foot? They hadn't gone far before they had to stop, defeated.
At that moment, headlights illuminated Jake and Ricky. The man leading the group stepped down from the car, and upon seeing Odie, Jake's face turned pale, "Bo—Boss..."
"Where is she?" Odie's expression was ominous.
Swallowing nervously, Jake said, "She—she got away..."
Odie's eyes filled with danger, exerting an immense pressure that made it hard for the two men to breathe.
The next second, Jonah stepped forward, lifting both men off the ground, one in each hand.
Odie asked coldly, "Who's the buyer?"
"It's Hunky from Devonport. Hunky and Skinny took the job! We were only responsible for the hit. We don't know anything else!"
Odie was clealy unsatisfied with the response. His stern face remained unpleased, and Jonah emotionlessly inquired, "Boss, what should we do with them?"
"Dump them in the sea."
