The Tycoon's Deepest Repentance (Sophia and Ryan) novel Chapter 175

Chapter 169: Unexpected Incident 

It was Abigail who let out a cry. 

“What’s wrong?” Charlotte furrowed her brows slightly and asked in a low voice. 

“… I think I sprained my foot.” Abigail’s voice carried a hint of pain. She must have tripped over something on the ground, injuring her foot 

“Can you still walk?” Charlotte judged the direction based on the sound and walked towards Abigail step by step. 

“It hurts a lot…” Abigail’s voice seemed to be on the verge of tears. “Charlotte, Karl maybe I should forfeit. I’m afraid I can’t walk like this” 

also didn’t expect to suddenly encounter such an accident. 

In the current situation, having Abigail fire a signal flare and voluntarily forfeit the Misty Forest might be the best choice, but- 

Subconsciously, he felt that Charlotte wouldn’t abandon Abigail. 

“We’ll find the gem soon. It would be a shame for you to forfeit now,” Charlotte said as she reached Abigail Although they couldn’t see each other through the thick fog, Charlotte accurately grasped Abigail’s arm. 

As these words were spoken, both Abigail and Karl were slightly stunned. 

They were about to find the gem soon? 

“Charlotte… are you serious?” Abigail asked in disbelief, her tone tinged with a hint of excitement. 

Karl was also slightly taken aback. 

They had been wandering in this forest for several rounds, and there was no clear direction 

Why did Charlotte say they were about to find the gem soon? 

Charlotte pressed her lips together and didn’t explain. 

In fact, this was her first time in the Misty Forest. 

She hadn’t made any preparations before coming. 

Because she was confident she could easily complete the mission. 

Just now, she purposefully wandered around the forest. 

It was all to listen to the sounds. 

She had a very high sensitivity to sound and could determine direction through it. 

Just now, after continuous listening, she discovered that in this forest, there seemed to be a cave, and- 

There was the sound of flowing water inside the cave. 

Where would the instructors from Starry Training most likely hide the gem? 

She felt the most likely place- 

Was this cave. 

With water inside the cave, as long as she followed the sound of the flowing water, she could reach the cave. 

That’s why she said they were about to find the gem. 

Indeed, it was almost there. 

The cave wasn’t far from them.

Chapter 169: Unexpected Incident 

At this point, she didn’t want to give up on Abigail. 

In reality, she was not an excessively kind or soft hearted person. 

It’s just that she never had the habit of abandoning teammates. 

She rose from being an unknown soldier to becoming the leader of the entire Dark Night Organization, relying not only on her immense strength but also on the loyalty of her subordinates. 

She treated every subordinate well and never easily gave up on them. This loyalty earned her the respect and support of countless individuals. 

She would never abandon a teammate, so today, she wouldn’t abandon Abigail. 

“Come on, I’ll carry you,” Charlotte bent down, ready to carry Abigail to the cave. 

“Hah?!” Abigail was once again surprised. “You’ll carry me?” 

She scratched her head, feeling a bit embarrassed. “Charlotte, isn’t this a bit… taxing to you?” 

“I’ll carry her.” At this moment, Karl’s voice rang in their ears. 

He didn’t want Charlotte to be burdened, so he volunteered to carry Abigail. He knew that Charlotte wanted to walk with Abigail. Since this was her decision, he would assist her. 

“No need,” Charlotte firmly declined. She didn’t want to trouble Karl. Carrying a girl was not a difficult task for her. 

“Come on,” Charlotte called out to Abigail again, indicating for her to get on her back. 

Abigail bit her lip and finally climbed onto Charlotte’s back. She felt guilty for imposing on Charlotte, but- she really wanted to find the gem and complete this test. 

“Charlotte, thank you,” she said sincerely, hooking her hands around Charlotte’s neck. 

Charlotte carried her and straightened up, then continued moving through the dense fog. Karl followed behind her. 

Guided by the sound of flowing water, Charlotte marched through the thick fog, heading straight towards their destination. Finally, twenty minutes 

later- 

The three of them arrived at the mouth of a cave. At this moment, the sun was high overhead, and the sunlight became intense. The thick fog dissipated, and they could finally see everything clearly. 

“There’s… actually a cave here?” Abigail widened her eyes, carefully staring at the cave before her. The rugged, dark rocks were piled somewhat disorderly, and looking into the cave from outside, they could only see an abyss that seemed bottomless, like a black hole.
