Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 257

Hostage Sophie noticed something awry as soon as she entered the warehouse. It was filled with barrels of gasoline. The place would explode if someone opened fire, and nobody would be able to walk out of there alive by then. “Don’t shoot,” Sophie cautioned Muriel. Looks like it has to be resolved with fists this time! Muriel nodded, understanding the situation at once. “What do we do now? I feel like we’re currently wading in murky waters.”

What’s more, coming here was my idea. Muriel was not concerned at all when it came to marksmanship, as she had undergone special training and passed many levels of tests to qualify to join Nalliance. However, her confidence wavered at the mention of a fistfight. “What say we forget it, Sophie?” He is an outlaw who has nothing left to lose, but we’re not. We still have families. We would likely be charred beyond recognition in such a place. Sophie glanced at her. Doesn’t she find it ridiculous to talk about giving up at this juncture? It’s not like we can back out at this point, anyway. Right then, the entrance slammed shut. S was evidently holding a grudge and intended to deal with them once and for all. Muriel looked helpless. “I know we can’t open fire in such a place, but I wonder if S has enough brains to know that. What if he opens fire?” “Don’t worry. S is an intelligent criminal. He won’t be that stupid.” Now is the time to see who the better fighter is! “Stay close to me, got it?”

problem. “Don’t worry. I’ll stay close to you. I’m actually terrified of death.” Despite the conflict with her family, Muriel still loved them dearly. I joined Nalliance because I was interested, and also for that d*mned sense of justice. Suddenly, the lights in the warehouse were put out by S. Muriel clutched Sophie’s arm. What do we do now? Large gasoline barrels, taller than an average person, littered the warehouse; they did not know where S was at that moment. Sophie tapped her shoulder. “Hide here and don’t make a sound. Don’t come out

faltered. How can I let Sophie risk herself like that? I was the one who wanted to come! “Don’t worry. Just trust me.” Hiding there was not an option. Besides, it went against Sophie’s character of meeting challenges head-on. It was completely dark in the warehouse, so she had to rely on her sense of hearing. Right then, somebody grabbed Sophie’s shoulder from the back. She retaliated immediately by grabbing their arm. The two began to fight. Sophie attacked S, who, as an internationally feared drug lord, had decent skills of his own. As a result, their fight was intense, as none of them could gain an advantage over the other. S was especially excited as it had been a long time since he had encountered such a skilled opponent—and a woman at that. “Not bad. You can parry so many of my strikes!” S finally spoke. His voice was rather pleasant. Sophie ignored him. Instead, she focused her attacks on his gunshot wound and landed a kick.

her curves and especially her long legs. How seductive! Sophie did not respond. She gave him a kick, but he managed to dodge it. Upon realizing that he was no match for her, S hid away. The two began a cautious game of cat and mouse in the warehouse, each wary of the skills of the other. None of them dared act carelessly. At that moment, an

sparring. Before long, S sent Muriel to the ground with a kick. Muriel was beginning to regret having Sophie come here when she fell to his strike. As if coming here isn’t bad enough, I am now being used to threaten Sophie. It is an unforgivable mistake on my part. Muriel’s plan to escape was foiled by a glinting knife pressed against her neck. She was already his captive by the time Sophie heard the noise and rushed over. S appeared delighted by the sight of the women
