Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 770

As the evening shadows lengthened, James paced the second floor of Minton Casino, glancing at his wristwatch. It was twenty minutes past their eight o’clock meet–up time, and there was still no sign of Sophie.

James frowned slightly. Sophie was never late. Could something have come up?

He scanned the casino floor below, and just then, Sophie walked in. Her stunning wine–red gown made her easy to spot in the crowd.

However, James also noticed a few shadowy figures lurking in the corners, their eyes fixed on Sophie. They were clearly tailing her.

Sophie’s eyes met James‘, subtly signaling towards the people watching him. He got the message immediately.

Maintaining a façade of calm, Sophie made her way up to the second floor. She stopped right in front of James, her face a mixture of resolve and hesitation.

“I didn’t think you’d actually come,” James said.

Odie’s words echoed in Sophie’s mind. ‘Tonight, when James seeks you out, go to him, but follow my instructions.‘ ‘This is our latest product, a high–purity powder that’s incredibly addictive with just a tiny dose.’ ‘If you don’t do as I say, you know the consequences.‘
