Colby's arm trembled from the intense pain. A quick glance told him the blood was already turning dark.

"Colby, get your woman in line. If she keeps defying Elodie, I'll kill her," Griffin said, his tone chillingly calm, like killing was as simple as slicing meat. The toxin in Colby's arm was already causing nerve paralysis.

"Or maybe I'll just deal with you now and then take care of Sophie and your friends. Save me a lot of hassle."

"Let go!" Griffin easily shook off Odie. Just as he was about to strike, a swarm of bodyguards rushed in.
