Chapter 903 Sofie Signing Off

“Find someone more capable? But I have no idea who to turn to. Why don't you give me some advice, Chuck?”

Chuck seemed to have sensed her murderous intent. He slowly turned, ready to make a run for it at any moment.

“T-The Yablon family, the world's top poison-crafting family. They might be the only ones who can detoxify it. B-But of course, I'm not entirely sure either. After all, the origin of the poison is unknown, and it's highly likely that the Yablon family will be at a loss for what to do, too. But you could still try asking the Yablons. T-They might have a solution.”

The moment he finished speaking, he dashed toward the door in a flash.

Sofie smiled coldly and pulled a silver needle from her wrist before hurling it straight toward the man's back, aiming to pierce his flesh.

She didn't need to aim for his heart, for the poison she employed was so lethal that it would result in death upon immediate contact with the human body unless an antidote was administered promptly.

That was indeed the case. After the needle pierced Chuck's shoulder, he ran a few more steps ahead before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. How scary! Thankfully Zoey fed me the antidote to suppress the poison, or I would've met the same fate as Chuck, dying on the spot. Looks like this old geezer was right. Perhaps the Yablons are the only ones who can detoxify it. If that's the case, I can't stay in Moranta any longer. I have to retrieve the confidential documents, then leave secretly for the Yablon residence to seek the antidote.

She firmly believed that since she held the trump card that would determine the Hoffman family's fate, those old geezers from the Yablon family would definitely be more than happy to cooperate with her.

With that in mind, she swiftly gathered her belongings and, shrouded by the veil of the night, discreetly slipped out of the inn.

Unbeknownst to her, shortly after she left, she was spotted by Zoey, who had been staking out the place.

An evil smirk played on Zoey's lips as she watched the woman's silhouette, which was stumbling and staggering forward clumsily.

This woman will surely leave the country after failing to find anyone who can detoxify the poison in Moranta. Before leaving, she'll definitely retrieve that confidential document. So... I'll get my hands on what I desire tonight.

Zoey followed Sofie all the way until they finally arrived at a self-service storage room at the end of East-West Road.

Seeing Sofie take out a package from the locker, Zoey stopped concealing herself and slowly emerged from the shadows.

“Sofie, do you know what it means to pursue a narrow gain while neglecting a greater danger?” she asked.

Sofie turned around immediately to see Zoey. In response, her pupils constricted.

“Y-You... You're not dead?”
