Chapter 259 Good Morning Muriel leaned toward Sophie's ear and asked, âWhat do we do? Can
you beat him?â She had wanted to help, but she quickly realized she couldn't beat either of them
and was just dead weight. âNope!â After exchanging only a few moves with Tristan, Sophie knew she
wasn't going to beat him. He's been keeping his talents a secret, huh? I didn't know he could fight
this well before. âVery well! You'll transfer one hundred million into Nallianceâs account directly when
the time comes! Don't play tricks with me or you'll find yourself an enemy of Nalliance.â Sophie
knew how to adapt to the situation. Besides, with one hundred million on the table, she wouldn't be
losing much. With that, Sophie left with Muriel. Tristanâs eyes remained fixed on them as they left.
Seeing that he was staring at the two women, Felix nudged Tristan with his elbow. âWhy are you
staring at them like that, Mr. Tristan? Did you fall for one of them? Even though they're wearing
masks?
Sure, their figures are sexy, but it's pointless if they look ugly! Besides, you already have Sophie.
Have you fallen in love with someone else already? You know Ysabelleâs not going to forgive you
that easily if you have, right?â âWhat are you thinking?â Tristan handed S over to Felix. âIn any case,
bring him back first and interrogate him for information we want to know. Then hand him over to
Eustace!â The reason he wanted to hand that person over to Eustace was that he disliked handling
matters like that. âOkay! How about you? Are you going to look for Sophie now? It's getting pretty
late. Do you know where she is?â Felix asked. Horingtonâs pretty big! It'll take time to locate
someone in the city. âWhy are you talking so much nonsense?â Tristan spat. It's pretty late already.
Why would I disturb her? As much as I miss her, I should at least wait until tomorrow to meet her!
Meanwhile, Sophie and Muriel had gone into the car. This time, it was Muriel who drove. She
intentionally avoided Eustace and the others by taking a detour before returning to the main road
and driving back home. When they returned, Sophie began packing her things. That confounded
Muriel.
"What are you doing? All right, I know what I did wrong. I won't do it again!â She didnât understand
why Sophie was doing all that instead of taking a bath and going to sleep. âI'm glad you know that!
Don't stir things up like that again in the future! I still have things to take care of, so I'm not going
to stay here any longer!â Sophie informed. Since Tristanâs here in Horington, I've no doubt he'll
come and find me! It'll be difficult to explain myself if he learns that I've been staying with Muriel.
Grabbing her hand, Muriel asked, âSo you're not angry with me, right?â The answer to that question
was important to her because even though she had gone off on her own, Nalliance really wanted to
capture S. âI'm not angry. Don't you know what kind of person I am? Do I look like I'm that petty?
Just be more careful when I'm not around. Don't piss off people you can't afford to, okay?â
Sophie said. Christmas is right around the corner. If I don't go back soon, Grandpa's going to
overthink things. I still need to be considerate of his emotions! âSo you're going back? It's only been
a few days!â It saddened Muriel to learn that Sophie was about to leave. âI want to go with you!â
Sadly, Nalliance needed her help, so she couldn't leave even if she wanted to. Sophie patted her
pretty face. âBe good, okay? If you come across a problem you donât know how to take care of, just
go and find our mentor! He formed Nalliance, so he should take responsibility.â âOkay!â After telling
her a few more things about Nalliance, Sophie left Muriel's condominium and went straight to
Horington Hotel. Upon checking in and going into her room, she, worried about her location being
exposed, hacked into the hotel system and changed her check-in information. Only then did she go
and take a bath in peace. At the same time, Tristan had also arrived at Horington Hotel. I need to
take a bath and change into a new set of clothing before I meet with Sophie. Felix had already
handed S to their people in Horington before personally interrogating the latter.
By the time Tristan was out of the bathroom, Felix had already returned. Felix handed the
confidential information he personally extracted from S to Tristan. âThis is everything I got from SI"
After flipping through a few pages of the report, Tristan furrowed his brows even more tightly. This
d*mn S! âShould we hand him over to Eustace and the others now?"Felix asked. Even though we
caught S, we're about to hand him over to Eustace now. Eustaceâs a lucky man. âGive him to
Eustace!â Tristan ordered. Eustace doesn't belong to that system. He always does things by the
book! âAre you trying to gain Eustaceâs favor, Mr. Tristan?â Felix asked. Eustace is quite influential in
Jipsdale. âNo. I just think he can be useful.â When it came to people, Tristan had a good eye for
them. âOkay! I'll ask people to deliver this big gift to Eustace. Hopefully, he won't disappoint us!â
There were plenty of legends about Eustace that Felix had heard of before. However, no matter
what, it wouldn't be easy to pull Eustace to their side. After cleaning up the mess, Eustace and his
team were demoralized because they failed to capture S. Besides, one of them had been badly
injured and was staying in the hospital. It infuriated them that they had missed their prime
opportunity to capture the person they had been looking for. Just as everyone was getting pretty
dejected, a member of Horington SWAT team saw an unlicensed black car throw a bag down at the
entrance of the SWAT team building. Then the car left. One of the team members approached the
bag and carefully opened it. When he saw the person inside, he promptly asked someone to report
it. When Eustace and the others came out, they saw S, who was all tied up. Danny rubbed his eyes.
They had all seen S' photo before they went on the mission. Therefore, even though $' face had
become so swollen, they still recognized him. âCaptain Sheppard? Can we say that we got lucky or
not?â Danny scratched the back of his head. What the hell's going on?
âAll right, stop talking. Bring him in first!â While Eustace had no idea who captured Sâsince S was a
pretty extraordinary personâhe decided to leave the mystery of S' captors for another day. What
was more important to him at that moment was solving the cases that were tied directly to S. After
she took a bath, Sophie went straight to bed. She had thought Tristan would come looking for her
after the matter was dealt with, but it turned out to be just her wishful thinking. The next morning,
someone knocked on the door. She roughly combed her hair before opening the door. The moment
she did that, she saw Tristanâs familiar face and was pulled into his embrace. With Sophie in his
embrace, Tristan whispered next to her ear sexily, âGood morning.â Sophie was taken aback. âWhy
are you here?â It was her assumption that he had already returned because he didnât come to look
for her during the night.
