Chapter 1326


    Mr. Quartus’ stint in solitary was up and he was promptly set free.


    Upon being released, he gathered his henchmen and barged into the room where Sophie and Mr. Ben


    were making love, kicking the door open with a swift boot.


    His men, dressed in ck, yanked Sophie and Mr. Ben from their bed, dragging them onto the floor like


    sacks of potatoes.


    Mr. Quartus, wearing a mask, looked at Sophie as though her sight stung his eyes, and with another


    swift kick, flipped her over.


    Thepletely naked Sophie was ogled by the gang of burly men, causing her face to pale and her


    body to tremble with rage.


    Caught off guard, Sophie and Mr. Ben were pinned down by the men in ck, immobilized. Sophie


    could only lift her head, grit her teeth and re at Mr. Quartus, “You dare treat me this way, Quartus,


    aren’t you afraid of 1-2ing after you?” Sophie spat at him.


    “Oh, I’m terrified.” Mr. Quartus retorted, cleaning his boot across the carpet in a casual manner.


    “Then release us immediately!” Sophie demanded.


    Mr. Quartus scoffed, toozy to argue, and gave his men a simplemand.


    “Throw this pair into the snake pit!” he ordered.


    Sophie, in disbelief, stared wide-eyed at Mr. Quartus, “Ben and are the right and left hands of 1-2, you


    wouldn’t dare!”


    “Oh, wouldn’t I?” he smirked, nodding at his henchmen.


    The men in ck promptly hauled Sophie and Mr. Ben off the ground, dragging them towards the


    elevator.


    Ben, trained from a young age in the art of survival, managed to break free and rushed over to Sophie,


    grabbing her wrist and fending off the approaching men.


    Just as Mr. Quartus was about to shoot, Ben shoved Sophie into a hidden escape tunnel.


    “1-2 gave you authority before, go!” he urged.


    Reacting quickly, Sophie scanned her iris and the door to the tunnel swung open. She climbed in,


    attempting to pull Ben in with her, but a bullet from Mr. Quartus’ gun shot in Ben’s chest.


    Ben, although shot, held his ground, blocking the entrance to the tunnel to protect Sophie.


    As the door closed, Sophie stared in shock, unable to believe that Ben was willing to sacrifice himself


    for her.


    “Damn it!” Mr. Quartus cursed, his bullet intended for Sophie’s head hitting the steel door instead.


    After uttering a profanity, he walked over to Ben who was now clutching his chest and lying on the


    ground. Without a moment’s hesitation, he fired his gun at Ben’s head, executing him on the spot.


    In a fit of rage, Mr. Quartus discarded his empty gun, stepping over Ben’s lifeless body.


    Toss him into the snake pit, let the snakes have a feast,” he ordered his men.


    Ignoring whether Sophie had escaped to report him to 1-2, Mr. Quartus opened the door to the solitary


    cell.


    “I’ve thrown Mr. Ben into the snake pit to avenge your friend Caleb, as for Sophie…”


    *She escaped through 1-2’s private tunnel. She had clearance, I didn’t, so I couldn’t chase her.”

    After exining briefly, he threw the control device to Bernard, who was covered in blood.


    Ive retrieved it for you, do whatever you want with it.”


    With that, Mr. Quartus turned to leave, but Bernard suddenly lifted his cold, ominous gaze.
