Chapter 488


    In the meantime, a nurse pushed udius out of the operating room of Lusterg''s private hospital.


    Spencer took one look at udius, who was still unconscious due to the anesthesia, and ordered Joe


    and Allen, "Watch Mr. Lenoir closely."


    Knowing it was their fault this time, Joe and Allen could only nod in response to Spencer''s strict orders.


    None of them expected Bruce and Truce to actually pay someone to attack udius.


    It was past nine o''clock at night when Joe and Allen were exiting UI''s office building with udius.


    While they were escorting him to the condominium, a group of armed men blocked their path in the


    middle of the road.


    At first, the duo thought they had identally intruded into the men''s territory. To their surprise, the


    group of armed men began shooting at them.


    In order to keep udius safe, Joe and Allen had no choice but to drive the car away with the former in


    it.


    Unfortunately, the trio was outnumbered. Most importantly, the other party was armed. No matter how


    professionally trained Joe and Allen were, the situation was too tough for them to handle.


    Hence, Joe and Allen quickly brought udius to an abandoned factory nearby. They made sure to


    hide udius properly before heading out to deal with the group of eight.


    Since they did not have to keep an eye on udius anymore, Joe and Allen attacked their opponents


    mercilessly.


    Never did Joe and Allen expect the other party to be merely keeping them upied while two of their


    men sneaked into the abandoned factory to look for udius.


    By the time Joe and Allen realized that, udius had only managed to eliminate one person while


    another had aimed a gun at him.


    The chemistry between Joe and Allen was great, for they had worked together for many years. One of


    them distracted the opponent, while the other shot at him.


    Everything went smoothly until the opponent turned his head and fired a shot at udius.


    The bullet hit udius'' abdomen, causing him to fall off the tform. It took nearly five hours of surgery


    before he was pushed out of the operating room.


    Since that incident, both Joe and Allen made sure to stay by udius'' side all the time.


    Meanwhile, Bruce and Truce did not dare to pull any tricks for the time being after the failed


    assassination attempt.


    udius'' condition was Spencer''s only concern at that moment. Thetter watched Joe and Allen


    leave with the hospital bed before withdrawing his gaze and turning to the two chief surgeons. "How is


    Mr. Lenoir''s condition?"


    "The wound isn''t too serious, and although he had a great fall, the injury wasn''t too bad. Mr. Lenoir will


    be awake once the anesthesia wears off. Don''t worry, Mr. Lacroix."


    Spencer breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the doctor''s words.


    Rose had paid Spencer a visit shortly before her death, asking thetter to take good care of udius.


    Spencer was entrusted with a task.


    The fact that udius got into an ident a few days after Rose''s death filled Spencer with guilt. He


    didn''t know how he would face her in death.


    Thankfully, udius was only shot once and had no major issues.


    Two hours had passed by the time udius woke up.


    It was four o''clock in the morning and extremely quiet as there was no one else in the ward.


    udius tried to move and felt a slight pain in his abdomen.


    A frown instantly formed on his face. Hence, he stopped moving and simply stared at the ceiling.


    The sun had already risen when Sophia woke up.


    As her eyelids fluttered open, Sophie instructed Genie to open the windows. She then instinctively


    reached for her phone by her side and tapped on the screen to see if she had gotten a response from


    udius.


    It should be three o''clock in the afternoon there.


    Over twenty hours had passed since hisst reply. Just as Sophia was thinking about that, her phone


    vibrated in her hand.


    It was a reply from the man himself, reading: Sorry. I left my phone in the office.


    Sophia breathed a sigh of relief when she received the text. She responded: It''s okay, then got out of


    bed to freshen up.


    She had a lot of work to deal with at Odyssey after having skipped work for five days.


    She arrived earlier that day and hung out in the office for a while until Felix arrived. "Good morning, Ms.


    Yarrow," he greeted.


    Sophia shed him a smile. "Good morning."


    ncing at Felix, she asked, "What''s Percy up to these days?"


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Felix hadpiled the results from the investigation. "Here, this is aption of histest actions."


    Sophia nodded in acknowledgment. "Let me have a look."


    It took her less than two minutes to finish reading the report since it had little information.


    She could not help butugh. "He thinks he has someone backing him, huh? It''s no wonder he''s so


    bold."


    Bruce and the others were working with Percy, so thetter was pressuring her in Chanaea so that she


    could distract udius.


    They must be running out of ideas. I can''t believe they came up with such a lousy n.


    Closing the folder, Sophia said, "Since he''s so confident, then there''s no need to go easy on him


    anymore. Submit everything you collected in the past to the police."


    Half a year ago, when Alexander had just got into the ident, the people over at Odyssey were


    already looking to stir up some trouble.


    Of course, as one of the directors and senior executives of Odyssey, Percy had plotted his fair share of


    schemes.


    Unfortunately for him, however, Sophia had already dug out all the things he did. It involved a huge


    sum, so she''d have to be a fool not to notice the man''s tricks.


    The only reason she kept things civil between her and Percy was to avoid Odyssey having to go


    through too many significant changes. But when udius returned to Chanaea, many were already


    aware that Alexander was fine.


    As long as Alexander was fine, Odyssey would not fall. Furthermore, Sophia had proven, in the past six


    months, that she was more than capable of managing and developing thepany.


    It was finally time to get rid of the remaining scum in Odyssey.


    Simrly, Felix had been waiting for that day for a long time. After all, Percy and his minions had


    caused Sophia plenty of trouble during Alexander''s absence.


    Thus, Felix could not be more excited to hear Sophia was finally ready to deal with them.


    "I''ll get it arranged right away, Ms. Yarrow."


    Sophia chuckled at his words, for he sounded a little too excited. "Go on. I know you''ve been tolerating


    him for a long time."


    Realizing he had lost hisposure earlier, Felix hurriedly recollected himself and said, "I''ll get back to


    work, then."


    "Okay." Sophia then picked up a ballpen and lowered her head to sign some documents.


    Felix had only taken a couple of steps when he thought of something and turned back around. "Oh


    right, Ms. Yarrow, there''s something I think you should know."


    "Hm? What is it?" She lifted her head to look at the man.


    "A shooting incident broke out at the hospital that''s in charge of Dillon''s medical parole. He was held


    hostage and killed by the kidnappers."


    Sophia''s hand that held the pen froze, and a smile formed on her lips. "That''s good."


    Felix shared the same sentiment. "I thought so, too."


    He nced at her and informed, "I''ll get going now, Ms. Yarrow."


    This time, Felix left and shut the door behind him. There were no more details left out.
