Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 588

"Run! Little lambs, run!"

The mercenary's twisted laughter, followed closely by the sound of gunfire, had Sophie forgetting the pain in her ankle as she ran for her life, not daring to stop for even a moment.

"Hold on to me. Don't let go!"

James was pulling Sophie forward, but she could feel him slowing down.

The light was finally visible ahead, prompting Sophie to exclaim, "James! We're almost there!"

Suddenly, a grunt stopped Sophie in her tracks. She turned around and noticed that James' calf had been pierced by a bullet at some point.

"James!" Sophie cried out, and by then, the mercenaries had caught up.

Sophie fiercely looked back, supporting James up, and said coldly, "Did Odie send you?"

The mercenaries exchanged glances. They didn't speak, but their expressions gave Sophie her answer.

Facing the mercenaries with their guns, Sophie managed to steady her voice. "Odie likes to play the hunter and the prey game. I'm his prey. James has nothing to do with this. Let him go."

"Sophie!" James, fighting through the pain, clenched his teeth and angrily muttered, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I mean it! I never liked you. I don't want to owe you anything. Besides..."

James gripped Sophie's wrist tightly, saying, "Sophie! If you dare jump, I'll kill Colby! Do you hear me clearly?"

Sophie chuckled lightly. "What nonsense are you talking about? If I die, you know exactly who you should kill."

Sophie lowered her voice, whispering in James' ear, "Avenge me."

With those words, Sophie walked towards the cave's exit. It was a coastal cliff there, with a drop of at least five stories high.

"James, remember what I told you."
