Chapter 1431
Colt couldn't wrap his mind around what he was seeing as he faced Sophie and Colby.
"Surprised?" Sophie asked with a slight smile, adding, "It's a shame, but your boss never planned on rescuing
you."
Colt's head pounded, and as he took a few steps back, ready to bolt, he turned to see Officer Derick and the
other cops, who should've been out of commission, closing in on him. The officers quickly overpowered Colt.
"Is this skind of act?" Colt was stunned; he never imagined Sophie would pull off such a ruse to get him to
spill the beans. His face darkened with realization.

Sophie continued, "You're just too naive, and that's why you revealed everything so easily. Colt, tell us what you
know, and I'll let you go. But if you don't... who knows what might happen to you."
Seeing Colt hesitate, Sophie stepped closer and said, "You should know your boss isn't coming to save you. I'm
your only shot here. Do you really want to gamble on an afterlife when you haven't even lived this life fully?"
Colt's resolve wavered, and he asked, "If | tell you, will you really letgo?"
"Of course," Sophie assured him with a smile. "I'm true to my word. You should know that by now. Just tell me
what | need to know, and you're free."
"Alright, I'll tell you." Colt leaned in and whispered a few words to Sophie.
Sophie raised an eyebrow at his revelation. Standing up, she asked, "If | need to find Odie, where would your
boss have taken him?" "Summerfield," Colt replied without a moment's hesitation.
"Alright, then you're free to go."
"Ma'am! Are you sure about letting him go?" Officer Derick seemed taken aback. Were they really trusting this
guy just like that?
"Let him go," Sophie said. "He's no use to us anymore."
With Sophie's directive, Officer Derick had no choice but to unlock Colt's handcuffs. Seeing that they weren't
going to hassle him anymore, Colt stumbled away. Colby, standing next to Sophie, asked, "Do you believe what
he said?"

"Not a word," Sophie replied. "Since he's so loyal to his boss, once he's free, he'll head straight to the church to
find him. Colt was close to Joseph, so he must have had access to the church's inner circle. We just need
someone to tall him, and we'll find the church's hideout. Odie... might be there."
"My wife's a genius," Colby complimented.
Sophie looked at Colby and said, "You already knew what | was up to. | bet you had someone follow him."
"You cup with the plan; I just know how you think," Colby replied with a knowing smile.
To an outsider, this plan might seem suspicious. But Colt had been stuck in the police station for too long, and
after the beating they gave him, his mind wasn't sharp. With his injuries, he couldn't see the bigger picture.
That's how her plan sailed so smoothly.
Meanwhile, on the dark and empty streets, Colt staggered into a chapel. Inside, the place was solemn and
peaceful, with about twenty people sitting on pews, heads bowed in what seemed like earnest prayer.
