Just because she said she liked peace and stability, Colby decided to cut ties with the past. But what did that
decision bring?
It made their enemies see them as easy targets. They could only watch helplessly, with no chance to fight back.
She was too naive. Where did this saint-like compassion cfrom? Upstairs, Gordon looked down at Sophie,
with Rick speaking from behind, "Boss, should we tell Ms. Sophie that actually..."
"Sometimes, growth requires bloodshed. The more gruesome, the faster the growth," Gordon said indifferently.
"She has everything going for her, except her heart's too soft. Making her reassess herself might not be a bad
thing. If she wants to find the killer, she has to carve out her own territory in Devonport. To rule here, she can't
afford to be soft-hearted. What good is it to not provoke others if they don't provoke you? Only with a ruthless
heart can you stand at the top."
Gordon slightly lifted his hand, speaking coldly to Rick, "Go back."
"Boss, didn't you want to guide Ms. Sophie? Are you really going to watch her drown in guilt?"
Gordon glanced downstairs and said, "She's smart and not fragile; she'll figure it out on her own. She needs to
see the world more clearly than be guided or protected, to understand the rules of survival in Devonport. Even
Jenna and Adler have been through their trials, but she hasn't. Colby used to handle the dirty work behind her
back, but starting tomorrow, she'll have to face it all by herself."
As dawn broke, there was always an alley that remained dark, filthy, and hidden from sight. Colby stood there,

"Colby, everyone from the business building that night is here! There's really no one suspicious left!"

"These two, kill them."
"Colby! Have mercy, Colby!"
"It wasn't me! | had nothing to do with it! Colby!"
Colby's face was expressionless, devoid of any emotion. Hearing his command, Mr. Schuldt swallowed hard.
"Colby, this isn't right..." Before Mr.
Schuldt could finish, the men's
blades flashed, instantly slashing the throats of the two men. Blood splattered everywhere, and Mr Schuldt,
witnessing this scene, was
so shocked he couldn't speak.
"Clean this up."
Colby nonchalantly tossed two pieces of black cloth over the faces of the corpses. His men quickly dragged the
bodies away.
