A convoy of dozens of cars made its way towards the deep mountains.

Mr. Schuldt had specifically ordered the roads to be closed off.

His subordinate, a police officer, approached Mr. Schuldt with some confusion and asked, "Chief, are we really going to help Sophie and her team?"

They had deployed all available forces, blocking every possible entry into the mountains and even assigning extra personnel to assist Sophie and Colby. This seemed like a loss-making endeavor.

If Sophie and her team failed, The Silent Shadows would likely target them first.

Mr. Schuldt took a deep drag of his cigarette, then slowly exhaled the smoke, saying, "I'm not just helping Sophie; I'm helping humanity."

With that, Mr. Schuldt straightened the officer's cap and, abandoning his usual cautious demeanor, said sternly, "Remember, you're a police officer, and police have a duty to protect the people!" The officer was taken aback.

He had never expected Mr. Schuldt, who usually avoided taking sides, to say something like that.

Mr. Schuldt looked solemnly towards the darkening sky.

Night had fallen, and dawn was yet to break.

In his life, he had drifted through decades, witnessing many joys and sorrows, aware that the world was far from perfect.

Yet, he still believed in the goodness of the world.

As a police officer, his mission was to safeguard peace and combat evil forces.

This time, he was prepared to risk everything.

Even if the outcome was disastrous, it would prove that he had stood firm, made an effort, and made sacrifices.

He also believed there were many others in the world like him.

They might be momentarily dazzled by fame and fortune, but they would eventually realize that the world's beauty was a testament to nature's achievements. Only by loving the world could humanity receive the same love in return.

Sophie and her team were not alone; they were backed by countless. individuals yearning for love and

Throughout the journey, Colby held Sophie's hand firmly.

Sophie felt Colby transferring strength to her.

She gripped Colby's hand back and said, "No matter what happens, we must always stay together." Colby replied, "I know."

Harold, who was driving in front, went silent upon seeing this scene in the rearview mirror. Sophie was holding a gemstone, their trick to deceive The Silent Shadows.

The gemstone was reasonably well-crafted. Harold had arranged for its preparation, hoping it would buy them time against Wesley

However, the gemstone was not refined enough to fool Wesley for long.

They needed to rescue Jenna during this brief window of opportunity.

"Don't worry, William already said that Adler's injuries are minor, and he's already ahead of us."

"I wasn't asking about him."

Sophie's sudden statement caught Harold off guard.

"You know what I want to ask."

Sophie was staring at Harold, who was in the driver's seat.

She hadn't pressed the issue before, but that didn't mean she wouldn't.

Harold abruptly stopped the car at the edge of the valley.

The sudden stop caught everyone by surprise.

Unbuckling his seatbelt, Harold

promise you, once today is over, I'll tell you everything."

"Were you planning to keep it from me forever?"
