Chapter 393: Killing
As promised, they ventured deeper into the forest.
Sophia's brows furrowed in confusion.
"I'm supposed to be the one training... John's only here to protect me... What kind of game is this supposed to be?"
Before she could make sense of it all, Hardy and John had already vanished into the shadows between the trees.
Brian turned to her, expression unreadable. "Would you prefer to start the training now or wait for John to return?"
"If you choose the former, we'll head to a relatively safe area. If the latter, we wait here. Twenty minutes."
Without a second thought, Sophia replied, "The latter."
Throughout everything, Brian only managed to keep her on edge. But John—John gave her a sense of calm.
She didn't trust Brian to protect her. Not even slightly.
All she could do now was hope that John would return soon.
Brian didn't look surprised by her choice. In fact, it seemed like he expected it. He said nothing, made no move to hurry her along. He simply waited.
