Chapter 18 Sophia orders
This short sentence made Roger feel like he was falling into an ice cellar. His face turned pale in an instant, and he felt a gust of cold wind blowing from his back, and drops of cold sweat began to flow involuntarily.
"This... um... this..." Roger was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
"I was planning to use that small fish to catch a bigger one, but I didn't expect you guys to show up halfway through."
Madam Sophia tapped her fingers on the table. "You must take good care of that brothel that sells prisoners these days, because in a week, it will become an abandoned empty house."
Sophia's words gradually revealed murderous intent, and Roger subconsciously touched the soles of his shoes. Because Randy didn't let him bring a heavy sword, he secretly hid a spare dagger in his riding boots. He was just waiting to pounce on her if she disagreed with him. As long as he could control Sophia, he would still have a way to survive.
"Haha, no need to be afraid. Since I asked you to come here, I won't touch you." Madam Sophia didn't even look at Roger. She just smiled contemptuously and picked up the quill pen to play with it. "A spy from an enemy country is nothing. There are basically some in every city. If they are gone, they are gone. I asked you to come here to do something. Besides, if you fight me here, I can guarantee that you will die more miserably than anyone else."
Roger was stunned. He felt a hint of danger. It was like being stared at by a wild beast, like a thorn in the back, very creepy, but he couldn't break free, couldn't escape. There was someone else in the room, and it was someone much stronger than him. All Roger could think of were the two swordsmen who followed the Marquis's mansion.
"Um... Madam, you said, you said let us do something?" Roger silently withdrew his hand that was reaching for his boots and asked with forced calmness.
"You were able to solve the disappearance case on Klin Island and track down the culprit, which shows that you are quite capable. I recently encountered a difficult problem and have found many mercenary groups but still can't solve it. If you can help me solve this problem, I can forgive you for releasing the prisoner privately."
"And what if we fail?"
"This matter must succeed. If you fail, you will not even have a complete body left." Madam Sophia stretched out her hand and gestured at her neck. "If you are lucky enough to escape but fail to complete the mission, you will still die without a complete body."
It was a dead end, so Roger was not as scared as before. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead and asked, "What do you need us to do?"
