Joe was confident at the start. After all, these people had gone through rigorous training.

If not for these people, he would not be living such a comfortable life.

However, when he saw the guards falling one after another, he realized something was terribly amiss.

It seemed like he had crossed the wrong person that day.

Immediately, he ditched his men to flee.

He had supervised the construction of the palace, so he was familiar with the entire place. Immediately, he scurried into a spot full of hidden traps. That spot had been built exactly for a situation like this.

Once he was inside, he curled his lips into a smirk.

If they dared to enter the place, he was going to make sure that they were dead meat.

If they did not have the courage to enter, he would be able to avoid getting caught. Hence, Joe relaxed, and he even felt that he could have some red wine in the meantime.

On the other side, when Sophie saw Joe fleeing, she turned to the other two to say, “I’ll leave this place to you. I’m going to head over to take a look instead.”

After taking down another guard, Tristan turned to see her about to run after Joe. Thus, he quickly muttered some instructions to Bertram before hurrying after Sophie.

He soon caught up with her.

“I’ll come with you.”

How could he possibly let her go anywhere alone in this place?

Charles, who found out that Sophie and Tristan had gone after Joe, contacted them with the Bluetooth device.

“Don’t go after him. He went inside a trap room!”

They did not know what kind of hidden mechanisms were inside, but they knew no one could come back out of the room alive.
