Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 883

"Odie! Can you slow down a bit, please?"

Odie didn't say anything but did slow his pace.

In the center of the second floor, there was a huge platform, usually occupied by musicians playing their instruments. Today, though, Odie had a three-seater sofa placed right in the middle.

"Sit."

Seeing Odie motion for her to sit, Sophie frowned. "You're not planning to prank me, are you?"

"If I wanted to prank you, would I even need to give you a heads-up?"

Fair point.

Sophie sat down on the sofa, and Odie snapped his fingers.

"Are you going to perform a magic trick for me?" Sophie asked.

No sooner had she asked than all the lights in the room suddenly went out.

At the same time, Colby had also entered the venue.

The sudden darkness didn't cause any screams from the crowd. If anything, it seemed to heighten the festive atmosphere.

"I mentioned before that I wanted to show you the future of the Mintons' amusement park. Today, I'll give you a sneak peek," Odie said, moving behind Sophie with a slight smile. "Since we're partners now, I should show you something impressive."

Sophie suddenly felt a chill down her spine as a faint sweet scent filled the banquet hall.

James, who was on the ground floor, immediately held his breath when he caught a whiff of the scent and backed away to an open space outside the center of the banquet hall.

Colby also covered his nose and found refuge in another corner of the hall.

"What's that smell?"

Sophie only caught a whiff before feeling extremely nauseous. The cloyingly sweet scent was dizzying.

Then, the lights in the hall turned red, and Odie stood in the center of the second floor, surveying everyone like a king.

Soon, a group of sultry-looking women in provocative lingerie emerged.

Sophie's breath hitched.

Odie had taken things too far this time. The hall was in chaos, filled with the sounds of men and women having sex.

Instinctively, Sophie turned to leave, but Odie held her down, forcing her to stay seated on the sofa.

"Sophie, you've lied to me too many times to count. I had no choice but to use you as bait."

"Odie! What do you mean?"

Sophie felt aroused as Odie held her down.

A beam of white light shone on Sophie and Odie, drawing everyone's attention.

"All signals in the Dragonvein Hotel are being jammed. I figured if you were acting, Colby wouldn't let you take risks alone."

Odie placed his hands on Sophie's shoulders and shouted towards the ground floor, "Colby, if you don't show up, you're going to lose your wife!"

In the corner, Colby's brow furrowed.

Odie then said, "I'll count to three."

"Three!"

A cruel smile played on Odie's lips, "Two!"

Seeing Odie's hands tightening around Sophie's neck, James was ready to draw the gun holstered at his waist.

Odie's tone was playful, but only he and Sophie could hear him. "I'm about to count to one. If Colby doesn't show up, I'll believe you. But if he does..." "You're going to kill me?"

"I'll throw you off the second floor."
