Chapter 1335
“Boss, Bernard is the head of Siren Organization. When 1-2 found out, instead of offing him, he actually
put a bounty on me. That means he’s betrayed Area Opaca. Did you take care of him?”
1-1, without missing a beat, gave a slight nod, “I did.”
Hearing that 1-1 had dealt with 1-2, Sophie was over the moon, “I knew I could count on you.”
After complimenting him, she rose to her feet and made her way over to 1-1, placing her hands on his
shoulders, “Boss, I’ve done a lot for Area Opaca. Don’t you think I deserve a reward?”
1-1 looked down at the hands roaming his shoulders, “What kind of reward are you thinking, Ms.
Ratliff?”
Completely oblivious to the murderous look in 1-1’s eyes, Sophie leaned in close to his ear.
“Since 1-2 is out of the picture, why don’t you let me take his place?”
“Sure, but…”
Seeing him agree but with a condition, Sophie was a bit anxious, “But what?”
1-1 didn’t rush to answer. He just picked up Sophie’s hand, and gently patted her palm.
“Ms. Ratliff, didn’t I say that operators are not to interfere with the players’ fates?”
Sophie realized that 1-1 was blaming her for killing Eleanor and quickly started to explain.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Boss, I broke the rules. I sent someone to kill her after the game was over. It was because of
Bernard’s underhanded manipulation.”
“He let Eleanor choose correctly, and then let her go. I thought she was someone who should have
died in Area Opaca, so I went after her.”
“Is that so?” In response to Sophie’s justification, 1-1 simply chuckled.
This eerie laughter was absolutely terrifying in Sophie’s eyes. But she thought, having exposed the
head of Siren Organization, her merits would outweigh her faults. 1-1 wouldn’t really harm her, would
he?

Who would have thought that no sooner had she thought this, than 1-1 suddenly grabbed her by the
throat, slamming her head onto the conference
table.
“How dare you kill indiscriminately without my approval! You’re asking for death!”
1-1’s grip was incredibly strong, and within seconds, Sophie’s face turned red and her body started
convulsing.
Cameron, who had been standing nearby, thought 1-1 would commend them for their work. He never
expected this outcome. Scared out of his wits, he rushed forward to try and save Sophie, but was held
back by one of 1-1’s men.
Unable to fight back, all Cameron could do was plead for Sophie’s life, “Sir, please spare my daughter’s
life for the sake of what we’ve done for Area Opaca!”
Indeed, they had helped Area Opaca with the list of Siren Organization members, but that was not a
reason to brag. So 1-1 didn’t even spare Cameron a glance. Instead, he was determined to choke
Sophie to death.
“She’s not dead!” Desperate, Cameron suddenly shouted out, “Eleanor’s not dead!”
“I saved her! Please spare my daughter!”
Cameron’s pleas fell on 1-1’s ears, and he slowly released his grip, “Not dead?”
Cameron broke free from the man’s grip, rushed over to the barely-breathing Sophie, and started
performing CPR, all the while tremblingly responding.
“She should be alive. She was still breathing when I rescued her. I’m just not sure if anyone came to
save her after I left.”
Cameron eventually couldn’t overcome his guilt, and halfway through his escape, he uncontrollably
turned back.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe exerted tremendous effort to pull her out of the sea and onto the shore. After giving her minimal first
aid, he abandoned her and left with his men.
The video was edited. There was no other way. He didn’t want to disappoint Sophie, nor did he want
Eleanor to die.
“Where is she now?”
“If no one else has rescued her, she should still be on the deserted island.”
1-1 signaled to one of his men, who understood and immediately left to find Eleanor.
Sophie, who was slowly regaining consciousness, lifted her bloodshot eyes and glared at Cameron,
“Why didn’t you kill her?!”
“I…” Cameron didn’t know how to face Sophie, and stuttered in response.
Upon seeing this, Sophie, filled with rage, grabbed Cameron by the collar, yelling hysterically.
“You knew how much I hated Eleanor! Why didn’t you help me kill her, why?!”
“Because…”
“Because Eleanor is his daughter.”
The words that Cameron couldn’t voice, were spoken by Sheldon, who was standing nearby.
Cameron looked at Sheldon in surprise, his eyes filled with confusion, as if asking how Sheldon knew.
