FreeNovelAngelo trailed behind Sandy, practically bouncing with enthusiasm. "I went to Devonport just to keep you safe, you know! It's all for your own good!" "I know, I know! You always look out for me!" Meanwhile, in Devonport, Adler and Jenna had been waiting at the airport for ages. Adler, with dark circles under his eyes, was so tired he was mistaking everyone for Sophie and Colby. "Jenna, we could've waited at home. They're not kids. They can't get lost, right?" Adler grumbled, "I could've gotten a few hours of sleep. I'll be driving while half-asleep later." "Fine, I'll drive then." The thought of Jenna's driving instantly perked Adler up, "Actually... I think I'm good to drive." At the airport, Sophie and Colby had just arrived. From a distance, they spotted the bickering Jenna and Adler. "What do you mean? You think I can't drive?" Jenna was tugging on Adler's ear, clearly irritated, when Adler quickly backpedaled, "No, no! Jenna, you're the best driver ever!" From the crowd, Colby coughed a couple of times.

Jenna also dashed to Sophie, exclaiming, "Sophie, have you lost weight? That place abroad isn't fit for normal people, is it? Did Colby take good care of you?" "Everything's fine, but... why did you two cin person?" Sophie glanced between Adler and Jenna. Letting go of Colby, Adler sniffed and said, "Jenna insisted on picking you guys up. Draggedout of bed!" "How could I trust anyone else with picking you up? Don't you know what's been happening in Devonport?" Sophie, noticing Jenna's furrowed brows, realized Devonport might be facing troubles. She asked, "What's been happening in Devonport Tately? Any trouble?" Jenna took a deep breath and revealed, "The day after you left, S Corporation and Tredgold Corporation were hit hard. Just look at the dark circles under Adler's eyes, and you'll know it's been tough." Sophie frowned, "Such a big deal, and you didn't even mention it?" velAdler grimaced, "We didn't want to worry you while you were abroad. Lennon is personally handling it, but Devonport has been chaotic lately. Suddenly, there are new underground casinos, and the Mintons' previously banned substances are circulating again, especially in nightclubs and bars. Sof our partners changed sides last minute. I went to confront them, and they dared to shut their doors in my face! It must be Odie and James stirring up trouble!"
Sophie paused, "Wait, what does it have to do with James? I thought he went abroad?
Adler responded, "Who knows if he really went? Who else in Devonport elseint has the influence to snatch so many of our partners?" Colby frowned slightly, deep in thought.

Jenna fell silent for a moment before saying, "There's something else..." "More bad news? Jenna, just spill it." "Gordon... he's fallen ill." At the mention of Gordon's illness, Sophie was taken aback.
