"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.
"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.
