Changing Only For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 722

Chapter 722 Taken Care Of Business

How is that possible?

“What do we do? The five hundred million doesn't seem easy anymore. We're three men down.” Our opponent, on the other hand, did not even suffer a scratch. The difference in our skills is vast.

“What do you think we should do?” They're not going to let this slide even if we surrender.

Tristan successfully located Sophie. Upon seeing that she was unscathed, he heaved a huge sigh of relief.

“How are you? Are you hurt?” Tristan asked with concern.

Sophie shook her head.

“Don't worry. They were easy to deal with. I'm not hurt at all.”

I can easily handle a couple of hitmen.

“I'm glad you're fine. I was worried sick when I smelled the blood in the air.”

Tristan pulled the woman into his embrace.

Despite how much I wish to protect her, I never seem to do a good job.

“Stay here. I'll take care of the other two, then come back for you.”

I came here to ensure her safety. Now that I know she's unharmed, I'm going to eliminate the other two hitmen instead of wasting time here.

“Mm, be careful.”

She knew how trifling of a matter it was for Tristan to eliminate the two killers, so she could rest here with peace of mind.

Less than ten minutes later, Tristan took out another one of them.

After seeing four of his comrades dead, the remaining hitman did not dare to stay there any longer. Fleeing became the only thought in his mind.

As tempting as five hundred million sounds, I need to keep my life to spend it.

Of course, Tristan would not allow him to escape. Taking careful aim, he shot the latter in the thigh.

Despite his desperation to flee, the last hitman's thigh was hurt, and he could not do so. His prospects felt especially bleak at that moment.

Tristan took aim again and fired another bullet at his other thigh.

There really is no escape now.

Tristan aimed at the hand the hitman wielded the gun with and took another shot.

The hitman was speechless with despair and resentment. Since he's such a good shooter, why won't he just kill me with one bullet instead of shooting me all over?

The gun in his hand fell to the ground.

The hitman was panting heavily.

By then, Sophie arrived as she knew Tristan had taken care of business.

She walked impassively toward the last remaining hitman.

“Are you hurt?” Although she was aware of Tristan's skill, she wanted to be sure.

“Don't worry. I'm fine.”

Tristan strode over.

The hitman's eyes were filled with fear. “I'll tell you everything you want to know. Please, have mercy!”

Despite being one of the most ruthless killers in the world, he could not muster up an ounce of resistance against the couple before him.

Who are these people?

“Anything we want to know? No, there isn't.”

They are contract killers. Murdering in exchange for money is what they do. What is there to ask about?

“There's nothing I want to know. You must have killed plenty of people in your line of work, haven't you? I have crippled you, and you won't be able to escape the vengeance of your enemies coming to kill you. This is a punishment you deserve.”

The other four who died got off easy. The life ahead he has to face is the best punishment I can ever deliver.

Then Tristan fired a bullet at each arm.

“Don't worry. I'll call you an ambulance soon.”

As it was almost time, Tristan did not intend to spend another second there than was necessary.

Promptly, he gave Felix a call to deal with the rest.

Five hitmen died in Jipsdale tonight. As powerful as we are, we can't be leaving bodies strewn about.

Terrified, the hitman watched as Tristan walked toward Sophie.

“Are you in the mood for dinner? What would you like to eat?”

“I am in the mood. The deaths of five nobodies do not damper my spirits whatsoever.”

“I'm glad to hear that.”

My girl is different from all the rest.

Upon exiting the building and entering his car, Tristan fastened the seat belt for Sophie and planted a kiss on her forehead.

“Why didn't you tell me you had a target on your back, silly?”

It still scares me just thinking about it.

What would become of me if something happened to her?

“You had no way of coming quickly as you were driving at the time. It would only make you more anxious if I told you. Besides, I thought I could take care of it myself.”

“Don't do that again!”

Fortunately, she can fend for herself.

“It's all right now.” He must still be afraid that something would happen to me.

Upon receiving the call, Felix rushed over to take over. Meanwhile, Ysabelle hurried over to Sophie's condominium when she heard something had happened to her friend.

She stood outside in wait for a long time.

Sophie and Tristan saw Ysabelle waiting outside when they arrived back after dinner. Her nose had turned pink from the cold.

“What are you doing here? How long have you been waiting out here? It's freezing tonight!” Sophie hastened over to help her up.

Upon seeing her friend's safe return, Ysabelle leaped to her feet and grabbed her.

“Thank God you're fine, Sophie!” Ysabelle cried as she hugged her.

Tristan opened the door. “It's freezing out here. Let's go inside.”

Sophie dragged Ysabelle indoors. “Why didn't you go inside? Don't you know the password?”

“I forgot in my panic. My mind went blank when I heard there were hitmen involved.” The other incident still frightens me, so I came over as soon as I heard the news. I didn't have time to think!

“Get Ysabelle a glass of water, Tristan,” Sophie said. Ysabelle felt cold and stiff from being out in the cold.

Intending to give them time alone to speak, Tristan slipped away to bring a glass of warm water.

Ysabelle held the glass.

“Who sent them, Uncle Tristan?” This is the Lombard family's turf. How dare those people make their move here?

“Don't concern yourself with that.” A murderous glint flashed in Tristan's eyes. The Sable family does not need to exist anymore. Since it is death they want, I will oblige them.

Sophie knew what Tristan meant. Later that night, after he took care of business, Felix came over to pick up Ysabelle.

After they left, Tristan and Sophie snuggled on the couch.

“I've decided to eliminate the Sable family.” Tristan felt that Sophie deserved to know.

“I know.” Aside from challenging us repeatedly, the Sable family has gone too far by placing a bounty on me. It would be catastrophic if they were left unchecked.
