FRIENDS NOT FOES

Sofia decided to leave Qin Yu alone to allow him time to think things through. She didn't want him to decide on something he'd regret at the end of the day. After all, he was dealing with his father. Sadly, they didn't have much time to think.

If Sofia could hear the footsteps moving closer to them, there's no way that Qin Yu didn't. It was getting closer and closer and she could tell that there several people coming at them. If she guessed it correctly, they were the guards that she successfully evaded earlier.

They could hear doors being slammed open and Qin Yu was still sitting on his bed.

"They're here to kill me, right?" Sofia questioned, trying to ease the sadness that the man was feeling at the moment. There's no way he couldn't be sad. "I will leave for a moment. I'll come back again to talk to you."

"There's no need to leave. You can go ahead and kill all of them."

"Ha?"

"Just kill them. And kill me."
