Chapter 82 Sophie extended her hand and grasped the corner of Adler's shirt. "Stop." Adler turned around, his words muffled, "What?" "Was that you?" "What did I do? Adler paused, slightly stunned "The dean Sophie got straight to the point.
Adler thought for a moment. "Must be Colby." "Colby would handle this?" Sophie suddenly remembered the incident a few days ago beneath their apartment complex involving Nichole and two others. It really could be Colby.

"Save where you can. Adler responded succinctly.
Colby could dispatch eighty billion in assistance one moment and keep the company's lights burning all night the next, not to mention spend lavishly on real estate and luxury renovations, literally building skyscrapers from the ground up.
