Chapter 582
Suddenly, the butler at the door rushed in, anxiously saying, “Mr. Colby, Mr. Adler, there’s trouble!”
Colby rarely saw Gordon’s butler lose his composure and immediately realized something was amiss. He stood up and headed towards Gordon’s study.
He found Gordon, his expression grave and his face paler than usual. Upon seeing Colby enter, Gordon immediately said, “Call your people and have them come here right away.”
Colby asked seriously, “What happened?”
“Odie is here.”
That single statement filled the room with a tense atmosphere.
Adler asked, “Why on earth would Odie come?”
*I didn’t expect Sophie to be so appealing to Odie. It seems he’s taken her as his prey. The production team said they saw two men with backpacks entering that undeveloped area.”
Colby exclaimed angrily. “Why didn’t your people stop them knowing there could be trouble?!”
“The production team didn’t realize the danger. Plus, that undeveloped area isn’t usually accessed by anyone. They only purchased a part of it, and those men crossed the line unnoticed by the production team.”
At this point, Colby had no time to argue with Gordon. He immediately said to Adler, “Call our people, and have them come here right away!”
“Right!
“Right! I’m on it!”
Colby couldn’t care less about anything else. He dashed downstairs, and Adler quickly followed, shouting, “Colby! You crazy man! At least take some survival gear!”
That was an undeveloped area where a misstep could mean death!
Colby just grabbed his car keys and sprinted towards the direction of the island.
Meanwhile, Sophie and James had already arrived at the first supply station, which was a small tent prepared by the production team. It was stocked with energy drinks provided by the show’s main sponsor.
Sophie and James took a brief rest. When the cameras weren’t focused on them, Sophie turned and coughed twice.
James quickly noticed, asking in a low voice, “is your cold still not resolved?”
“It’s nothing serious. I took some medicine before we left. Sweating it out today should do the trick”
Sophie’s face was unusually flushed. James stepped forward, reaching out to touch her forehead, but she quickly dodged, saying, “Im really fine.”
“Why would
you come to film with a cold?” James showed a hint of anger.
Sophie explained, “I came to film so as not to hold back the team’s progress. Besides, it’s just for two days and one night. According to our pace, we should reach the destination by tonight, and Ill be able to rest well then.
“You…
“The director is about to switch back to us.”
The cameraman interrupted James, who had to temporarily distance himself from Sophie. He asked the cameraman, “Do you have a phone on you?”
“Yes, but…”
“Contact the production team, We won’t make it to the destination.”
Sophie frowned, “James, you…”
James cut her off, “I’m just saying we won’t make it to the destination. The prize can go to another team. I’ll walk with you, but if you get tired, we’re heading back immediately.”
Sophie remained silent while James looked at the camemman. “That doesn’t break any rules, does it?”
