Sophia had experienced Elijah's immense power and didn't believe he was capable of invisibility, so she recounted every detail without reservation.
"We don't know if what you're saying is true or not, but either way, you've helped them. You're our enemy. However, we won't kill you yet. We'll wait until we catch Isaac and interrogate him to get to the bottom of this. In the meantime, I hope you'll cooperate honestly and refrain from any tricks," Elijah said lightly.
Sophia remained silent for a moment before replying, "Okay."
"In that case, just to be safe, we'll have to tie you up," Elijah signaled to Hannah.
Hannah immediately understood, pulling out a rope from her backpack and approaching Sophia to bind her hands. Sophia remained still, allowing Hannah to tie her up.
"Alright, let's go back," Elijah said.
The five of them returned to the front of the villa, where Charlotte was still exchanging blows with Isaac. Lily stood on the sidelines, while Bella and Katherine had just come out of the villa.
"Ugh, are they still fighting?" Elijah rubbed his forehead and called out to Charlotte with some helplessness, "Charlotte, you've played enough. Don't kill him yet; there are still things we need to ask."
"Tsk! Finally found someone tough enough to not worry about accidentally killing!" Charlotte muttered, stopping her assault.
Isaac immediately slumped to the ground, gasping for air. He looked miserable, his clothes shredded into pieces and his skin covered in crisscrossing wounds, some shallow with barely visible bloodlines, some deep enough to expose flesh and bone.
Blood flowed freely from him as if it cost nothing.
"Devil! This woman is a damn devil!"
Isaac's face was pale as he looked at Charlotte, filled with fear.
After a few rounds of fighting, he realized how formidable she was. She could have easily ended him with one stroke, but she didn't.
Each time, she avoided fatal strikes, playing with him like a cat with a mouse.
But Isaac dared not stop; he feared that if he didn't resist, he would end up like the guy from earlier, throat slit and dead.
He could only endure the pain akin to being cut by a dull knife, his inner fear growing deeper with each passing moment. Finally, it was over...
"Isaac, huh? Didn't expect to see you again," Elijah approached him, looking somewhat sympathetic.
Unfortunately, she's extremely cautious, always living on a boat with her brother, never giving him a chance. This time, hearing that her brother was injured by something in the sea and urgently needed treatment, we wanted to find a sensory ability user to guard against your invisibility user. So, we used medicine as bait, asking Sophia to lend us a hand.
But in reality, Theodore had no intention of saving her brother; he just wanted to wait until we took down Azure Isle and then get his hands on Sophia..." Isaac spilled out all he knew.
"It seems you're not lying," Elijah glanced at Sophia, who hadn't been paying attention to their conversation, instead staring at Bella.
Elijah's heart stirred.
"What? You're struggling to survive yourself, yet you're thinking of asking Bella to help treat your brother?" Sophia finally turned her gaze upon hearing Elijah's words.
After the outbreak of the zombie virus, Sophia and her brother were lucky enough to survive.
Their family had been fishermen for generations, relying on fishing for a living.
Seeing zombies everywhere on land, they chose to escape to their own fishing boat, avoiding the zombies while solving their food problems by fishing.
Occasionally, they would go ashore to collect other necessary supplies.
They had lived like this for ten days when, during a fishing trip, they encountered a strange and fierce fish they had never seen before.
Her brother, excited to hunt it, volunteered to catch it, but the fish turned out to be aggressive and bit him severely during the struggle, causing serious tearing wounds.
When they returned to shore, her brother's wound became infected.
Sophia hurried out to find medicine, but with too many zombies in the city, she was almost killed by them.
She had to seek help from nearby survivors she had encountered before, resulting in the current situation.
Witnessing Bella's ability, she was amazed. If her brother had received treatment from someone like Bella, he would surely have been fine.
Now, hearing Elijah's question, she mustered up the courage to say, "As long as you can save my brother, I'll do anything you ask! Even become your woman, I... I'm still a... virgin..."
As Sophia's words trailed off, all the women turned to look at Elijah.
Elijah: "..."
