"Since you don't have it in stock, then I'll go back and check myself."
Saying this, Odie attempted to rise from the bed.
Seeing this, Sophie and Colby each grabbed an arm, forcibly pushing Odie back down onto the bed, both with a determined stance. "You're not going anywhere!"
Colby said coldly, "Don't bother my wife with this."
Sophie also frowned, "You know The Silent Shadows are after you. What if you go out and get killed?"
"If I die, I die. Am I supposed to be afraid of them?"
He hadn't planned on surviving that time anyway.
Hearing Odie's defeatist words, Sophie's lips twitched, "Colby, I want to smack him."
"I'll do it."
Colby raised his hand to strike, but just then, Jonah entered the room and immediately stepped in front of Odie, saying, "Colby, our boss is still injured."
Jonah stood emotionless, blocking Colby.
Colby gave Jonah a cold look, which Jonah, despite his fear, dared not dodge.
"Stop scaring him," Sophie said. "Odie, your most important task right now is to rest and heal. Leave the other matters to us; you don't need to worry about them. Don't cause us more trouble."
"You..."
Just as Odie was about to retort, Colby firmly patted Odie's shoulder.
The force made Odie wince in pain.
"Listen, focus on healing."
Colby repeated Sophie's earlier words, then left the room with her, one after the other.
Odie was still reeling from the force of the pat, as Jonah said beside him, "Boss, you're injured. It's best to rest and heal."
"Am I to lie here like a useless person, unable to do anything? I can't."
Odie's expression turned icy.
He had never felt so helpless.
Odie shook off Jonah's hand, his expression dark, "I can manage on my own."
"Boss..."
"I said I can manage! Can't you understand?"
Seeing Odie's insistence, Jonah fell silent.
Odie tried to walk faster, but the tearing pain in his legs caused him to break out in cold sweat.
"Boss!"
Jonah quickly stepped forward to support Odie, who was about to fall.
As Sophie had said, just staying here to heal was already helping them.
"It's nothing."
Odie's tone was indifferent.
Jonah could only help him back to the bed, saying, "Boss, maybe we shouldn't overdo it. The affairs of the four major families have nothing to do with us. Gordon has already promised to help us rebuild the Mintons. You've already suffered so much for Colby and the others; that should be enough."
