As they drew nearer to the base, tucked away beneath the facade of an abandoned structure, Sofia's curiosity piqued at the sight of the concealed entrance.

Aaron, taking the lead, pressed his fingerprints against the scanner, granting them access to the conference hall beyond.

For an entire hour, Sofia immersed herself in the intricate workings of their clandestine operations, methodically dissecting each piece of information.

Through her investigation, she unearthed the true identity of the gangsters—not mere thugs, but the esteemed Shadow Vipers, the second-largest mercenary outfit in the nation.

Renowned for their swift and resolute methods, they commanded respect and fear throughout the underworld.

The revelation left Sofia in awe, realizing the potential of aligning with such a formidable force.

""All members must be promptly notified of the change in ownership," Sofia reiterated, her tone firm yet composed as she acknowledged Aaron's efficient management of the situation.

With a nod of approval, she emphasized the importance of confidentiality, stating, "My identity must remain confined to our core members alone.

Make certain that everyone diligently gathers information on the Purple Star Flower within the next twenty-four hours."

In a moment of sudden urgency, a member rushed over to Aaron, bearing news that prompted him to exchange a puzzled glance with Sofia.

"The master has regained consciousness," Aaron exclaimed, momentarily slipping in his address due to his heightened excitement.

""Let me assess his condition," Sofia responded calmly, her voice steady as she stepped into the adjacent room.

Inside, she found Kab Ros encircled by the core members, their expressions a mix of concern and anticipation.

Taking a seat beside Kab Ros, Sofia meticulously examined his condition, her movements deliberate and confident.

With each assessment, her confidence in her medical abilities shone through.

"You can expect to be up and about in approximately two weeks," Sofia reassured Kab Ros, her tone imbued with unwavering assurance.

Throughout the examination, Kab Ros observed Sofia closely, his initial scrutiny gradually giving way to a sense of trust and reassurance.

He recognized in Sofia the qualities necessary to lead the group—a blend of skill, determination, and compassion.

"You will serve as the vice-leader of the group," Sofia proposed, her demeanor composed and assured. "Do you accept this arrangement?"

Kab Ros met Sofia's gaze, his eyes reflecting a mixture of gratitude and acceptance as he nodded in agreement.

"Yes, leader," Kab Ros replied confidently, accepting Sofia's leadership without hesitation.

""Very well. If you come across any information regarding the Purple Star Flower, be sure to reach out to me," Sofia instructed before bidding farewell to the abandoned building.

As Sofia made her way towards the main road, the distant cry from a nearby alley pierced through the quietude of the evening.

Although she was not one to readily involve herself in such matters, the familiarity of the voice resonated with that of her third brother, Tang Min.

Without hesitation, Sofia hastened towards the source of the commotion, her heart pounding at each step she took although her third brother was the one who always talks sarcastically,but he was the only person who genuinely shown care for Sofia .

Arriving at the scene, Sofia's eyes widened in shock at the sight before her—a group of ten young thugs mercilessly attacking Tang Min, her brother. fury surged within her as she clenched her fists, ready to intervene and rescue her brother.

"What a mess," Sofia muttered under her breath as she bravely stepped forward, her mere presence causing a momentary pause in the young bullies action.

However, their vigilance soon relaxed and their arrogance quickly resurfaced upon noticing Sofia's seemingly harmless appearance, foolishly underestimating the strength and resolve that lay within her.
