Chapter 179: Manipulation Done Right

Sophia was momentarily taken aback by Rocky's candid admission.

She did not expect Rocky to be so upfront about his plans to join the raid against her brother as his honesty placed Sophia in a difficult position.

On one hand, she did not want to provide him with the details he sought, as doing so would feel like betraying her family, however, on the other hand, Rocky was her only support system at the moment and had proven to be a reliable friend, so she could not outright dismiss his demands either.

If she denied him the knowledge about how to save his sister, their friendship would undoubtedly be jeopardized forever, shutting down her last safe haven.

Feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place, Sophia struggled to find a way out of this predicament without offending either side as Rocky, reading her conflicting emotions, did not give her enough time to think clearly about his request, as he pressed her for immediate answers.
