Sofia was particularly careful to ensure Raphael enjoyed himself as much as possible this time, partly because Raphael was indeed very special, and with him...

He felt no psychological burden at all because his moral standards were much lower than Sofia's.

Sofia was happy to reciprocate earnestly, and she also experienced pleasure. She hadn't enjoyed pleasure in a long time.

Although her job was to entertain "high-ranking people," she usually just dealt with them casually and quickly exhausted them. But this time, Sofia took great care of him until Raphael had a real outburst.

Another objective, of course, was to make Raphael, after experiencing the ultimate pleasure, at the moment when his psychological defenses were at their weakest, ask or extract information about the other party's purpose in rescuing him, and which extraordinary organization he belonged to.

Simpler than Sofia had anticipated, after the pleasurable experience ended, Raphael began to explain his purpose in rescuing her.

While Sofia was overjoyed, she also had a strange feeling, as if she had lost something precious.

But when she thought of this, she immediately shook her head, not daring to think any further, because she simply dared not fall in love.

Raphael sighed and said, "Living is just too hard."

"Ordinary people have ordinary hardships, and extraordinary people have extraordinary difficulties."

He doesn't need to act at all now, because Sofia has already gotten into character.

Raphael paused for a moment and continued, "Wild extraordinary individuals often have to fight against loss of control and madness, and their condition can easily deteriorate if they are not careful."

"We belong to an extraordinary organization and have acquired some methods to combat things getting out of control, but at a limited level, so we're not too worried about these kinds of problems."

"But they were controlled by the organization and had no freedom at all."

Sofia glanced at Raphael but remained silent. Raphael's sentiments reflected her own.

Raphael continued, "The night before last, my mission was to assassinate a target on King's Road, but as I approached King's Road, my mission suddenly changed to rescuing you."

He mixed some lies into the facts: "I don't know why I rescued you, but I noticed that it must have been the royal family who wanted to kill you."

"My superiors have been investigating a conspiracy between the royal family and the witch cult recently, and I think they should use you as a starting point to gather intelligence—or rather, to use you to find witches of higher levels."

Raphael was not clear about Dawn Dantes's purpose, but with members of the royal family and the Witch Cult involved, he could roughly guess his intentions.

This was Raphael's plan: if he couldn't force them out, he would lure them out.

This plan is more difficult to execute and could easily fall through due to the other party's caution, but Raphael has to try before he can give up.

Moreover, Raphael felt that tonight's pleasurable experience was a perk of the mission, and he thought it was well worth it. After sleeping with the witch, he would never think about finding streetwalkers again.

Sophia knew they were talking about the most crucial point, and she said in a low voice, "Yes, they are indeed members of the royal family."

I'm not entirely clear on the cooperation between the "sect" and the royal family, but the fact that the royal family has started sending assassins to kill me signifies that our cooperation has broken down, or has ended.

Raphael hummed in agreement, then said casually, "I'm not sure what my superiors are investigating, but it seems very important, and they consider the Witch Cult a good starting point. As far as I know, my organization has been keeping an eye on several known witches, and you're probably one of them."

He said this in the hope that the higher-level witch behind Sophia would feel threatened.

Their communication was smooth at this moment, as it resembled sharing information they possessed with each other.

Sophia wasn't surprised by Raphael's statement that many witches had already been targeted, because she had already noticed that there was another socialite in Backlund who was a "witch." These socialites were the easiest to expose.

However, there was no other way, as the core members of the Witch Cult existed in a family-based system of inheritance.

Sophia is one of the extraordinary individuals trained by the cult. Almost all dangerous, despicable, and low-freedom jobs are done by extraordinary individuals like her.

Raphael continued, "When I rescued you, I saw such a beautiful woman, and I never imagined you would be destroyed in the battle between the saints."

He sighed and said, "If my superior fails to find a higher-level witch through you, he will definitely kill you. If he does find one, you will most likely be killed by your superior."

"You didn't leave yesterday, but you must leave this time."

Sofia gave a wry smile; without Raphael's help, her situation was indeed not very optimistic.

She gently kissed Raphael's chest a few times, then asked, "What's the name of your organization? How many extraordinary individuals does it have?"

Raphael said, "I'm the kind of guy who does dirty work for this organization, and I don't even know the name of the organization."

"I only know of one demigod, at least one Sequence 5, and two Sequence 6s."

Sophia responded with an "Oh," indicating that this was already a medium-sized extraordinary organization.

Raphael hugged the slippery Sophia again: "Alright, let's have one more day of fun. You should leave early the day after tomorrow."

Sofia asked with some concern, "Will you be in danger after you let me leave?"

"It's alright," Raphael smiled. "They still need someone to do the dirty work, and my job is always impeccable."

Sophia hummed in agreement; she knew Raphael was trying to comfort her.

In her view, Raphael was genuinely willing to risk punishment from his superiors and let her go.

She herself was part of an extraordinary organization and knew very well what this meant. After all, he had been promoted to Sequence 6. Raphael's superiors certainly wouldn't just kill him like that, but there would definitely be some punishment, and some of the opportunities for promotion that he originally had would no longer be available.

Raphael then started talking about some lighter topics, but Sofia was somewhat touched.

Over the years, it's not that no one has been willing to be kind to her, but she has always realized that those who are kind to her have ulterior motives.

Raphael, however, was different. He kept trying to get rid of her and refused to contact her again.

All he wanted was two days of happiness and two nights of pleasure.

After chatting for a while, Raphael's soft snoring could be heard, and Sofia held Raphael tightly.

This man, though cold all over, brought a touch of warmth to her heart.

She found that she was really reluctant to leave.
