Eliminating Some Enemies in Passing
Despite their close collaboration, Benjamin's perspective on Irving differed significantly from Vicky's view.
After leaving Ocean Group, Irving quickly made his way to Starling City. During his journey, he decided to reach out to Sophia. She had previously mentioned she was on a very important mission, which was why Irving had gone to see James and Vicky first. He believed that Sophia must have completed her task by now.
The call connected quickly, and on the other end, Sophia spoke with an anxious tone. "What's going on? Why are you so urgently trying to reach me? I remember you as someone very composed. You shouldn't be this flustered."
Irving had left a perfect impression on Sophia. She viewed him as a powerful individual, emotionally stable and unflappable even in the face of threats from the Night Blades. Therefore, she assumed that Irving's call indicated something worse had occurred.
