Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

The members of The Silent Shadows instantly vanished into the mist, leaving only the man who had been leading them to remove his mask. James frowned.

This was all he could do now.

Meanwhile, Sophie and Colby were retreating towards the outside of the valley.

During their conversation with that man, Sophie had noticed something was off with his leg, and the man had also tapped his own leg lightly with his fingers, as if hinting at something.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

So, Sophie was even more convinced the man they had been talking to was James.

James had given them a false proposition.

First, Jenna was inside.

Second, as long as they could find Jenna, the boss would meet with them.

Third, once terms were agreed upon, the boss would let them leave.

These points seemed reasonable, but they made no sense at all.

They had always been the passive party, with the active party being the boss of The Silent Shadows. They had done so much just to actively meet with the boss. If the boss truly wanted to meet them, there was no need to go through the trouble of taking Jenna. Even if the boss had taken Jenna, it was surely to exchange Jenna for the gemstone they had.

How could there possibly be negotiations?

If The Silent Shadows truly had taken Jenna, then they currently had no leverage to negotiate with The Silent Shadows. Without any leverage to negotiate, how could the boss possibly let them leave?

These logically inconsistent points must be the message James wanted to convey. Everyone was a businessperson here, especially sensitive when it came to negotiations.

James was telling them that a trap lay ahead, and Jenna was not in the valley at all.

Sophie and Colby quickly returned to their car, and the members of The Silent Shadows did not pursue them.

An off-road vehicle sped away from the valley.

Meanwhile, Kena who had reached

the valley found no one there. Her expression darkened, and she abruptly kicked one of her men.

"How could a person just disappear?

did you do? Useless!

"Miss, we didn't do anything. It was all him! He was the one talking to Sophie! It has nothing to do with us!"

The man pointed at James not far away.

Kena's gaze finally settled on James. She sneered, "James? I knew you intended to let them go. You never truly wished to join The Silent Shadows. You wanted to help them, right?" en

Kena approached James, her voice cold: "To be so shamefully abandoned by a woman, to fall from grace for love, Mr. Burke... I really don't see what's so good about that woman, Sophie. To expose your identity for her, is it worth it?"

James's expression remained indifferent, offering no answer to Kena.

Kena stepped back, saying, "The boss trusts you, but I don't. You've made such a big mistake, ruining the boss's plan. I doubt anyone could save you now." With that, Kena immediately ordered her men with a cold command: "Seize him!"

"Who dares?"

James's voice was cold: "Letting them go was the boss's will. I acted under orders. How dare you arrest me?"

"You're lying!"
