Chapter 1628
His voice low but not rejecting.
To him, Sophie and her crew were insignificant. A century ago, the Four Great Families might have been an unshakeable force.
But a hundred years have passed, and the foundations of the Four Great Families have been shaken. The Silent Shadows, on the other hand, have grown stronger, unchallenged by anyone.
For the sake of the gemstone, he was willing to meet with these people.
He also wanted them to understand that the power of The Silent Shadows was not something a few youngsters could contend with.
"Tell them, only I can set the time and place. Have them prepare the gemstone. If what they bring is a fake, they would have deceived the divine, and those who deceive the divine must face the most severe punishment." "Understood."
As Reece was about to leave, Kena stepped forward, her voice cold, "I protest. We should eliminate the people from the Four Great Families, then seize the gemstone, the Four Great Families, and the S Corporation." In her eyes, the Four Great Families were less than ants before them.
They could use every means to seize what was in their hands; there was no need to beat around the bush with them.
The leader spoke slowly, "God shows mercy to all beings. I will give them a chance to live. As long as they are willing to submit, why should I kill them?"
With that, Kena dared not object further.
From a corner, a figure stepped out. Logan asked, "What about the gemstone Odie turned in?"
"Among the two gemstones, only one is real. All will be revealed."
The leader, a smile in his eyes, told Logan, "The time is almost up. The task of blessing Odie will be yours to carry out."
Logan frowned slightly.
When Logan and Reece left the church.
Reece then said, "You didn't have to join The Silent Shadows. The Burke family has severed ties with The Silent Shadows; why bother getting involved again?" "I'm not doing this for myself. You know very well whom I'm doing it for."
James removed the mask from his face, his voice cold, "My father joined The Silent Shadows and met such a fate. Lam not like him. What I Want Jam© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
is for the person I wish to protect to be safe."
He had no family left in this world. For over twenty years, his sole belief was to expand the family business his life consumed by work and profit, neglecting the person he loved a regret he carried for a lifetime.
Now, free from all shackles, he also had his own purposes.
"I won't expose you, but I also want to tell you, don't try to oppose The Silent Shadows. Your little schemes mean nothing in the eyes of our leader."
Reece had warned James before, hoping he would reconsider after their last conversation and leave The Silent Shadows.
But James wouldn't listen.
There was nothing more to be done.
Reece left the church entrance,
tossing a potion to James before he left, leaving behind only a sentence, "After you meet Odie, you'll understand what a blessing truly is."
Blessing, a term that sounded benign, but only they knew it was anything but.
