Chapter 1636
It wasn't that Sophie and her team were too weak; it was that The Silent Shadows were too strong.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Elodie spoke up, "Sophie, they all listen to you, and I believe you're also aware of the consequences of biting off more than you can chew."
"There's no need to try to dissuade me. We have our reasons for doing this."
"I'm not trying to dissuade you. Rather, I'm saying if you need me, I can join you."
Elodie said this with ease, causing a moment of stunned silence.
"What are you looking at me like that for? Do you think I shouldn't join you, or are you wondering why I would want to join you?"
Elodie continued, "Not to mention my relationship with Griffin and your team, but just by wanting to establish myself in Devonport, you've already helped me a great deal. I might not have much else to offer in assistance, but in this matter, I can contribute my bit." Jenna asked, puzzled, "Ms. Elodie, how do you plan to help us?"
"By working from the inside out, I believe our odds of success would be greater."
"I've previously collaborated with Joseph, and since I am a daughter of the Reeves family, Joseph has been rather lenient with me. Due to Joseph's connection with The Silent Shadows, they might also trust me somewhat. If you have any information you want me to pass on, or if you need me to gather intelligence for you, I think I can manage it."
"Ms. Elodie, you really don't have to-"
Before Sophie could finish, Elodie interrupted, "There's no need to persuade me. It's not just for you; James is related to me by blood after all. Consider it repaying a favor he owes me, and with this, I'll have repaid my debt to you all as well. Ms. Sophie, you just need to tell me whether you need my help or not."
After hearing this, Sophie was silent for a moment.
They needed her.
Elodie was a significant asset to them.
Moreover, an extra pair of hands meant extra strength. Sophie said, "Then we'd be in your debt, Ms. Elodie."
"It's nothing."
With that, Elodie brought out a

"This is the latest gadget developed by the Reeves family, not yet available on the market. I'll take these with me into the valley. The
talented individuals, and I don't think they'll reject me." Elodie continued, "This way, not only can I help gather information on how many people are inside and The Silent Shadows' arrangements, but if I meet their leader, I might also find out who he really is."

As Elodie finished her statement, her expression turned cold and deep.
Sophie noticed the change in Elodie's demeanor and frowned, "Ms. Elodie, do you already have someone in mind?"
"What? You know who the leader of The Silent Shadows is?"
Jenna was the first to express her shock.
The others also looked towards Elodie, eager to understand the meaning behind her words.
"I'm not certain, which is why I want to see for myself."
"If it's not the person I'm thinking of, then perhaps the situation might be a bit better."
"Why is that?"
"Joseph once helped me, and he would sometimes say things that didn't make sense to me at the time. I didn't take it seriously then. But knew that Joseph always had the support of a mysterious force behind him. That force was The Silent Shadows."
