Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

"Sophie said... The gemstone Mr. Odie provided is a fake."

"That's impossible!"

Odie, who had been standing in the hall with Reece, rose to his feet, his face darkening.

The gemstone he had given was indeed real; there was no possibility it was fake.

"Odie, are you playing us?"

Kena's piercing gaze landed on Odie.

"What I provided was real; there's no way it was fake. Sophie is talking nonsense."

"Whether it's nonsense or not, won't we know once we see it?"

Reece, however, was not in a hurry.

The other party had already requested a meeting, but the condition for providing the gemstone was to meet with the master of The Silent Shadows. This indeed sounded like a condition Sophie would propose.

Hearing what Reece said, Kena scoffed and said, "She thinks she can just meet with the master whenever she likes? Don't make me laugh."

"The gemstone is very important to the master; I actually think he will agree."

Reece turned off his cellphone, and Kena coldly said, "Don't tell me you've actually fallen for Sophie. You're always leaving her a way out; is it because you don't want to kill her?"

"I'm not like you; I don't delight in killing," Reece said lightly. "As long as she doesn't hinder me, there's no need for me to eliminate her. You, on the other hand, are constantly on a killing spree, essentially making enemies for The Silent Shadows. In my view, you're just venting your frustrations and satisfying your own desires, not truly acting for The Silent Shadows."

"What do you know? I'm instilling fear for The Silent Shadows! I want them to understand the consequences of betraying us. They can only bow before us and are only fit to submit to us!"

Kena clenched her fists, her eyes filled with malice: "I will let the master know that I am the most suitable successor. Only I can uphold the will of The Silent Shadows, and you... you're not fit at all!"

With that, Kena turned and went upstairs.

Reece showed no reaction to Kena's statement.

It seemed he had already anticipated what Kena would say.

He was utterly tired of everything The Silent Shadows did, always preferring to take the path of least resistance, never taking things seriously.

But when it came to the gemstone, he couldn't just brush it off.

"If that gemstone is fake, do you know what your fate will be?"

Reece's gaze shifted to Odie, who was not far away.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Odie's defection was within his expectations.

During the two years by Sophie's side, he had gotten to know every person around her.

He could also see that Odie's apparent disdain for Sophie was just a facade; his care for her was all too evident.

As long as the gemstone remained in Odie's possession, Sophie and her allies were in danger.

Odie said, "The gemstone is real; I have no reason to deceive you."

"But do you not realize that by giving us the gemstone, you're hastening the destruction of this world?"

Hearing Reece's words, Odie scoffed

coldly, "I'm no saint. I, Odie, am a villain through and through; I don't care about the lives of others. I only protect those I wish to protect. Whether the world is destroyed or

not whether others live well or not,

what does it have to do with me?"

In this world, there was never anyone he truly cared about.

If he hadn't met Sophie, if he didn't harbor hatred towards Colby, he might have just drifted through life aimlessly.

In a world filled with coldness and

numbness, betraying the world

protect that little warmth in het

heart

seemed like nothing at all.
