Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1345

As Odie's crew rolled in, the tension in the room thickened like a fog.

"Just give it up," Odie said coolly, his voice carrying a chill that made the hair on the back of your neck stand up. "Your guys have been stopped by mine. They're not getting in, and they sure can't protect you."

The man let out a cold laugh. "So, after all this dancing around, it was a setup, huh? Like they say, the new waves push the old ones aside... But you really think I didn't come with a backup plan?"

Sophie felt her gut twist as she realized something was amiss.

Before she could do anything, a gun barrel kissed the back of her head with its icy touch, sending her nerves into overdrive.

Jenna's voice cut through the air, furious and sharp. "Kiran! What are you doing?"

Odie's face turned stormy in an instant.

Kiran's face was a mask of calm, the earlier panic replaced by a smirk that suggested he was enjoying the show.

"Bro!" Sandy was frozen in shock.

Colby, standing nearby, was frowning hard. Instinctively, he took a step forward, but the sight of the gun aimed at Sophie held him back. His fingers tightened around the grip of his own gun, waiting for the right moment.

Kiran's smirk widened just a bit. "Colby, don't do anything stupid. Sure, you're fast with that gun, but are you willing to bet Sophie's life on it?"

Adler pointed an accusing finger at Kiran, his voice thick with betrayal. "Kiran, why did you turn on us?"

Kiran shrugged, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "A bit late for those kinds of questions, don't you think? People chase money like birds chase food; we're all in this for ourselves."

He raised an eyebrow. "And frankly, explaining it to you is a waste of time. Ms. Sophie, I suggest you cooperate... or one twitch, and you're off to meet your maker."

James watched the scene unfold, his fists clenching without him even realizing it.
