Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1448

"Nah, just pulling his leg."

Sophie shook her head and said, "Odie hid that gemstone so well that even The Silent Shadows couldn't sniff it out. They had no choice but to chase after Odie, which means he did a pretty good job hiding it. I think, for our safety, it's best not to know where it is right now. Otherwise, the next ones in trouble could be us."

"That's why Odie clammed up."

"I know," Sophie replied. "He's worried that if we find out, The Silent Shadows will start targeting us. So if he keeps quiet, I won't pry."

"Then why did you act like you knew?"

"Just messing around. If I guessed it that easily, my brain would be sharper than any of The Silent Shadows'."

"My wife's brain is always on point," Colby said as he playfully ruffled Sophie's hair.

"Cut it out. I think it's not safe to head back to Devonport yet. Since The Silent Shadows have folks overseas, they must have a hideout. While we're here, we might as well dig around and see if this so-called big boss is lurking abroad too."

"Sounds good."

Inside the car.

Jonah chimed in, "Boss, next time something like this goes down, give me a heads-up, will you? You can't just take off on your own."

Odie, still a bit miffed at Sophie, grumbled, "Now you're hanging on every word Sophie says."

"Ms. Sophie is just looking out for you, boss. They've been running non-stop, from Summerfield to overseas. It's been quite the journey."

Hearing Jonah's words, Odie fell silent.

His eyes drifted to the scenes unfolding outside the window.
