Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1768

Fiona's words came to an abrupt halt when James shot her a frosty glance. That one look was enough to shut her down completely.

“You talk a big game about protecting others, yet you've never faced anything like this. You're just dreaming.”

“But I doubt even you’ve seen something like this before...” Fiona mumbled under her breath, careful not to let James hear, though he caught every word crystal clear.

“Your parents and I have seen things way scarier than what you're looking at now,” James said.

Back in the day, The Silent Shadows involved way more than just fifty people. What they faced wasn't just the visible guns but also the hidden threats lurking in the shadows.

Hearing James, Fiona muttered even softer, “Anyone can brag. Adults just love to make things sound bigger than they are.”

In today's world, how could there be such danger? What kind of situation would need such a massive force? She figured it was just needless worrying.

James knew exactly how Fiona thought. Despite her training from a young age, she was still a sheltered flower. No matter the artificial challenges she'd faced, the real world was a whole different beast.

James couldn't believe Sophie and Colby didn't get this. They just didn't want to be too hard on their daughter. But with danger right at the doorstep, he didn’t want Fiona to be defenseless.

Alec was already surrounded by people. He had seen scenes like this before, but only in action films, not in real life.
