Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1783

"I think Odie's onto something," Fiona murmured, just as her dad shot her a quick look. She clammed up immediately.

Sophie casually tossed a packet over to Odie, who glanced down and asked, "What's this?"

With a snack in hand, Sophie replied, "Something Isaac whipped up. It's the same stuff The Silent Shadows used ages ago. Don't tell me you've forgotten."

Odie hadn't laid eyes on this stuff in eighteen years. He took a closer look, opened the bag, and sniffed it. "It's watered down. Looks like this Isaac guy doesn't have much backbone. What a wimp."

If someone with more ambition had gotten hold of it, they'd have refined it further, like the potent products The Silent Shadows developed that still pack a punch even after eighteen years.

"I'll take this and check it out. Nobody's bold enough to sell this on my turf."

Sophie reassured him, "We're just handing it to you for a once-over. We know nobody would dare sell it on your turf."

Odie nodded, clearly satisfied. Her logic was spot on.

"But I've seen this before," Fiona blurted out, grabbing everyone's attention.

Sophie asked, "Fiona, where have you seen this powder?"

"At school. Loads of people use it to stay awake when they're tired. Some even offered me some."

Fiona glanced at Alec and added, "Alec saw it too. It's all over the school."
