Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1784

Alec had heard all kinds of tales about the past. Twenty years ago, the Four Families faced a major crisis, nearly being wiped out by The Silent Shadows, with infighting almost tearing them apart.

In these tough times, Fiona's parents, along with the Four Families, teamed up with allies from Summerfield, Duskhaven, and even abroad from Harbor City to take on The Silent Shadows. In the end, they managed to defeat them.

Seeing Fiona unusually on top of her homework made Alec uneasy. "Fiona, what are you up to?"
