Chapter 1469
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Gunfire rattled through the old castle, briefly pausing before picking up again, each shot stirring more fear among those inside.
A man, visibly shaking, stood up and nervously raised his hand, stammering, âI, Iâm with The Silent Shadows.â
Not wanting to meet their end, others quickly followed suit: âMe too... Iâm in it too...â
Before long, nearly seventy to eighty percent of the folks in the castle were on their feet.
The rest, mostly people The Silent Shadows had prepped as âassets,â also stood, pleading, âSpare us... Colby, please spare us... weâre just hired hands, we donât even know whoâs running the show!â
The men and women who had been hobnobbing with the big shots got up as well. They were dressed in next to nothing, trembling in fear that Colby might just finish them off with a bullet.
âYou claim to be with The Silent Shadows... prove it.â
Colby leaned back in his chair, eyes fixed on the crowd that had stood up.
His crew had their rifles pointed right at these people's heads, leaving no room for deceit or sudden moves. Fear of a fatal mistake kept everyone in check.
âColby! Iâm a member of The Silent Shadows, Iâve got proof! Hereâs the badge! I swear, I really am one of them!â
As one person nervously flashed a badge, the rest scrambled to do the same, each holding out badges symbolizing their supposed membership with The Silent Shadows. The badges all featured a sun emblem.
Colbyâs men gathered up all the badges, handing them to him. He glanced over them briefly, then asked, âWhere were you the night before last?â
âHuh...â
âIâll only ask once.â
Colby casually tossed the badges to his aide, reloaded his gun, and the sound of it made everyone gasp.
âWe... we didnât go anywhere, honestly, nowhere at all!â
They stammered, struggling to string a sentence together.

ï¤Chapter 1468 Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace)
ï¤Chapter 782 Colby quickly realized these folks hadnât been anywhere significant, indicating they werenât core members, just financial backers for The Silent Shadows.
One man practically crawled over, pleading, âColby, even though weâre part of The Silent Shadows, we just attend fancy events like this. Overseas, everyone knows joining The Silent Shadows is a status thing! Just by joining, we can climb the social ladder quickly. We joined for the money, thatâs it!
Weâre nobodies, really! Please, Colby, spare us!â
These were high-profile individuals abroad, but in front of someone as ruthless as Colby, all they could do was beg for mercy.
Everyone knew Colby had a reputation as a madman overseas!
Nobody dared to mess with a madman, fearing theyâd end up in a heap of trouble themselves.
Colby lifted his handgun, pressing it under the jaw of the man who had just spoken, demanding, âWho are the core members of The Silent Shadows?â
âWe donât know... honestly, we donât! Weâre just minor members! Thereâs this unspoken rule; if you devote yourself to The Silent Shadows, itâll catapult you to the top, granting you high society status and wealth beyond your wildest dreams. Every month, The Silent Shadows throws events like this...
we just need to chip in some cash each month, thatâs it, nothing more!â
