Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
"What are you up to?"
Sophie frowned, standing up. "I only told you all this so you'd know Kena's the enemy. And here you are, acting like you're about to jet off to Summerfield and confront her!"
"Doesn't she deserve it?"
Odie shoved Jonah aside, fuming. "I can handle being messed with by a woman, but who is she to toy with me?"
Sophie sighed, realizing they were missing the bigger picture. "Take it easy! No need to rush into things."
"How can I not? So, Summerfield isn't your territory after all!"
He'd just had a brief trip to Devonport and then back home. Anyone would be rattled by such a blow.
Sophie continued, "Going back now won't solve anything. The Mintons' affairs are a tangled mess. Sure, you're the head of the Mintons, but you can't outsmart The Silent Shadows lurking behind them. What good will confronting Kena do? Standing there, unable to touch her, won't that just be more frustrating?"
"Boss, I think Sophieâs got a point. Healing up should be the priority right now."
Jonah had barely finished when Odie shot him a cold look, effectively silencing him.
Sophie pressed on, "This time, I faked some surveillance footage and gave it to Kiran to make him believe The Silent Shadows took Sandy, sparking a conflict between them. But even Kiran couldnât handle Kena. Do you think youâre stronger than Kiran?"
"Sophie, what's that supposed to mean?"
Odie's face showed a flicker of anger. "You think I'm not as good as Kiran?"
"...That's just how it is, Mr. Odie. You need to face reality. Kiran's really got it going on, and if Sandy hadn't helped me, I wouldnât have stood a chance either."
Sophie was just laying down some hard truths, though they weren't exactly what Odie wanted to hear.
She added, "Let me put it this way, before heading back to Devonport, I gave Kena a call."
"Why on earth would you call her?"

ï¤Chapter 782 "Because I wasn't sure. I know the gap between us and The Silent Shadows is huge, so I called Kena to play it cool."
At this, Odie frowned. "Play it cool?"
"Kiran tracked down Kena because of the fake footage I created. But Kena doesnât know that. She might think Iâm crafty and suspect I knew she was with The Silent Shadows all along. So, sheâll be cautious before making any moves against us. Mr. Gordon taught me this trick; he said it makes people unsure of your depth, like staring into an abyssâmight be shallow, but seems deep and scary enough to make them think twice. Itâs my first attempt, so who knows if itâll work."
Mentioning Gordon seemed to change something in Odie's expression, calming him a bit.
He sat back on the edge of the bed and muttered, "...Oh."
"After all that, all you can say is 'oh'?"
Sophie raised an eyebrow. "Your reaction's a bit odd, don't you think?"
"What do you want me to say? That you're a genius?"
