Chapter 1576
"Sophie... | thought you'd forgiven me."
"Colby, you're reading too much into it," Sophie replied with a hint of sarcasm. "I just used your network
overseas to give Kiran's crew a little wake-up call. Remember, you said you wouldn't mindusing your
resources for my entire life."
Colby frowned as her words sank in. He realized Sophie was deliberately making this statement, signaling to The
Silent Shadows that she had the Costello family's resources at her fingertips. But this move was risky-she was
making herself a target for all their firepower! There was no way he could let her take such a gamble.
"From now on, you can't-"

Before Colby could finish, the cell was suddenly swarmed by a group of black-clad mercenaries armed to the
teeth. Their swift, precise movements startled Gina, who was witnessing such chaos for the first time. She turned
pale with fear. Sophie hadn't expected this either.
Just then, a man wearing a mask entered the cell. He was tall and commanding, dressed in a sharp black suit,
with only his deep, piercing eyes visible beneath a white mask. "Colby... I've heard a lot about you."
The man's voice was rough, almost grating. Sophie recognized it-it was Logan.
Logan casually pinned a badge to his chest and said, "Allowto introduce myself, I'm Logan, one of the core
members of The Silent Shadows. It's a pleasure to finally meet Mr. Colby."
Colby snapped his fingers, and instantly, the mercenaries raised their rifles. Terrified, Gina ducked behind Colby,

amusement. "The Silent Shadows doesn't let just anyone walk away with someone we're interested in."
"I-I'm the heiress of the Spellman family! We're on the sside... letgo! Please, letgo!" Gina blurted
out in panic.
"What use do we have for such a spineless coward?" Logan mused, barely lifting a finger before one of his men
shot Gina in the forehead. She collapsed instantly, her eyes wide in shock. Sophie shot to her feet. "Logan! What

out at that moment. Logan began to close in on Colby and Sophie. They were clearly outnumbered, and it was
evident that his people had locked down those outside
Logan lowered his voice, "Don't think you can fool The Silent Shadows with these antics. You're not taking her
anywhere today." Colby's eyes narrowed.
Logan took a step back, "The Silent
Shadows doesn't want to kill you, but we are keen to collaborate. Joining us would be to your
advantage. The boss thinks highly of you both, so he's extending another chance. Join us, or face elimination.
The choice is yours."
Sophie responded coolly, "So... there's no third option for us to consider?" "Exactly," Logan said with a faint
smile.
