NovelEnglishChapter 1771
Meanwhile, over at the Pollard estate abroad, things were getting intense. Sophie and Colby had been burning
the midnight oil, combing through every possible lead overseas. Kiran had his team meticulously go over all the
intel Adler had dug
up.
"We've got him!" Sandy burst into Kiran's office, clutching a stack of freshly printed reports.
Sophie and Colby, who hadn't caught a wink of sleep in two days, were jolted awake by the news.
"Quick, is it this guy?" Sandy said, spreading the documents across the table for everyone to see.
The profile showed a man in his forties. He had a face that was both distinguished and rather handsome.
Sophie studied the photo, her expression turning icy. The man in the picture was none other than Isaac, who had
been kicked out of the Russell family ages ago.
"This guy studied IT in college, but let's just say his grades didn't set the world on fire. After graduating, he opted
for a gig at an electronics store rather than furthering his studies. He's got a rap sheet too-got into fights back in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe day and was constantly in trouble at school. Plus, he's from Devonport," Sandy explained.
Sandy didn't know Isaac personally. The report listed him under the alias Ethan Scott.
With this revelation, Sophie realized why their search had been all over the place. Their adversary wasn't some
mastermind like The Silent Shadows; all their previous theories were complete bunk. Turns out, Adler was right
all along. Their opponent was a nobody, barely even a blip on the radar.
Seeing the change in Sophie's expression, Sandy asked, "Sophie, is everything okay?"
"This man is my cousin," Sophie replied.
"What?" Sandy was stunned. "Your cousin? Why would he do such awful things? I've never even heard about
your cousin."
"He was booted from the family over twenty years ago," Sophie said, shaking her head.
She never imagined Isaac would resurface after two decades, wrapped up in such nefarious activities.
"If it's Isaac, | doubt we'll have much trouble dealing with him," Sophie said softly.
Talent might be something you're born with, but achievements are earned. Isaac had neither, lacking both the
natural gifts and the motivation to strive for more.
The files painted a picture of his tough life after being ousted from the family, But Sophie's mind buzzed with
questions-what had Isaac been through in the past
twenty years? How did he get mixed up with The Silent Shadows?
MS
Logically, The Silent Shadows wouldn't bother with someone like Isaac. The big crackdown years ago should
have caught even someone as slippery as him.
There was only one explanation.
Isaac must have stumbled upon the hallucinogenic powder after The Silent Shadows’ collapse. This discovery led
to two decades of tinkering and development
The Silent Shadows had laid down the blueprint ages ago; sticking to the path would have been a no-brainer. But
Isaac's
short-sightedness led him to spread the powder recklessly among the lower ranks, sparking their suspicions.
