Kiran looked at Sandy and replied with a heavy heart, "Yeah, I''ve taken many lives today."


    Sandy felt a chill run through her. So it was true her brother had really taken out the Gibbs family.


    "Can''t you just stop with the killing, big brother?" she asked, her voice soft and a bit pleading. Normally, whenever she asked for something this way, Kiran found it hard to say no.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    But this time, Kiran''s tone was serious as he said, "Sandy, the world we live in is ruthless. It''s kill or be killed. I''m doing this to keep our family safe, for the thousands of employees who rely on us, and for you."


    After saying that, Kiran seemed to regret his words a bit and quickly added, "Just stay put overseas for now. I can''t guarantee everyone''s safety, but I can at least make sure you''re okay."


    Sandy was puzzled. The Pord family was so powerful overseas, almost untouchable. Who could possibly pose a threat to them? Could The Silent Shadows, as Sophie had mentioned, really be that formidable? Meanwhile, at the S&C Nightclub overseas, Sophie was busy managing Kiran''s overseas operations. Cassidy handed her some ssified intel they had gathered from members of The Silent Shadows.


    As Sophie scanned through the information, she noticed it consisted of industry leaders, entertainment icons, and powerful business figures. It seemed like anyone with wealth or influence had some connection to The Silent Shadows. Frowning, Sophie asked, "They all said they joined about twenty years ago, right?"


    Cassidy confirmed, "Yeah, over seventy percent joined around that time. That''s when they started building their empires. There are


    newer members too, but they don''t


    hold as much sway."


    "So, twenty years ago was when The Silent Shadows was aggressively recruiting. Most of today''s overseas big shots joined them back then." "Exactly," Cassidy nodded.


    "Twenty years ago..." Sophie mused.


    Joseph''s schemes began twenty


    years ago too. With so many tycoons Joining The Silent Shadows, how did the Pord family never get an invite? Caelum must know something.


    Thinking this, Sophie sprang from the couch and told Cassidy, "I''m stepping out for a bit. Hold the fort while I''m gone."


    "Got it," Cassidy replied.


    Sophie dashed out of the nightclub and drove straight to the Pord estate. When she arrived, the guards, recognizing her, immediately went on alert.


    "I''m here to see the head of the


    family. Step aside," Sophie


    demanded Despite not having any
