Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1427

Upon hearing Jonah's words, Sophie couldn't help but furrow her brow. How does someone like Odie, unfamiliar with the area, just vanish into thin air?

"Odie didn't leave you a message or call before disappearing?" Sophie asked.

Jonah nodded, "My phone's been on the entire time, but I haven't received a single message or call from the boss."

With that answer, Sophie quickly turned to Colby, saying, "Colby, can you send out some people to look for him? Devonport's too big for just Jonah's team to handle."

"Already on it," Colby replied, not missing a beat. He'd been on his phone for a while now, having already sent his folks out to search for Odie.

Sophie murmured, a bit impressed, "That was fast."

Colby put his phone down and added, "I've got someone pulling the surveillance footage from around your place; we should hear something soon."

"Thanks, Colby."

Meanwhile, across the seas—

"Lost again! How do I keep losing?" Caelum's face was clouded with frustration as he looked at the chessboard, feeling as if his dignity was slipping away.

Gordon placed his chess piece down with a faint smile, "Caelum, now that you've lost, shouldn't you give me what I asked for?"

"With all the treasures the Aldridge family has, why do you need something from an old guy like me?" Caelum sighed deeply, but seeing Gordon's sly grin, he finally relented, "Alright, you can have it, but my son and daughter have gone missing in your Devonport. Don't you owe me an explanation?"

"You didn't tell me Kiran and Angelo were the same person," Gordon replied calmly.

With that, the two left the Pollard residence. Watching Gordon's retreating figure, Caelum took a deep breath, "The young will surpass us. If this young man had been born overseas, in a few years, there'd be no place for the Pollard family here."

The butler beside him said, "Sir, that's a bit much."

"Perhaps, but it shouldn't take a decade, just a few years," Caelum sighed, "Get those experts here immediately for a consultation. When Kiran returns, we need to find a way... to keep him from waking up."

"Yes, sir."

Back in Devonport, at the Minton family home—

"What kind of car is that?" Sophie asked, pointing to a black sedan that zipped by in the surveillance footage.
