Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1468

The Silent Shadows' underlings were now just lifeless bodies, lined up neatly in a row, thirty in total. Colby casually tossed his mask into a corner, revealing his face to everyone in the ballroom. The room was instantly filled with fear; no one dared to move a muscle. Everyone had heard of Colby's notorious reputation overseas, but they never imagined he'd have the guts to pull off a bloodbath like this right here!

A henchman placed a chair behind him, yet Colby didn't bother to sit. Instead, he strolled forward and casually pulled the mask off a pudgy man's face. A sly smile crept onto his lips as he recognized the man. "Mr. Robert, I've heard so much about you."

Mr. Robert was drenched in cold sweat, stammering, "I-I wouldn't dare... wouldn't dare..."

Colby, with a nonchalant air, asked, "Does your wife know you're here?"

"No, no, no... Colby, we're just having a bit of fun... We wouldn't dare cross you! Honest!"

But Colby wasn't interested in excuses. One by one, he removed masks from the faces of the terrified guests. "Mr. Quinn, Vincent, Director Lee..." he named them, each one flinching as their identity was revealed.

Pointing to the rows of people, he continued, "Zhou, vice president of Zhao Corporation, the new CEO of the Financial Group, President Liu from the overseas university, the Maxwell brothers from the trade company..." With each name, the room grew colder, as if Death himself was taking attendance.

Everyone knew Colby’s influence ran deep, even if he hadn’t been active overseas lately. When he finally announced the last name, the tension was palpable. Could he really kill them all? Surely not, it would cause chaos in the underworld.

Just as some were beginning to hope, Colby slipped on a pair of black leather gloves and loaded his gun. "If you're a member of The Silent Shadows, step forward now."

The room was filled with defiant cries, but Colby silenced them with a casual shot to Mr. Quinn. The room fell silent, fear gripping everyone.

Colby casually motioned for his men to clear the body, then turned to Vincent. "Are you with The Silent Shadows?"

Vincent shook his head frantically, "No! I'm not—"

Bang. Another shot rang out. Colby, unfazed, called out, "Next."
