Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1577

"I'm sorry then."

Sophie's words seemed to confuse Logan, and just a moment later, chaos erupted outside the cell.

While the mercenaries were still caught off guard, Sophie and Colby had already started taking action against the mercenaries on either side.

Meanwhile, Jenna and Adler, who rushed in from outside, quickly had their own team surround the mercenaries at the scene.

"Freeze!"

Jenna's gun was already pointed at Logan.

"Tell all your men to back off!"

Jenna's commanding tone grated on Logan, but he complied with her demand.

"I've been cooped up for way too long!"

Jenna glanced around and said, "Mr. Logan, right? We're leaving with our people. Got any problems with that?"

"Looks like... you were ready for this."

"Obviously!"

Jenna made a move as if she was about to go after Logan.

Sophie, not too far away, was startled and immediately yelled, "Jenna! Don't kill him!"

Jenna paused, "Why not? He's one of the bad guys!"

"...He saved me once. Consider this me sparing his life."

Sophie's eyes met Logan's.

"Exactly!" Adler chimed in. "You wouldn't believe how restless we've been, barely sleeping, snapping at everything! You should've clued us in on your plan earlier. Like today, if we hadn't shown up, you might've been in real trouble!"

"But... how did you guys end up here?"

To keep Jenna and Adler safe, Sophie hadn't told them anything. She thought maybe Colby had tipped them off, but it didn't seem like it from his expression.

Jenna explained, "News of your capture spread fast, with rumors flying that you were wanted for murder. The Silent Shadows were clearly using you to bait Odie into a trap! But James intercepted the news, filled us in on the situation, and pleaded for our help. That's why we came!"

"James?"

Sophie was surprised, her eyes drifting to Colby to catch his reaction.

Even though Colby's face didn't give much away, his eyes told a different story, full of jealousy.

Adler immediately picked up on the obvious tension.
