Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 956

Hearing Sandy's voice, Angelo bolted in her direction without a second thought.

Sophie was right on his heels. As they entered, they saw Sandy being hassled by a group of middle-aged goons.

Sandy, dressed in a blue and white checkered mini skirt with her golden curls cascading down her back, looked every bit the spoiled princess from a wealthy family.

Sophie couldn't help but feel a twinge of concern. Sandy’s outfit was practically a beacon for unwanted attention in a place like this. Any hope of keeping a low profile for their investigation was now out the window.

"Back off, all of you!"

Angelo stepped in front of Sandy, his imposing six-foot frame and straight posture instantly commanding attention.

"Brother! They dared to touch me! Cut off their hands! I want them fed to the dogs!" Sandy fumed.

Angelo's initial bravado caught in his throat as he noticed the thugs' expressions darkening.

Sandy had often spouted such threats abroad without consequence, but this was Devonport. Here, such boldness could easily earn them a beating.

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Sophie stepped forward. "We're all here to have a good time. No need to get rough with a girl."

The lead thug, eyeing Sophie up and down despite her casual clothes and lack of makeup, smirked. "Oh, another hero, huh? Pretty, too. How about you and your sister keep us company tonight, and we'll call it even? Otherwise, things might get nasty."

"How dare you!" Sandy snapped. "Do you even know who you're talking to?"

Sandy, unable to bear the insult, moved to slap the man, but Sophie stopped her. "So, you're a big deal in Devonport, huh?"

"Damn right!" the greasy man leered. "Stick with me, and I might even pay you a little."

Just as his hand reached for Sophie, the arcade doors burst open. A flood of people armed with stun batons rushed in.

Colby strolled in through the haze, casually waving away the smoke. With a frown, he commanded, "Take them all down."

"Yes, sir!"

The Costello family's well-trained guards swiftly subdued the thugs, pinning them to the ground in no time.
