Chapter 1451
Gordon casually reached for the badge on the table, and with a swift motion, a sharp metallic click echoed as he
expertly extracted a tiny chip from its depths. "This badge holds the secrets of The Silent Shadows," he
announced. "This chip is the proof of your membership. You lost it five years ago, but my team has managed to
find it. Isn't this chip enough to show you're part of The Silent Shadows?"
"You knew?" Kiran's voice carried a trace of caution.
If he'd thought Gordon was just putting on a show before, now he had to rethink his assessment of the man
standing before him. Could Gordon really have tracked down the badge lost five years ago on that treacherous
mountain road?

If true, then Gordon was indeed formidable. Finding a badge in the vastness of a mountain is like finding a needle
in a haystack, yet he had succeeded. The whispers about Gordon in Devonport were clearly not exaggerated.
Gordon alone seemed to outweigh all the Aldridge family's elites over the years.
"Since you already know, why did you callhere?" Kiran couldn't fathom why Gordon, knowing his ties to The
Silent Shadows, had summoned him.
After a moment of contemplation, Kiran speculated, "You want the inner secrets of The Silent Shadows from
me?"
Gordon chuckled softly. "Mr. Angelo, you're overthinking it. | simply promised Caelum I'd get you two back, so |
used a little trick. Now that you're here, my mission's accomplished."
Just as Gordon finished, Sandy's voice rang out from outside the door: "Brother!"
Kiran turned to find Sandy, bound by Rick, looking distressed. His eyes grew cold at the sight.
"Mr. Angelo, you've had extensive training. One-on-one, Rick might not beat you. My men are many, but ganging
up and risking injuring you would be dishonorable. So, | had to use this method. If you cwith my people to
the Pollard family, Ms. Sandy stays safe. But if you resist, I've got a hundred ways to ensure she suffers at the
Aldridge family. It's up to you to weigh the stakes, Mr. Angelo."

"Brother..." Sandy's voice was shaky as Rick pressed a knife against her jaw, the threat all too real.

If her brother didn't agree, she couldn't predict her fate.
"Sophie matters to you, doesn't she? My sister and Sophie are close... | doubt you'd harm her," Kiran challenged,
his eyes locked onto Sandy.
"I'm driven by interests. Ms. Sandy and Ms. Sophie's relationship doesn't concern me. Maybe you
should see if I'd follow through," net
Gordon replied with a faint smile, as Rick pressed the knife deeper into Sandy's delicate neck.
In no time, a thin scarlet line appeared on Sandy's neck.
Before Kiran could react, Gordon seemed to recall something and added, "Oh right, at my Aldridge Estate, you
stabbed Sophie in the shoulder, Mr. Angelo. You asked if she's important to me. | can say, without doubt, she is."
