Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1677

“You!”

“Sophie, stop wasting your time with him! I’m going to take him down right now!”

Harold had long since grown tired of Wesley’s cult-like ramblings. He raised his handgun, aiming to fire directly at Wesley.

However, Reece was quicker, stepping in to block Harold’s attack.

The two quickly became entangled in a fight.

Harold hadn’t expected Reece, who appeared so frail, to be such a formidable opponent in a fight.

Sophie wanted to step in and help, but Kena, who had been waiting on the sidelines, charged at her.

It was Sophie’s first time witnessing Kena’s agility; the first two moves nearly had her overpowered.

Kena, with a hint of amusement, looked at Sophie, who was only trying to dodge, and said, “Ms. Sophie, is this all you’ve got? Doesn’t seem very strong to me.”

Sophie frowned.

Colby and Adler were quick to provide support to Sophie and Harold, but suddenly, ten men in black swarmed into the corner of the room.

The ten men surrounded Colby and Adler, plunging into a chaotic battle.

Meanwhile, Sophie and Harold found themselves gradually pushed back by Kena and Reece, in the vast church, they couldn’t get anywhere near Wesley!

“Oh, I know why you’re so weak now, because you're holding the crystal, right?”

Kena’s gaze fell on the box in Sophie’s hands.

But she wasn’t really concerned about the box Sophie was holding, because she knew very well that the crystal inside must be fake!

So, Kena wasn’t in a rush to snatch the crystal from Sophie’s hands but instead was gradually wearing Sophie down.

Sophie quickly scanned her surroundings.

“I’ll give it to you! But you should at least... let us see Jenna.”

“Are you trying to make a deal with me?”

Wesley said indifferently, “You don’t have any bargaining chips here.”

“If you don’t agree, I’ll detonate the bomb, and we’ll all die here together.”

Sophie revealed a detonator she had hidden in her pocket: “Mr. Wesley, the bomb I have is enough to destroy this church and all your laboratories. Your research will be ruined by this explosion! We just want to see our friend, just to make sure Jenna is alright, and then I will hand over the crystal willingly.”

“Master! Don’t listen to Sophie! The crystal in her hands must be fake!”

Kena’s face turned sour.

She refused to believe that the crystal in Sophie’s hands was real!

“If I guess correctly, the greatest power of the crystal is to alter magnetic fields, to reverse time. You want to use the crystal to support the Earth’s magnetic field, which requires a complex and sophisticated device. The Silent Shadows have been brainwashing wealthy businessmen for years, just to have them provide the funds for your experiments. But you didn’t just take money from these businessmen; you also took talent! You’ve used geniuses from all over the country to create complex devices that can analyze the composition of the crystal, hoping to break through the current limits of human civilization. But the device you’ve spent so much to research can only afford to fail once, otherwise, you wouldn’t waste so much effort trying to mislead us. Because you can’t afford to gamble! If the crystal Odie has is fake, then the device you painstakingly hoped to create your perfect empire with will be ruined. Am I right?”
