Adler shook his head.
Sophie said, "It seems like Wesley still remembers the bond between you and your father, so he ordered his men to send you back."
"If Jenna sees me like this, she'll lecture me again."
A bitter smile appeared on Adler's face as he mentioned this.
What Jenna disliked the most was seeing him covered in wounds. Even though Jenna never voiced her concern, it didn't mean she wasn't worried.
The last thing Adler wanted was to see Jenna worried about him.
"But... Jenna must be in his hands."
Adler looked at Sophie and Colby with certainty and said, "The master of The Silent Shadows is Wesley. Tredgold Corporation is just a façade. The Silent Shadows has been established for a century, almost appearing at the same time as the four major families. So, I believe… the original founder of The Silent Shadows must have been my grandfather."
Upon hearing this, Sophie and Colby exchanged glances.
They had already come to this conclusion.
But Adler's confirmation solidified it.
"This might complicate things," Harold said. "The Tredgold family is one of the four major families. They know all the secrets of the four families as if they were their own. Wesley is most familiar with all our arrangements and businesses. This also explains why the previous attacks against us were so successful."
Adler anxiously said, "Regardless if Jenna is there or not, I have to go look for her! We'll organize a team and break in to rescue Jenna!"
Harold said, "But we've already alarmed them. Going now, we might fall into a trap."
Adler replied, "I've already seen the inside of the valley. The place is tightly secured. The entrance is hidden by a natural mountain range and hard to find without a careful search, plus it requires the fingerprint of a core member to unlock. Once inside, there's a long corridor. Infrared and security systems are all top-notch. If it wasn't for me taking Kena in this time, we might not have been able to find the entrance."
"Infiltrating the system should be your forte."
Colby looked at Adler and said, "The Silent Shadows took Jenna but haven't harmed her. They probably won't harm Jenna for a short period, giving us time to set up a tight surveillance."
"It's not that simple," Adler shook his head and said, "They're not releasing Jenna because of the raw gemstone."
