Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1758

Kiran was sorting through the latest info on the Pollard family. He set down his pen, rubbed his temples, and called out, "Come in."

Viona stepped into the room.

Time hadn’t really taken much of a toll on them; they still looked as they did in their youth, only now with a touch more poise and wisdom.

Kiran removed his glasses and said, "Check this out. These are all the goodies Wesley left behind years ago."

With that, Kiran tossed a packet of white powder onto the table.

Sophie moved closer and picked up the packet. Even through the bag, the familiar scent hit her.

"Where did this come from?" Sophie asked, curiosity tinged with concern.

"It leaked from our own ranks," Kiran replied, suspicion lacing his words. "Did you guys really clean out everything The Silent Shadows made back in the day? I’m starting to think you’re pulling my leg."

Kiran had put his faith in their abilities back then, so he hadn’t followed up on The Silent Shadows' affairs.

Yet, two decades down the line, their products were cropping up again.

"Like weeds after a wildfire, always sprouting back," Sophie said with a wry smile.

Over the years, they had tried everything to stamp out the underworld forces. But as long as human desires existed, these shadowy businesses would keep springing up.

"Hey, bro!"

Sandy burst in, looking a bit panicked. She held up a half-used bag of the powder and said, "I spotted students using this at school today. What’s going on? I thought this stuff was destroyed ages ago."

Sophie was shocked to see the powder in Sandy’s hand. "At school?"

Sandy nodded. She was a law professor at the university and had stumbled upon some students using it by accident.

Sandy explained, "They have no clue what it is. Several students are passing it around, some even rolling it into cigarettes. They say it’s a new sweet powder snack. I thought something was fishy, so I brought it here."

Kiran examined the packet and remarked, "This seems like a diluted version. It’s not strong, just stress-relieving, no hallucinations."
