"What's happening? It smells awful."
I clamped my hand over my nose and mouth.
The thick scent of blood was overpowering, like I'd walked into a slaughterhouse.
It mingled with the salty tang of the sea.
"Something’s off."
Alec could sense it too.
"Ma'am, they've slaughtered so many of our people!"
The leader of the group, a rugged old-timer, looked grim. "These were brothers who stood by us for years! The Silent Shadows are heartless!"
The west pier was a chaotic mess of bodies, scattered haphazardly.
Sophie fought to keep her emotions in check, speaking with restraint, "Have the police arrived yet?"
"They're on their way!"
Another bodyguard chimed in, "When I got here, all our men were down. Do The Silent Shadows even care about Devonport?"
Adler frowned, "Is this just a show of force, a declaration of war?"
"This isn't good!"
Sophie suddenly realized something, raising her hand, "Run!"
At her command, the surrounding bodyguards quickly retreated.
The lead bodyguard stepped protectively in front of Sophie and Jenna.
Suddenly, a massive explosion boomed from the sea.
"Mom!"
The sight made my face go pale with fear.
Just as I was about to rush forward, Alec stopped me, "Are you nuts? That's demolition!"
Alec pulled me back as we ran.
The explosions were relentless.
It felt like they were trying to blow up the entire west pier.
Alec and I had never seen anything like this.
The boats at the west pier were blown sky-high.
Metal fragments were flying everywhere.
