Watching Liliana and her crew's stunned faces, Yoel and the Judge smirked. Thinking they could outsmart their boss in a gamble was like bringing a knife to a gunfight. They were way out of their league! The Black Shadows, with their legions of members, were a force to be reckoned with. They had their fair share of oddballs and geniuses.

And also what happened within the shadows,” Alpha Paul asked. “What you have to understand about the shadows is that they are not a place as you would think.
