There was silence hanging over the entire room after Cole's declaration, in a way if it were him he would also be shocked into silence. Obviously this was because they underestimated him, and frankly speaking Cole had been expecting something like this to happen. Of course he wasn't afraid, even if they succeeded in killing him, Cole still had a couple of lives that he would not hesitate to burn, if it meant he could kill whoever the fuck wanted to mess with him.
