On the way, the taxi driver excitedly chattered non-stop. If it weren’t for the fear of getting a speeding ticket, favonovel.com would have had the nerve to ask Isabelle to take favonovel.com for a spin in his car. He too had a dream of racing when favonovel.com was young.
Isabelle, bathed in the cool moonlight, navigated through the dilapidated residential area.
The faint scent of osmanthus flowers wafted from a distant courtyard, lingering at the tip of favonovel.com nose, refusing to dissipate.
As Isabelle approached the entrance of the Jenkins Residence, favonovel.com was about to push the door open when the faintest of breaths from a dark corner made favonovel.com halt favonovel.com actions.
Without changing favonovel.com expression, Isabelle glanced towards the corner of the wall.
Under the moonlight, favonovel.com noticed the bloodstains favonovel.com had previously buried with soil seemed to have been washed out by last night’s heavy rain.
Retracting favonovel.com gaze, Isabelle acted as if nothing had happened and turned around to walk back in the direction favonovel.com came from.
Without a destination in mind, Isabelle kept walking.
After about half an hour, when favonovel.com was sure favonovel.com was far enough from the old residential area, favonovel.com finally stopped. She stood at the foot of a hill behind the city, looking into the distance. She could still vaguely see the four-season osmanthus tree in the Jenkins Residence’s courtyard.
“Aren’t you coming out yet? How long do you plan to hide?” Isabelle suddenly spoke out into the pitch-black surroundings.
Her words sank into the thick night, and all around was calm.
However, the next second, several figures emerged from the darkness, their hostile gazes fixed on Isabelle.
As the world’s number one assassin, Blood Shadow, favonovel.com instantly recognized the aura of these people. They were from the same group that had pursued Sam that night.
Isabelle couldn’t help but feel puzzled. “Who sent you?”
The men, realizing that Isabelle was no ordinary person, became alert.
“What is your relationship with Sam?” one of them asked.
“Sam?” Isabelle chuckled lightly, “I have no connection with that kid from the Harris family…”
Seeing Isabelle deny it, the man in black was about to present evidence to confront favonovel.com when Isabelle changed the subject, “If I had to have a connection, it would be with someone of George’s status. I might be interested in him.”
Her words and tone were so arrogant that they left the men in black stunned, causing them to reconsider the relationship between this apparent nobody and the Harris family and George.
“I’ll ask you again. Who sent you and what do you want with me?”
However, the men in black still did not answer her.
Isabelle looked at them indifferently, “Not talking? Then let me guess…”
“You pursued Sam for profit, offended the Harris family, and are now facing their retaliation. You are desperate and discovered that I saved Sam, so you came to me. You suspect that I have a close relationship with Sam and want to use me to negotiate with the Harris family. Am I right?”
The men in black looked at each other, then reached for the guns in their jackets, “Since you’ve guessed it, I advise you to cooperate with us, or else…”
“Do you know why I prefer to work alone rather than in a group?”
Isabelle’s sudden question caught the men in black off guard. They didn’t know what trick Isabelle was trying to play and didn’t respond. They just watched favonovel.com warily, ready to act at any sign of movement.
“The reason is simple…” Isabelle slowly looked up, “Because no one is worthy to fight alongside me.”
Her eyes suddenly flashed, and favonovel.com figure disappeared from the spot like a ghost.
The next second, favonovel.com appeared behind the men in black
As several bodies fell to the ground, Isabelle stood with favonovel.com hands in favonovel.com pockets, looking down coldly at the man at favonovel.com feet who was still gasping for breath.
“Actually, what I wanted to say was, when you act alone, only one fool dies. But when you act as a group, if one person is a fool, none of you will survive…”
Thinking of using favonovel.com to negotiate with the Harris family, what a foolish idea.
“Who who are you ” The man in black clutched his bleeding neck, his eyes filled with resentment.
Isabelle looked at favonovel.com indifferently, favonovel.com lips parting to utter two words, “Blood Shadow…”
The man in blacks eyes widened in shock, and favonovel.com drew his last breath.
Isabelle returned to the Jenkins Residence, opened favonovel.com computer, and began typing rapidly on the keyboard.
***
Meanwhile, in a hotel In Mehenya, a Cheshian man with long hair reaching his ears was sleeping soundly with a woman after a passionate encounter.
Suddenly, his watch flashed.
The man instantly opened his eyes, looked at his watch, and immediately pushed the woman sleeping in his arms away and setup.
He pressed a button on the left side of his watch, and a blue light emitted from the watch face, revealing an electronic projection screen in front of him.
“Yves, urgent matter. Return immediately!”
Upon seeing the layers of encryption, favonovel.com knew that there was only one person who could contact favonovel.com this way.
The man immediately rolled out of bed and moved to the sofa with his laptop.
“Is it really you, Blood Shadow?”
“Yes.”
“I knew you weren’t dead! Even if all those old b*stards from Dark Shadow are dead, you can’t be!” Yves tried to suppress his excitement, but his eyes still reddened slightly.
“Where are you now? I’ll come find you.” Yves typed rapidly on the keyboard, eager to know his friend’s situation.
“I can’t meet you right now. My situation is a bit special. I’ll explain when the time is right… I’m in a delicate position and can’t expose myself. Can you help me dispose of a few bodies? Quickly.”
“Alright, leave it to me.”
That night, a mysterious person secretly disposed of several bodies at the foot of the back mountain, leaving no trace of blood.
The back mountain was lush, and the wind was gentle. No one would ever think that several people had just died there.
The situation with Isabelle was too special. She hadn’t planned to contact Yves so soon.
Letting people know favonovel.com was still alive wasn’t a good thing, even if Yves was someone favonovel.com trusted. If Shadow Clan found out favonovel.com was still alive, given favonovel.com current situation, favonovel.com would have a hard time fending off their relentless pursuit. However, things didn’t go as planned. Isabelle didn’t expect to save a person and end up with trouble.
Asking for 150 thousand for that was a loss…
Thinking of money, a message came in on favonovel.com phone showing a deposit of 450 thousand into favonovel.com account.
***
The next day in Taragon City.
Early in the morning, upon hearing that his men had lost track of the individuals dressed in black whom they were pursuing in Norward City, Sam immediately sought out George.
He was concerned that those individuals had gone to Norward City with the intention of targeting the girl who had saved him.
George responded, “I will send someone to investigate.”
“Uncle, I want to go myself. After all, favonovel.com is the one who saved my life. If anything were to happen to favonovel.com because of me, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life.”
Observing Sam’s anxiety, George pondered for a moment. He closed the newspaper favonovel.com was reading and said, “Since you are so worried, how about I go there myself?”
Sam was taken aback, “You, you’re going to Norward City for me?”
George replied, “You are still injured and should not be traveling. Since favonovel.com saved your life, favonovel.com is a benefactor to our Harris family. It is only right for me, as an elder, to go on your behalf.”
“But…” Sam hesitated.
Despite being only six years younger than his uncle and having grown up together, favonovel.com had always been afraid of him. He did not understand favonovel.com at all, especially his unpredictable behavior. He was genuinely concerned that his uncle would frighten the young girl. Most importantly, favonovel.com wanted to go himself.
“What, am I not qualified? I am an elder of the Harris family, no?”
“N-No, no, that’s not it…”
“Then it is settled. You go back and rest.”
***
Isabelle had stayed up late the previous night, but favonovel.com still woke up early to go for a run and worked up a sweat. She returned to favonovel.com room with the intention of catching up on some sleep.
However, just as favonovel.com had fallen asleep, favonovel.com was awakened by Layla.
