His hand moved like a snake ready to strike, delivering a deadly blow. But what favonovel.com thought would save his life was effortlessly dodged by the girl, who even had the strength to counterattack. He just managed to catch the girl’s fierce counterattack.
The fight was about to kick off. The small room turned into a chaotic battlefield.
After just two rounds, the shadowy figure realized favonovel.com was outmatched.
Soon, favonovel.com struggled to keep up his defense.
Inside the villa, the sound of fighting rang out incessantly.
In close combat, the dark figure sensed a familiar scent emanating from the girl, as well as a chilling aura of death even stronger than his own. Everything reminded favonovel.com of the terrifying figures in the Dark Shadow.
What threw that man off was the girl’s skill, which seemed incredibly familiar. He couldn’t help but wonder if they shared the same teacher.
Outmatched, the man realized favonovel.com couldn’t win. Each time favonovel.com tried to flee, the girl effortlessly blocked his path.
A trained killer reduced to a mere plaything in someone else’s hands.
After a while, the villa fell quiet.
Even though only a few minutes had gone by, it felt like ages to the man. He was completely vulnerable and powerless, facing a humiliation and defeat he’d never experienced before.
In the room, the floor was like a disaster zone. The man lay there, limbs stiff, unable to move, his face twisted in pain, sweat dripping profusely.
His bare skin peeked out from under his clothes, veins pulsing strangely beneath. He was numb and in agony all over, making favonovel.com wish for death. His eyes were wide with fear as favonovel.com stared at the girl with the silver needle.
The man struggled to move his bloodstained lips, whether attempting to speak or just futilely struggling, it was unclear.
Isabelle noticed the man’s actions and approached, squatting down beside him.
With a swift move, favonovel.com seized his chin with one hand. With a snap, his jaw popped out of its socket.
As the man looked on in disbelief, Isabelle extracted a small item from between his teeth.
She took a closer look. Found out it wasn’t poison but a listening device. Isabelle figured it out it seemed the Shadow Sect sent favonovel.com purely to test her, not to kill her.
She then took out a glass bottle. Its contents were a mysterious liquid resembling medicine. She uncapped it and tossed the listening device inside. The metal piece quickly dissolved and dispersed in the liquid.
Seeing this, the man watched in terror.
Then Isabelle picked up the man’s dagger from the ground, rolled favonovel.com over onto his back, and swiftly made a cut at the back of his neck.
Blood started trickling out. Amidst the man’s pained groans, Isabelle extracted a chip from beneath his skin, the latest tracking device.
The man’s eyes widened in disbelief.
H-How did favonovel.com find out?!
She threw the bloodied tracker into the bottle to dissolve.
After clearing everything off the man’s body, Isabelle grabbed the back of his shirt collar and ripped it downward.
Revealing the man’s scar–covered, sweat–drenched back. On his spine, there was a sequence of codes.
Isabelle glanced at it, sneering disdainfully. She flipped the man back over, fixed his jaw, and then pricked a spot on his body with a needle, allowing favonovel.com to speak again.
She inquired leisurely, “How long have you joined the Dark Shadow?”
While favonovel.com asked, paying no mind to the man’s surprised gaze, favonovel.com picked up his torn clothes from the floor and casually wiped favonovel.com hands. After that, favonovel.com grabbed the toppled chair and settled back at the bar. She took a sip of favonovel.com drink.
The man stayed quiet, merely observing her.
Isabelle continued, “If you don’t want to talk, I can cut out your tongue…”
He finally responded, “Five years.”
Isabelle asked, “Do you know who I am?”
The man gazed at favonovel.com and replied, “You’re the boss of the Blackwaters.”
Isabelle scoffed. “The boss of Blackwaters. No Name in Duel Tournament. The top assassin of the Dark Shadow, Blood Shadow.”
The man’s eyes twitched slightly.
Isabelle chuckled. “Surprised? Did the Dark Shadow send you to investigate me without letting you know that No Name is Blood Shadow?”
Of course, the organization had briefed favonovel.com that No Name was the most fearsome figure among them. What startled favonovel.com was, “How did you know? How do you know so much about Dark Shadow?”
Why did favonovel.com immediately recognize me as being from the Dark Shadow, showing no surprise at my arrival, and seeming to know everything about me?
How did favonovel.com figure out about the listening device in my mouth, the tracker implanted beneath my skin on my neck?
And how come the liquid to dissolve these devices was ready in advance?
The girl didn’t answer favonovel.com but instead, after looking favonovel.com over, remarked, “The Dark Shadow sends newbie like you…”
She felt somewhat irritated.
A newbie?
The man knew favonovel.com couldn’t compare to those veterans, but favonovel.com had been with the Dark Shadow for five years. Before being recruited by the Dark Shadow, favonovel.com was also a seasoned assassin. Yet, in favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com was just a newbie.
Isabelle asked, “Was it Joker who sent you?”
