Spadille said. “Mr. Yves, you truly live up to your reputation. Well then, you may leave now–boys, walk our guests out,”
Yves replied, “It’s fine. We can find our way”
Outside, Yves asked, “Sweetheart, why didn’t you fight with them? I was ready.”
Isabelle replied honestly, “I couldn’t beat him.”
“Seriously?” Both Yves and Jim looked at Isabelle, aware of her abilities.
Even though her current body wasn’t as strong as the one she had trained for years, her reflexes and combat experience were intact.
The fact that she had come to confront Spadille alone indicated that she was confident enough to win.
Yves was about to ask another question when he realized they weren’t alone. He glanced at George.
Isabelle noticed this, and she said, “Go ahead, speak.
Since she didn’t mind George hearing their conversation, Yves felt irritated but didn’t want to argue at this critical moment.
Yves asked, “How strong is Spadille’s combat skill compared to yours?”
Isabelle didn’t respond directly, but she said, “The young man next to Spadille is Shadowblade. His skills surpass yours, and his speed rivals mine. The three beside him are also skilled. If we fought one–on–one and you helped me hold off those three, I still have to deal with both Spadille and Shadowblade.”
Isabelle could handle Spadille alone, but adding Shadowblade made it a near–fatal struggle with her current physical condition.
Not to mention the three other skilled assassins, and they were on enemy turf.
Yves asked, “What do we do then?”
Isabelle replied, “I’ll come back tonight and take care of Shadowblade first.” Assassination was also her forte.
George frowned and disagreed. “That’s too dangerous.”
Jim chimed in, “It’s too risky. If you alert them, it’ll be hard to escape unscathed with their skills.”
George asked, “Can’t we use poison like we did with Jasiel?”
Yves asked, “Whe
is Jasiel?”
Isabelle answered, “Heart K.”
Yves glanced at George.
Isabelle said, “That old man is very alert. Besides, we’ve already alerted them by coming here. Poison won’t

Dylan listened to their conversation, utterly confused.
Spadille, Shadowbiade, and Jasiel–also called Heart K? Are they playing poker?
Who are those people? I recognize the skilled ones, that grim–faced man is strong.
The seemingly kind old man turn out to be a combat master
Mr. George mentioned Jasiel; are this man happen to be Isabelle’s enemy too?
My god, how does Isabelle have so many enemies at such a young age? Did she make these enemies in a past life?
These people are all formidable figures.
No wonder she blew them up without a second thought.
Just after they left,
Spadille received a message from Joker, the leader of Dark Shadow.
Reading the Joker’s message, Spadille was astonished. His guess was spot on–the seemingly harmless girl was the most dangerous.
“Do you know what the Joker said?” Spadille asked Shadowblade.
Shadowblade stayed silent.
Spadille went on. “That girl was the one who killed Heart K. Mist Shadow and Flying Shadow also died at her hands. The Joker warned us to be careful; her skills are mysterious and untraceable.”
After Jasiel’s death, Dark Shadow traced it back to Isabelle and had been watching her closely. When the Joker learned Isabelle was in Alcott and targeting Spadille, he knew her intentions.
Shadowbalde’s cold eyes finally showed some emotion.
Spadille asked, “What’s her connection to Blood Shadow?”
Shadowblade stayed silent.
Spadille speculated, “Is she a clone? Or a secretly trained assassin? Here for revenge?”
