Chapter 274 The Mastermind
Finished
The trump card of the Shadow Organization–Blood Shadow–had been eliminated by their own hands, along with the powerful Storm Shadow.
One–on–one, no one in the organisation could match her, not even Joker. But nobody knew what was on the Joker’s mind.
The organisation wanted her dead, but they also feared her.
So, they used this method to warn her.
George said. “They fear you.”
This was a good thing.
Dark Shadow was a formidable enemy. Isabelle had more actions planned, and if they couldn’t reconcile, the organisation would not sit idle. “They knocked out Ethan today; what about next time?”
George voiced his concern.
Isabelle responded, “We’ll take it as it comes,”
Ever since her rebirth, Isabelle knew her fight with the Dark Shadow would be to the death. The only person who might get hurt because of her was Ethan, but she couldn’t sever her feelings for Ethan now,
The previous encounters with Spadille and Heart K were just appetisers; her real battle with the organisation was only beginning now.
Seeing George’s worried look, Isabelle remained silent for a moment, then said, “I do value my life.”
This single statement reassured George greatly.
Isabelle’s actions were high–profile, and while she had the ability to back them up, her enemy was formidable. George couldn’t help but worry.
There was little he could do. He had never dealt with the Shadow and didn’t even know where their base was. Even if he had the ability to avenge her, Isabelle wouldn’t let him get involved.
George asked, “One day, when this feud is settled, will you tell me some answers?”
Isabelle didn’t reply immediately. She looked at George, pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. Just as she was about to speak, Dylan, who had been processing everything, finally accepted the reality.
So, what if X is a girl? So what if she was a young student? She could dominate in the duel tournament, single–handedly take down Dark Shadow’s top assassins, and revive old Mr. Harris from the brink of death. Her friends ranged from underworld royalty to the leaders of the 791 Corps. She even won over his boss. What’s impossible? Which of these feats wasn’t equally astonishing?
Dylan faced his idol with only excitement and joy after accepting this.
His idol had been right beside him all along!
Dylan took a step forward excitedly and said, “Ms. Jenkins.”

He successfully interrupted Isabelle, who turned to look at him.

Dylan, pointing to himself, stammered, I’m your idol–no, you are my idol. I’ve admired you for a long
time.”
George’s piercing gaze swept over him.
Dylan shivered and quickly corrected himself. “No, no, I mean, I admire you. I’m saying I admire you.”
If George weren’t here, Dylan would have lost control of himself.
Dylan was nervous, acting like a star–struck fan. Isabelle nodded slightly and said, “I know.”
The joy of acknowledgment lit up Dylan’s face. He asked, “You know me? How do you know? Yes, I’m your
fan.
Isabelle asked, “Did George teach you hacking?”
From their previous encounter, Isabelle noticed that George and Dylan had similar techniques.
Dylan nodded. “Yes.”
Isabelle then asked George, “You don’t seem to be on the ranking list.”
George replied, “I didn’t see the point before. Now maybe I can aim for second place.”
She would be first, and he would be second,
Isabelle chuckled, but didn’t respond.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Dylan’s mind was in a whirl. What had he planned? To get a photo, an autograph, or maybe even some tips if he met his idol? Or even dream of becoming friends?
Could it happen? It seemed possible.
Dylan felt as though someone had poured a bucket of cold water over him as he glanced at George.
Clearly, it wasn’t possible.
Lost in thought, Dylan suddenly remembered something and said, “I just recall something.”
Isabelle asked, “Related to me?”
Dylan replied, “My computer got a virus after our last encounter. Were those videos your doing. Ms. Jenkins?”
Dylan shook his head and prayed silently. Please say no. I just met my idol. Please don’t let me down. I’d rather believe my firewall was faulty back then.
