Resurrecting the Genius Within
Chapter 276 Misunderstanding
+5 Pears
Chase pursues Jack relentlessly. Knowing that Ethan was safe and that Chase had revealed his police. identity while in school, Jack agreed to go with him, hoping not to cause Isabelle any trouble.
Chase said. “Sorry, I’m just doing my job. So, the missing and unconscious student is your brother?”
Though Jack enticed him, he was more curious about Isabelle. Despite Carl’s warning that anyone connected to the Harrises would be extraordinary, Isabelle’s remarkable shooting skills and speed left him astounded.
And now, this remarkably skilled foreigner was calling Isabelle “boss.” Chase didn’t think this had anything to do with George.
Isabelle asked Jack, “Ready to go?”
Jack nodded.
Isabelle said, “Since this was a misunderstanding. I’ll be taking him with me.”
Chase replied. “Alright.”
He was surprised to meet someone with such impressive skills and discover their connection to Isabelle. Luckily, she arrived in time; otherwise, he would have taken the silent Jack into the interrogation room.
If not for his admiration of Jack’s skills and his willingness to cooperate, Chase would have followed protocol and taken him into the interrogation room earlier.
Chase didn’t realise that if he had taken Jack into the interrogation room or even handcuffed him, Isabelle would not have let him off so easily.
As Isabelle got into the car, Chase followed her out.
“Isabelle, your friend here has quite the skills.”
Isabelle responded, “He’s still young and not fully trained. My other friends are even better. Be careful if you run into them next time.”
With that, Isabelle hit the gas and drove off.
Isabelle noticed Jack’s sullen expression and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling down because you lost a fight?
Isabelle had noticed during training camp that Chase had extraordinary skills. She wondered why he had ended up in a city military district, serving as an instructor, and now working at the police station.
Jack replied, “I didn’t lose. I went with him voluntarily.”
Isabelle teased, “What’s the matter? Have you never visited a Cheshian police station before and are eager to experience its atmosphere?
Jack didn’t answer.
Isabelle said, “I told you, you can treat this place like Melfrey. Don’t worry about causing me trouble!?

Guessing that Jack was afraid of causing her trouble, Isabelle added, “If you didn’t want to go, no one could make you, even if they tried to beat you into submission.”
Jack changed the subject. He asked, “How’s your brother?”
Isabelle said, “He’s fine.”
Jack asked, “Was it Dark Shadow?”
Isabelle replied, “Just a warning, nothing serious.”
After a moment of silence, Jack said. “The guy I fought had old injuries. If he didn’t have those, I wouldn’t have been able to beat him.
Isabelle nodded slightly. It turned out Chase had old injuries.
Otherwise, with Chase’s skills, he wouldn’t likely be working in a police station, even if he were nearing retirement.
Isabelle said, “You’re already impressive, little Jack. No need to feel down.”
With determination in his eyes, Jack said, ‘I want to get even better, like No–Name.”
Isabelle said. “I’m pretty great too.
Jack glanced at her and said, “I never denied that.”
Isabelle chuckled and said, “Well, thanks for the compliment.”
After leaving the police station, Chase headed to Maven Apothecary.
After examining him, Arlo shook his head and said, “Your condition is much worse than last time. If this continues, even eating with a spoon will be difficult. I’m afraid my skills aren’t sufficient.”
Chase quietly put his shirt back on and said, “It’s okay. I knew this might happen. Sorry to trouble you.”
Seeing the determined yet sorrowful look on the man’s face, Arlo hesitated before saying, “Actually, there might be someone who can help.”
Chase’s stoic facade cracked, revealing his hope. He asked, ‘Are you serious?”
As night fell, the rain drizzled.
In her room, Isabelle sat on the sofa with her laptop.
