Chapter 277 New Patient
+5 Pearls:
The confidant thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, “Other than Blood Shadow, I can’t think of anyone else in the world who could do this.”
Joker replied, “I didn’t expect she would retaliate so quickly.”
He had only drugged her brother as a warning, but she immediately destroyed his entire island’s security system in response.
Her sense of revenge was strong.
It was clear that their warning had not only failed but had angered her instead.
He hadn’t harmed her brother, just drugged him, leaving room for negotiation–after all, she had killed Heart K and Spadille, along with several other core members, and he feared her skills.
She seemed unusually familiar with his organisation, yet they didn’t even know her motive or who she
was.
Additionally, with connections like George, Yves, and Jim, he was even more reluctant to make enemies with Isabelle and those behind her.
Her actions tonight indicated she had no intention of negotiating.
The confidant asked shockingly, “You’re saying it’s that girl’s doing?”
“She’s not even nineteen, but already this skilled? She’s stronger than Blood Shadow. Even if she were a clone of Blood Shadow’s genes, she could only be on par with her, not surpass her. Even if Blood Shadow had secretly trained her as a killer, she couldn’t have achieved such accomplishments in such a short time.
Joker pondered, “Who is she, exactly?”
Why would this girl want to make an enemy of them?
Unfortunately, Joker was very cautious. Joker has been wary of Bloot Shadow ever since she became uncontrollable. Therefore, the places he stayed most often had no surveillance, and Isabelle couldn’t listen in or monitor him.
This took away some of the fun.
Otherwise, she could have enjoyed watching her ‘great leader‘ in distress.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
She glanced at the scar cream George had sent her and thought it was him.
After all, she didn’t have many visitors.
Isabelle casually opened the door’s surveillance and saw that it was Arlo and his little apprentice.
Isabelle went downstairs to open the door.
“Ms. Jenkins, have you had dinner yet?” Arlo greeted with a smile, his eyes full of admiration and joy.

“I asked Magnus for your address. I hope you don’t mind us dropping by unannounced.”
Isabelle asked, “What’s the matter?”

Arlo replied, “Well, I brought a patient with me. My medical skills aren’t sufficient, so I wanted to introduce him to you.”
Isabelle looked outside, seeming to search for the mentioned patient.
Arlo continued, “He’s waiting outside. I didn’t want to intrude, so I came in to ask if you’d be available to see him. If not, I’ll take him away.”
Arlo knew Isabelle’s temperament somewhat and, considering her relationship with George, dared not make decisions that might inconvenience her.
“He’s a retired soldier, a very skilled sniper. Due to long–term training, his right arm has permanent muscle and bone damage, and he’s been shot before. It’s not an incurable condition, but it’s tough to heal. I’ve treated him with needle therapy for two years, but I haven’t been able to help much. Your expertise in both alternative and traditional medicine is unparalleled. I thought you might be able to help him. Arlo explained.
“He’s a good man who served the country and the people. He had a glorious past, but his injury forced him to retire. I really can’t bear to see him suffer,” Arlo tried to appeal to Isabelle’s sympathy.
Playing the emotional card didn’t work with Isabelle, but she did catch a few key phrases–retired soldier, right arm injury.
“This person’s last name wouldn’t be Dittman, would it?”
It was a wild guess, since she had seen him earlier in the morning.
“Oh, how did you know? Have you already treated him?” Arlo was taken aback and slightly concerned that Isabelle might not be able to assist.
