Resurrecting the Genius Within (Calypso Rain) novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290 Seeking Revenge 

Finished 

Since the morningEthan began, then silently turned the camera to show George in the hospital room, hoping George would persuade Isabelle to return

It was now afternoon, a workday, and George wasn’t at the office but at the hospital

The two of them stared at each other through the screen. George didn’t speak, just looked at Isabelle, and they were at a loss for words for a moment

Just moments ago, she had heartlessly refused his offer to come find her at the bar. Now, meeting like this, Isabelle felt an unusual sense of awkwardness

It was a feeling that was hard to put into words

George was the first to break the uneasy atmosphere, cautioning, Be careful.” 

He didn’t show any signs of being upset or emotional. His eyes only showed concern

Okay.Isabelle nodded slightly, not saying much more

After ending the video call, Isabelle felt a bit down. Would George still worry so much if he knew I was Blood Shadow

The next day, Isabelle went out leisurely, holding the badge. She could enter places that were usually restricted to the public

It was like she was just touring around

Even though she sensed someone watching her, Isabelle didn’t take the initiative to strike. She waited for the other side to make the first move

For two consecutive days, Isabelle spent her days sightseeing, shopping, and evenings relaxing at bars. She neither searched for Jack herself nor allowed Liam to help, seemingly completely forgetting about Jack

Dark Shadow couldn’t decide and finally showed up on their initiative

In the bar

The heavy metal music was deafening, and the dance floor was filled with chaotic dancing

Isabelle sat at the bar when suddenly a gaze full of hostility fixed on her

She looked back and saw a man standing on the second floor, staring at her

Then he turned and left

Isabelle finished her drink, got up, and followed him upstairs

Isabelle was led back to the slums, where she found Jack in an abandoned factory building

Jack’s hands were bound with a thick rope, and he was suspended high up on the metal roof of the building

Chapter 290 Seeking Revenge 

Finished 

There was no movement from him, and his condition was uncertain. The height and dim lighting made it difficult for Isabelle to see Jack

But on the ground beneath Jack, there were scattered bloodstains. Ethan said that a knife had pierced Jack’s arm. If he remained suspended like this without treatment, even if he didn’t die, he would be permanently crippled

Clearly, in this silent confrontation, neither side had wonJack was tortured, and Dark Shadow hadn’t been able to control Isabelle using Jack fully

On the secondfloor balcony, two people were standing

They were Moon Shadow and Bamboo Shadow, nearly as powerful as Shadowblade

*Our leader would like to chat with you,” Bamboo Shadow said, turning the computer screen in Isabelle’s direction

Isabelle’s icy gaze moved from Jack and lowered to the second floor

On the screen, a man appeared, sitting in a chair

The man’s face was digitally obscured, with his features blocked out, leaving only darkness visible

But even with just the outline of his upper body, Isabelle recognized him. He was the leader of Dark Shadow, Joker

The man on the screen scrutinized Isabelle closely, then spoke, We finally meet His voice, too, was processed

Isabelle’s expression was cold, and she remained silent, staring at him without saying a word

Joker looked at Isabelle with that familiar gaze, feeling surprised inside. He said, You do resemble Blood Shadow.” 

His words startled all the assassins of Dark Shadow present

Joker asked, We do not quarrel. Are you against Dark Shadow because of Blood Shadow? Did she instruct you to do this?” 

Isabelle’s clenched jaw twitched slightly, anger burning within her

Seeing Isabelle’s silence, Joker continued, It’s a pity about Blood Shadow’s death, but that was her fate.” 

I don’t know what she told you, but regardless of her words, I think you should understand the strength of Dark Shadow. I don’t want to be enemies with you. We can make peace.” 

If we continue to fight like this, it will only be mutually detrimental. Dark Shadow has no shortage of 

assassins

But you have family, classmates, friends. Even a Blackwater mercenary could easily bring you here and leave you vulnerable. I could send people to Norward City, to Taragon City, to eliminate everyone close to you.” 

Why sacrifice yourself for a Blood Shadow who’s already dead? Look out for yourself first. Think about it carefully.”
