As soon as the words fell, Isabelle’s knife shot from her hand like a bullet, thundering towards Bamboo Shadow on the second floor.
As soon as the knife was thrown, Isabelle vanished into thin air and crashed into a square wooden table with her foot. She sprang to the second floor with great force.
Bamboo Shadow dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the blade which grazed past his forehead. When he looked back, Moon Shadow was already fighting with the girl.
They did not underestimate Isabelle’s might. They kept Jack as a hostage to engage in negotiations first, which disadvantaged Isabelle. Suddenly, without saying a word, she launched into a battle.
They didn’t know if she didn’t care about Jack’s life or didn’t regard Dark Shadow.
Isabelle killed so many of the Dark Shadow’s key figures, yet they only let Jack suffer a little flesh wound.
Seeing that Isabelle was trying to rescue someone, Bamboo Shadow immediately joined the fight.
Together with Moon Shadow, they forced Isabelle back downstairs.
Seven or eight Dark Shadow’s assassins quickly joined downstairs, surrounding Isabelle in the middle.
Several dust–caked lightbulbs in the run–down factory cast a soft glow, blown by a chilling breeze.
The air was thick with killing intent.
In all the years with Dark Shadow, and after so many missions, there had never been a need for so many of them to act together.
Bamboo Shadow asked, “Why did Blood Shadow want you to do this? Is she dead or alive?”
Moon Shadow added, “Did Blood Shadow betray us?”
Or is there some hidden truth behind all of this?
Why did Blood Shadow harbour such deep hatred for Dark Shadow and train such a deadly weapon to oppose them?
Isabelle replied, “Betray your foot!”
With a curse, Isabelle sprang at the person on her left. She grabbed the opponent’s dagger amid the fight and slashed it into their neck, sending blood flying.
Immediately following, she kicked an assassin who charged forward, forcing them back temporarily. As she dodged another attacker, she threw the lifeless killer in her hand towards another person, who followed suit and charged forward.
Another swift strike of hand to knife.
In the blink of an eye, three or four bodies were already lying on the ground.
A short knife in Isabelle’s hand seemed alive, unstoppable, its blade flashing, destined to draw blood.

truly engaged that Moon Shadow and Bamboo Shadow felt the stark difference. Her speed was too fast for them to keep up.
They ultimately had the advantage in numbers.
But that slight advantage no longer existed in an instant. Only Moon Shadow and Bamboo Shadow remained.
Moon Shadow was also proficient with cold weaponry in close–quarter combat. With a short knife, he moved in close on Isabelle, and they started fighting.
During the fight, Isabelle slashed Moon Shadow’s arm with one knife and then cut his shoulder, abdomen, side waist, and back with another knife …
It was a massacre!
After a round of fighting, both Moon Shadow and Bamboo Shadow were covered in bloody knife wounds.
Looking at Isabelle again, she was unscathed.
The two of them together only managed to cut her twice.
And if it weren’t for avenging Jack, they probably would have already died in her hands.
As their respective knives were knocked out of their hands, the three began to fight bare–handed.
Isabelle kicked Bamboo Shadow and sent him flying out.
Coughing up blood, Bamboo Shadow fell heavily to the ground. He glanced at Moon Shadow, who Isabelle had brutally murdered, and then raised his head to see Jack suspended overhead.
He covered his chest, climbed to his feet, and quickly ascended to the second floor.
Isabelle was about to finish Moon Shadow but suddenly saw Bamboo Shadow appear on the second floor.
Seeing through Bamboo Shadow’s intentions, Isabelle immediately took a big step forward and kicked the dagger on the ground away.
But Bamboo Shadow dodged it.
Isabelle pulled the badge from her pocket and threw it like a dart.
The metal badge had sharp edges that scratched Bamboo Shadow’s backhand and pinned it to the wooden fence.
But it still didn’t stop Bamboo Shadow.
Bamboo Shadow cut the rope tied to the fence with one knife stroke.
Jack rapidly fell from the roof.
Isabelle kicked the body beside her foot like kicking a sandbag, sending it flying out. The flying body successfully cushioned Jack’s fall.
