Finished
So, when Isabelle later showed special consideration towards him because of Blood Shadow and because of Joshua’s brother, and said other things, Joshua more or less believed her to some extent,
He played Joshua flawlessly, without a single slip. Not even Joshua’s parents suspected anything.
But he never expected that he would be the one being played in the end.
Even her younger brother Ethan and everyone around her, including Danny, believed that she and George were as close as strangers.
Isabelle said, “I’ve never met someone from Death Gate before. Your hypnosis skills are indeed impressive.
In the Dark Shadow, Death Gate was the most mysterious.
Assassins from the Death Gate generally didn’t execute missions lightly. They also rarely appeared in front of other assassins.
The Death Gate trained them to pry words and find secrets from those who won’t talk.
Dark Shadow hid them deep, even though she, as Blood Shadow in her last life, had never found the Death Gate’s real headquarters.
Dark Shadow wouldn’t allow her to search either.
She wasn’t interested in the hassle of hypnosis. If she were, Dark Shadow’s approval would have been. inconsequential.
Joshua said, “It seems this face of mine is very different to you. Is it not just because of Joshua’s abducted brother?”
Isabelle stood up, her voice cold, “Where is the real Joshua?”
Joshua replied, “Of course, he’s dead.”
Isabelle’s expression froze for a moment. “Did you kill Joshua?”
Joshua said, “Is it that strange for assassins to kill people?”
Isabelle looked at the fake Joshua, who regarded her with cold indifference, treating Joshua’s life as insignificant. She gritted her teeth slowly.
For the first time, Isabelle’s usually calm demeanour cracked, and veins bulged on her fair neck as she erupted in anger.
“You b*stard! He’s your brother!“,
Joshua laughed. “Brother? Are you joking with me? Joshua’s brother is the Storm Shadow of Dark Shadow. He died long ago.”
Dark Shadow sent him to eliminate Isabelle, instructed him to impersonate Joshua, and naturally. informed him that Storm Shadow was Joshua’s brother.

Storm Shadow was friendly with Blood Shadow, who had an inexplicable connection with the girl in front of him.
Isabelle couldn’t contain her anger. “You fool! Do you think you happen to look so much like Joshua by chance?”
Joshua didn’t take Isabelle’s words seriously at all. “I had no idea I had the identity of Storm Shadow.”
Isabelle’s fist clenched, wanting to kill this guy. “Joshua is your twin brother! Storm Shadow is your eldest brother!”
While she was administering an injection to Deborah in the hospital, Isabelle intentionally prompted her, and Deborah tenderly spoke about her son, Joshua.
Isabelle only found out then that Joshua was a twin.
Deborah gave birth to three sons: Storm Shadow, Joshua, and the Death Gate assassin standing before her. Storm Shadow was kidnapped.
Joshua’s twin brother was taken away and sold by their biological father, Gideon, just a few days after they were born.
Upon learning this, Deborah broke down and wanted to report Gideon to the police.
But she was beaten half to death by Gideon. Deborah would have lost her mind and done something foolish if it weren’t for the younger son.
The son sold by her husband became the biggest pain in Deborah’s heart, and she refused to mention it. Even the real Joshua didn’t know about this.
Dark Shadow didn’t tell the fake Joshua, so naturally, he had no way of knowing.
Joshua remained silent.
After a moment, he said coldly, “So what?”
His face looked so much like Joshua’s that even their parents couldn’t tell them apart. How could he not find that strange?
But for him, who grew up in Dark Shadow, where his memories were filled with cruel training, where falling behind even slightly meant certain death. Where he was already numb to everything, these unfamiliar familial ties didn’t stir any emotions in his heart.
He had never been curious about his origins, nor did he long for any familial bonds, family, friends, or a normal life.
In his eyes, there was only Dark Shadow, training, and survival
The commands of Dark Shadow were like decrees from on high.
