Chapter 409 Vengence
George couldn’t help but laugh softly.
“I think we should have more of these good times in the future. If the distance bothers you, I can always come over whenever you call.”
Isabelle was silent.
This man was a willing, self–financed peacock–what limitations could he possibly have?
After speaking, George placed a hand gently on her neck, giving her a kiss on the forehead, followed by another on her cheek.
His voice was low and seductive as he said, “I’m off to work. Drive safely.”
Satisfied, he got out of the car.
The meeting was still ongoing when George returned to the conference room.
The attendees exchanged puzzled looks.
Although their chairman’s expression remained impassive, the warmth in his demeanour made it clear he was in a better mood after his brief departure.
When something good happened, one was in high spirits. Given George’s usual composure, it must have been something quite significant to make him this visibly pleased.
Seated, George found it difficult to focus on work. He kept staring absently at his computer screen.
Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, and his expression changed gradually.
After the meeting ended, George returned to his office and checked the time. Then, he sent Isabelle a message: ‘Did you make it to school?‘
Isabelle replied: ‘I’m at the airport.‘
George’s suspicions solidified. He asked: ‘Where are you going?”
Isabelle answered: ‘Aviara. I need to settle some scores with Dark Shadow.”
Clearly, she was still upset about Joshua’s situation.
George’s mood sank. He realised the kiss earlier had been a farewell. No wonder she was upset last night, yet she went out of her way to see him today and even indulged him.
George probed: ‘Settling the final score?‘
Isabelle explained: ‘I’d love to storm their headquarters, but it’s challenging to get in, and the leader won’t be there waiting for me. However, I have time to wear them down. Firstly, I will amputate their limbs before I go to their heads.
Reading Isabelle’s message, George, who had mistakenly thought her vendetta against Dark Shadow was because of Storm Shadow, couldn’t continue to stay jealous. His only concern was her safety.

Chapter 409 Vengence
It was evident that Isabelle had left him behind to guard the home front once again.
He was certain about one thing. Last night, she must have taken out one of Dark Shadow’s bases in Taragon before leaving–trying to eliminate as many threats as possible before she left.
He sent her a number and provided specific instructions: ‘I have a contact in Aviara. If you need weapons or manpower, please contact him.
George was the largest arms dealer in Aviara.
Isabelle quickly replied: ‘Having a supportive partner isn’t a bad thing.
Seeing her message, George’s lips curled into a slight smile, feeling a bit comforted.
George wrote: ‘I’ll be waiting for you to come back.
Aviara–an oasis in the desert.
It was known as the bigger version of Etreau’s most beautiful oasis, Kald City.
However, it was much larger than Kald, which is comparable in size to a small county.
Isabelle drove a black four–wheel desert vehicle into the ocean of yellow sand, heading towards the desert’s only oasis.
Sand quickly covered the tire tracks as dust flew up.
In the distance, a line of camels passed by.
A few dune buggies recklessly chased after her car for a while, yelling all sorts of nonsense.
This was not a peaceful place.
The oasis wasn’t far from the city.
After about forty minutes of driving, the oasis in the sand became visible, resembling a paradise on earth.
It was dusk. An orange layer painted the sky, casting a surreal glow on the small town below.
It was almost unreal in its beauty.
Aviara, an oasis in the desert, centred around a natural lake. Palm and eucalyptus trees surrounded the city, with most buildings concentrated around the lake. Sand dunes encircled the clear water, creating a magical and beautiful scene.
Such beautiful scenery always attracts brave tourists.
However, the danger of visiting here wasn’t much different from working in Croica.
Easy to come, but hard to leave!
Seemingly peaceful on the surface, it was actually a den of predators.
Isabelle took out her phone. She snapped a photo of the sunset over the town, surrounded by sand, and
