Chapter 413 Moon Shadow
Tony pleaded, “Ma’am, please give me a chance.”
The boxing ring had a completely different atmosphere during the day and night.

people at this moment. The bettors were unusually excited; their
Isabelle wore a baseball cap that covered half her face. She stood at the back of the crowd. The dim light overhead makes it dithcult to spot her.
Combining what Tony said during the day and the conversations of the staff at the arena,
it wasn’t hard to guess that the champions from previous years had been recruited by Dark Shadow. These recruits were clearly just for numbers and never got a chance to go on missions.
The second floor, which wasn’t open to the public, occasionally had staff members walk by.
These people were equivalent to the logistics staff in Dark Shadow’s company, Isabelle had no intention of causing them trouble.
She was looking for Moon Shadow and Clubs.
No one noticed a small figure leaving something behind in the arena before slipping away unnoticed.
The boxing matches continued until one in the morning before finally quieting down.
The spectators, still buzzing with excitement, gradually left.
Only the staff remained to handle the aftermath.
They were extending offers to the night’s champions, hoping to recruit them.
Most people in this place knew about Dark Shadow, the top assassin organisation. They saw joining Dark Shadow without becoming an assassin as a great advantage.
They were fantasising about their bright futures.
The next moment shattered those fantasies.
A massive explosion echoed through Aviara, sending large swathes of sand sliding down the nearby dunes. The lake rippled, and the ground shook.
The arena was a place for emotional release, but it was levelled in an instant, vanishing forever from Aviara.
Tony and his men rushed out upon hearing the explosion.
“It’s the arena. Who did this? Holy shit! They must be fearless. Those guys aren’t to be messed with,” his
subordinates muttered.
Tony gazed at the towering flames in the southeast and felt à shiver. He unconsciously touched his neck, grateful to have left the bár unharmed because of his boss’s protection.

He packed explosives into the black leather case he gave Isabelle.
Indeed, the prettiest and most harmless things are often the deadliest–including people.

Isabelle’s hotel was far from the arena, which was located at opposite ends of the area, yet they still felt the explosion’s aftershocks.
The robot stood be

Lying in bed, Isabelle muttered sleepily, “Shut up.”
A message came in on her phone. It belonged to George. He texted: ‘My mistake. Family should not hurt family.’
This man was always trying to connect with her.
Meanwhile, the robot continued to explain the dangers of landslides and how to survive them, occasionally calling her as darling.
Looking at her phone, Isabelle thought, Who on earth is family with you?
Once again, George took the blame for the robot’s voice.
She didn’t want to reply, but knowing that old man’s tendency to worry, Isabelle reluctantly sent a period to indicate she was still alive.
The arena had been blown up, and no one inside had escaped.
However, in the southwest corner, there was another arena.
Tony expected another explosion. He kept his men away from the area, but nothing happened.
Two days later, Isabelle received a call from Tony. He informed, “The person you’re looking for seems to have appeared.”
The southwest arena was hidden and much more luxurious than the one that had been blown up. It resembled a high–end entertainment club rather than a venue for violent sports.
Isabelle had only glanced at this place in her previous life, unaware of this particular arena’s existence.
Tony had mentioned it to her two days ago at the bar.
That night, Moon Shadow discreetly appeared at the arena.
