Isabelle stared blankly at her former training partner and asked, “Where’s that old fool Clubs? Where’s Jacques?”
Before he was even named, Storm Shadow’s younger brother and Joshua’s twin, Jacques Marley, had been sold by Gideon.
Deborah later gave him the name.
She hoped his life would be easier.
Moon Shadow replied, “If you know so much about Dark Shadow, you should know how tight–lipped Shadow team assassins are.”
Isabelle calmly retorted, “I love prying secrets from tight lips.”
Downstairs, in the ring, two fighters were battling it out. The match was one–sided and ended quickly. lacking any real excitement.
The victor raised his arms, waiting for the next challenger.
No one stepped forward for a long time.
Just as the spectators were losing interest and the victor was about to take the champion’s seat, something fell from above.
A figure dropped straight from the third floor, landing right on the victor.
With a loud thud, the falling object knocked the victor unconscious.
The crowd saw someone lying on the stage.
They all glanced up as they realised someone had kicked this person down.
A person leaped down from the third floor, confirming their suspicions.
Tony, searching for Isabelle in the crowd, turned around at the commotion and saw Isabelle jumping down to the ring.
She landed on the stage.
Moon Shadow stood up, wiping the blood from his mouth and glaring coldly at Isabelle. His arm was numb, making it difficult to clench his fist.
The ring was tightly surrounded, with the sudden arrival of Moon Shadow and the girl’s leap causing gasps from the spectators.
The once–disinterested crowd’s excitement spiked.

“Did she kick him down? Impressive. Is this going to be a fight? This will be worth watching. What’s the betting odds on this?”
“Such a lovely girl, who cares about the fight? If she gets hurt, my heart will break.”
Isabelle glared at Moon Shadow and asked, “Will you lead the way, or should I drag you
there?”
Moon Shadow remained silent.
He knew he was no match for her, and resisting would be suicidal. However, surrendering without a fight was not an option.
He lunged at Isabelle, targeting vital points. Isabelle effortlessly countered his first deadly strike. Their fight was astonishing and thrilling for the spectators.
Moon Shadow’s speed and skill were no match for Isabelle, but subduing him completely in a short time wasn’t easy either. They engaged in a fierce battle.
The usual fighters were often muscle–bound brutes; most of the time, the spectators were watching two brutes fight.
It could get boring after a while.
However, the two on stage, who looked nothing like typical fighters, had a level of skill far beyond the ordinary.
The crowd could barely see their movements, with dozens of moves exchanged in the blink of an eye.
Witnessing two elite assassins in action was a rare spectacle for the crowd, as it was an eye–opener.
The audience was too stunned to cheer. They watched intently, afraid to miss any moment of the fight.
Moon Shadow aimed a powerful punch at Isabelle’s face, but she blocked it. His force made her step back.
Seizing the opportunity, Moon Shadow pressed on, kneeing her in the stomach.
Strangely, this girl with close ties to Blood Shadow seemed to know his moves well. She countered perfectly, her knee slamming into his thigh.
She neutralised his attack.
Moon Shadow retaliated with a desperate move to fend Isabelle off temporarily. The two stood some distance away from each other.
