Chapter 417 The Actual Battlefield
Are you sure it’s not a mirage?”
Tony was astounded and shaken.
A massive castle stood in the desert’s depths.
It seemed like this was the place Isabelle was looking for

Tony asked, “Ma’am, could this be Dark Shadow’s base? This is serious. Boss is probably waiting for you to come home”
Isabelle looked at the grand castle. Her eyes reflected a cold yet inscrutable interest.
That’s right, interest.
After a moment, she spoke with a hint of anticipation, “Such a large castle must have some secrets, right?”
Moon Shadow looked at her. His expression was unreadable.
Isabelle’s words made him think deeply.
He vaguely guessed what secrets Isabelle was referring to.
The car continued towards the castle.
Moon Shadow, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, “Radar covers the castle’s exterior. The moment we approach, they’ll detect us.”
He paused, then added, “Inside, there are countless infrared traps. Entering is a death sentence.”
Isabelle commanded, “George, jam the radar”
The robot replied, “One moment, honey.”
Tony glanced at the robot and praised, “Impressive, buddy.”
Isabelle looked at Moon Shadow with curiosity.
She knew Moon Shadow had deliberately led her here.
Dark Shadow was already preparing to deal with her. There was no way they didn’t know she was behind. the arena explosion.
Even if they didn’t, such a minor incident wouldn’t require Moon Shadow to personally investigate.
Moon Shadow was a lure. Dark Shadow knew she’d take the bait, Isabelle was eager to expose herself.
So, Aviara wasn’t the real battleground. The castle ahead was.

She administered a few jabs at the pressure points, and Moon Shadow’s legs gradually regained sensation.
In the vast desert, a small figure moved towards the castle. Meanwhile, Moon Shadow was dragging his not–yet–fully–recovered legs as he moved forward with difficulties.
Isabelle, who was petite, hid behind him. Together, they boldly approached the castle.
The towering walls stood dozens of metres high as a barrier against all intruders. Atop them were large signal towers.
As they got closer, the castle’s size dwarfed them.
The walls were built in an ancient Rondam architectural style. There were eight massive gates at the front, all wide open and unguarded.
They walked in unchallenged.
Inside the gates, the wind lessened, the sand stopped stinging their eyes, and the air felt much cleaner.
The castle was eerily silent, seemingly deserted.
Further in, the luxurious interior starkly contrasted with the rough exterior and the barren desert, with modern decor that made it feel like a return to civilisation.
The vastness of the castle made it feel empty. Its complex structure hinted at hidden dangers.
The place was devoid of any human presence.
With a gun pressed to his waist, Moon Shadow was forced to lead Isabelle through the castle. A drone flew
It scanned the area, but it didn’t trigger any of the infrared traps mentioned by Moon Shadow. It hovered above Isabelle, guiding them deeper.
The three of them–Isabelle, Moon Shadow, and the drone–moved cautiously through the intricate
castle.
A massive electronic screen faced the couch, broadcasting news.
The TV’s noise echoed through the empty castle.
Several spiral staircases wound up to the mysterious second floor.
