Chapter 419 New Research Subject
Now, she seemed to have become a research subject in a lab once more–the iron chains around her wri at least made her look like one.
A few people stood in front of the iron cage.
Isabelle weakly turned her gaze towards them.
The first thing she saw was a wrist wrapped in chains. She didn’t need to see the face to know who was standing before her.
The castle’s owner, Clubs, had finally dared to show himself.
Isabelle strained to lift her head and look at him.
Clubs were the most recent addition to these ancient traditions.
In his early forties, years of combat training made him look younger and stronger than his peers.
The chain encircling his wrist was a weapon, not jewellery,
The end of the chain held a deadly blade.
“You’re very clever, finding and opening the secret chamber.” The secret chamber’s hidden control room served as the switch to activate this underground lab.
Aside from him, Isabelle was the second person to open the secret chamber.
“It’s a pity, though. Being too clever can backfire,” Clubs said.
Isabelle weakly smirked and agreed, “Yes, being too clever can backfire.” Her long hair partially obscured her eyes as she answered meaningfully.
Clubs didn’t catch the underlying meaning of Isabelle’s words.
Even if he did, he wouldn’t have cared much.
Given Isabelle’s current predicament, he didn’t believe she had any tricks left to escape under his watch.
“I must say, I’m very fortunate. Whatever I lack, it always finds its way to me–even rare human genes.”
Hearing the words ‘human genes, Moon Shadow, who stood behind Clubs, subtly glanced at Isabelle.
“Blood Shadow’s death was a great loss. She was my most perfect creation, unparalleled.”
If Blood Shadow hadn’t become so powerful and beyond their control, they wouldn’t have let their favourite child meet such an end in Brookhaven.
Even if they created countless Blood Shadow afterwards, they could never compare to the original.
Isabelle watched with mockery as Clubs shed fake tears.
I’m no longer curious about your relationship with Blood Shadow, She’s dead, and now you’re in my

Chapter 419 New Research Subject
Several people in white coats approached.
The electronic lock on the iron cage recognised Clubs‘ iris.
Finished
Clubs used his iris to unlock the cage, allowing one of the white coats to enter and draw several tubes of blood from Isabelle.
Then, they took out a syringe filled with yellow liquid and injected it into Isabelle’s arm.
Just as she was about to regain some strength, Isabelle’s limbs went limp again.
“You want to avenge Blood Shadow? Then I’ll use your genes to make you eternally loyal to the organisation she hated, strengthening it.
“This is our first meeting, and Joker said your skills rival Blood Shadow’s. So, I’m looking forward to the
outcome.
“I look forward to making you my new weapon.”
Clubs‘ eyes were filled with a near–maniacal expectation.
He instructed the white coats, “Pause your current work. She’s now the most important genetic subject in the lab.
“Within three months, I want you to extract 100% of her genes. I expect the latest data in two days.”
Leaving these instructions, Clubs took one last satisfied look at Isabelle before turning to leave.
Moon Shadow glanced at Isabelle in the cage and lab, which he was seeing for the first time.
Then he followed Clubs.
Upon returning to the surface, a subordinate reported, “Master, we have restored the radar and signals. The vehicle outside has left.”
“Good,” Clubs replied, heading upstairs.
