Chapter 426 Rescuing Isabelle
Clubs commanded. Bring her down swiftly.”
Moon Shadow paused, but obeying his directives, he hurried once more towards Isabelle.
Finished
Just as Moon Shadow neared her, Isabelle executed a sudden action, thrusting the dagger she held into the done Storm Shadow’s chest.
The clone Storm Shadow firmly clasped the hand wielding the dagger, halting its advance, as the darts he held targeted Isabelle’s neck
At that moment, Clubs‘ chain lashed out again.
The sharp blade at the tip of the chain expanded swiftly before Isabelle, looming dangerously close to her eye as if poised to puncture it
Just as Isabelle prepared to respond, a hand swiftly intervened, seizing the blade mere inches from her
eve
The blade’s point halted abruptly, hovering just before her eyeball.
Clubs‘ voice rang out sharply. “Moon Shadow, what are you doing?!“*
The figure grasping the blade was none other than Moon Shadow himself.
Clubs gaze hardened. “Release it!”
Moon Shadow stayed silent, steadfastly holding on, refusing to let go.
“Moon Shadow! Clubs fury ignited.
Despite the blade cutting into his palm, blood trickling down his fingers, Moon Shadow clung on tenaciously.
He shifted slightly towards Isabelle, murmuring. “Seize the opportunity to flee,” before laboriously dragging his wounded body towards Clubs.
Clubs exclaimed. “You imbecile!”
Isabelle raised her leg, creating space between herself and the clone Storm Shadow.
Both of them were drenched in blood. Isabelle pressed against the wall, struggling to hold up her body weight. The recent blow from the clone Storm Shadow had fractured her bones and punctured her internal organs.
Should they persist in this manner, she would succumb to bleeding out without them laying a hand on

The wounded Moon Shadow proved no match for Clubs and was swiftly overpowered, crashing to the ground after a brief exchange.
Clubs regarded the treacherous Moon Shadow with a chilling glare of murderous intent in his eyes. With over two decades of teaching experience, he harboured no emotional bond toward him. To Clubs, Moon

Chapter 426 Rescuing Isabelle
**Finished
In a cold tone, he uttered, “Since you’re bent on betraying Dark Shadow, I’ll personally end your life and then deal with her.”
At that instant, the clone Storm Shadow rose again, blood streaming from his chest, yet seemingly unaware, his gaze solely fixed on Isabelle.
Just as Clubs prepared to kill Moon Shadow and the clone Storm Shadow poised for another assault on Isabelle, a sudden explosion reverberated.
The enormous explosion rocked the entire castle.
One of the doors was blown apart, transforming it into a gaping hole, with debris strewn all around.
As the smoke dissipated, Robot George emerged at the entrance, with Sky Eye robot approached Isabelle.
Before anyone could respond, George’s calm robotic voice echoed, “Initiating self–destruct sequence, ten pounds of TNT armed, blast radius five hundred meters, countdown commencing: ten, nine, eight … *
Clubs‘ eyes widened in alarm, and he swiftly turned and sprinted, diving into the underground laboratory.
The clone Storm Shadow and Moon Shadow hurriedly followed, fleeing the area.
In the vast castle hall, Robot George’s indifferent countdown resonated, “Five, four, three…
“Two, one …
As the countdown concluded, the castle stayed silent, and the anticipated explosion never occurred. Instead, the robot released two smoke bombs.
By the time Clubs realised he had been tricked and resurfaced, Isabelle was nowhere to be seen in the hall, leaving only a haze of smoke behind.
Outside the castle, a black SUV sped away, racing into the distance until it became a mere black dot on the horizon.
Tony glanced at the rearview mirror and said, “Ma’am, are you alright? Don’t scare me like this. If something happens to you, I’m in serious trouble too.”
“I’ve contacted our only emergency help, George, and sent out our location. Hold on, Honey,” the robot urged anxiously.
The robot reached out to the boss yesterday. Hang in there,” Tony said, pressing down on the gas pedal.
Isabelle furrowed her brow, her breathing unsteady. “Please drive more smoothly,” she requested, struggling with internal bleeding and unable to endure the jolts.
Tony attempted to maintain a steady pace, but his efforts were hindered when he noticed, “They’re closing in.” He cast a quick glance at the rearview mirror.
Tony’s phone lacked any signal, rendering him unable to reach out to his subordinates at Aviara. Without any of their numbers memorised, calling for backup wasn’t feasible. All he could do was await George’s arrival.
Though there was a barrel of oil in the car, it wouldn’t be enough to get them to Aviara.
