Chapter 453 Value
He held himself in high regard.

“You’d be wise not to decline; unless you’re absolutely sure, then pretend I never showed up,” he advised..
“If you manage to take down Dark Shadow, I’ll owe you big time,” he added earnestly.
Isabelle met his gaze, rain cascading around them, her voice slightly muffled, “The thing about me and Blood Shadow is…”
Both Moon Shadow and George fixed their attention on her.
In a charged moment, Isabelle confessed. “You’ll never know.” Even George remained in the dark about Moon Shadow’s identity. And he wants me to come clean? He’s nothing. He can piss off with his proposition for all I care.
Isabelle had a penchant for not taking anyone too seriously.
Moon Shadow approached, resigned to playing the passive role. Faced with no other option but defection, he found himself compelled to join forces with her against Joker.
Otherwise, he’d be condemned to a life of perpetual hiding in the shadows, akin to a rat in the sewers, assuming he could evade detection. The repercussions of being exposed were dire
Despite sensing Isabelle’s arrogance, Moon Shadow couldn’t deny her prowess. She effortlessly dispatched Spadille and Heart K, displaying formidable strength.
This only piqued Moon Shadow’s curiosity further.
That was not the end of her arrogance. Isabelle casually remarked, “I’ll reach out when I need your help.”
Moon Shadow remained silent.
Isabelle continued. “I recall your close ties with Flowing Shadow”
Moon Shadow regarded her with astonishment, “Did Blood Shadow inform you?”

his shoulders. Sensing a chill, she realized he had draped his coat around her.
Dressed lightly. George found solace in the warmth emanating from Isabelle, relishing the intimate contact, especially since it was Isabelle who had initiated it.
When he suggested carrying her, Isabelle didn’t protest, instead instinctively offering assistance with the umbrella. George grasped her unspoken desire, opting not to suggest hailing a taxi.
As he bore Isabelle on his back, her voice drifted close to his ear, “That person just now was an assassin from Dark Shadow, called Moon Shadow.”
Curious, George inquired, “Has he turned his back on Dark Shadow?”
Isabelle affirmed, “Yes.”
George inclined his head slightly, pondering aloud, “Can we trust him? Dark Shadow is notorious for its deception; everyone is a master of disguise. Could this be a ploy?
Their breath mingled in the damp air.
Isabelle explained, “If he doesn’t betray Dark Shadow, he’s as good as dead.”
Perplexed, George pressed, “Why is that?”
“Dark Shadow has perfected cloning technology; the desert castle serves as a cloning hub,” Isabelle divulged.
George was taken aback. “They’re making clones?”
