Chapter 1230


    Chapter 1230 Close Combat


    When Jewel discovered that Phantom was at the casino through North’s investigation, she asked him


    to help find the address of Phantom’s residence. Olivia was right. I can’t go to Double Dragon Court to


    hold them ountable. But now, Phantom, the enemy who almost killed me, is right in front of my


    eyes. How could I possibly remain indifferent? I must seek my revenge.


    There was a security guard stationed at the entrance of Phantom’s neighborhood, but it was past


    1.00AM, a time when everyone felt sleepy.


    She didn’t want to alert the security guard, so she decided to climb over the wall. Moreover, since the


    surveince cameras had already been disabled by the little guy, she didn’t feel the need to hide or


    avoid anything and boldly went to Phantom’s house.


    She then took out two thin wires from her pocket and began working on the door lock.


    Simple lockpicking like this was something they had been trained in. It didn’t pose a challenge for her.


    However, there might be some noise while picking the lock. If Phantom wasn’t in a deep sleep, she


    would definitely be alerted.


    Yet, Phantom was too arrogant. She prided herself on her martial arts skills and didn’t think she needed


    the police. However, she wouldn’t dare to call the police even if she wanted to. After all, the police were


    still investigating her.


    Click! The lock clicked open, but instead of immediately entering the house, Jewel kicked the door


    open and hid behind the wall.


    As expected, the moment the door opened, a small dart was thrown directly toward the door. It was


    incredibly fast, and if it weren’t for her early precautions, she would likely have been a corpse by now.


    Seeing that the dart didn’t hit its target, Phantom was about to close the door, but Jewel kicked it open


    again, causing Phantom to stumble back a few steps.


    Jewel immediately followed, swiftly entering the house and hooking her foot to close the door behind


    her.


    It was obvious that Phantom didn’t expect it to be Jewel, as a look of surprise crawled across her face.


    “It’s you?” She then chuckled and said, “You’re quite lucky.”


    “It’s only because of my determination to kill you that I’m still alive,” Jewel sneered.


    “Hah!” Phantom openly mocked. “So, are you here to meet your death today?”


    At her provocation, Jewel replied seriously, “No. I’m here to send you to hell!” With that, she swiftly


    drew a dagger from her boot and thrust it toward Phantom.


    With a frown, Phantom skillfully evaded the attack.


    Yet, Jewel immediately followed, not allowing any distance between them. Phantom’s darts only


    worked at a distance, but closebat was Jewel’s strong suit. She relentlessly pressed on with one


    move after another, denying Phantom any chance to catch her breath.


    Although she hadn’t trained as rigorously in recent years as she did at Double Dragon Court, her


    reflexes were still intact. Moreover, today she came with the determination to obtain the antidote, even


    if it meant not killing Phantom. That was why her fighting style was reckless, with a willingness to risk


    her own life.


    Phantom was never good at closebat. Back at Double Dragon Court, she envied Jewel’s


    fearlessness. In closebat training, Jewel was always the first, while she was always thest. She


    never expected that even after so many years, Jewel’s skills would remain the same. No, rather than


    her martial arts skills, it’s more urate to say that her fearless spirit is still the same as before.


    On the contrary, she had always beencent about her poison darts and never seriously trained.


    Now, she found herself unable to use the darts effectively and was left with only defensive moves,


    without any opportunity to strike back.


    In the end, she didn’t care about losing face anymore. She began incessantly dodging, weaving


    through the couch, coffee table, and dining table.


    With a leap, she flipped to the other side of the table and simultaneously pulled out a dart from her


    pocket, throwing it directly at Jewel.


    Jewel sidestepped the dart and vaulted over the table. At the same time, she delivered a series of


    sweeping kicks that sent Phantom crashing into a chair.

    Then, she gracefullynded next to Phantom and bent down, then lifted Phantom into the air.


    At this moment, Phantom urgently shouted, “Wait!”
