Chapter 160 This is Only the Beginning
Even in thete hour, the re of car horns continued unabated outside.
This remark made George and Dn ponder Isabelle’s mysterious smile and her use of the word “inconvenience” when she initially moved into the vi.
Was it possible that the inconvenience she mentioned involved getting rid of a body?
The idea sent a chill through Dn.
“Miss Jenkins, who is that individual?” Dn asked. It was clear that the person <b>was </b>someone Isabelle considered <b>an </b>enemy.
The awareness that she had an enemy made Dn realise that her previous interactions with George were genuinely for George’s safety.
Nevertheless, George dismissed him, saying, “Go outside and find two more <b>people </b>to clean up.”
Dn agreed with a nod.
After Dn departed, George looked at Isabelle and inquired, “How did you end up angering someone from Dark Shadow?”
Isabelle rified, saying. “It’s not just someone from Dark Shadow. It’s the entire organisation.”
George was stunned into silence, unsure of how to respond.
Suddenly, Isabelle asked, “Have you been smoking?”
As she opened the door, she smelled smoke on his breath. Although she had known him for quite a while, she had never seen him smoke and assumed he didn’t. It was surprising to learn that he did, albeit infrequently.
She was curious about his sudden habit of smokingte at night and wanted to ask him about it.
Disregarding her question, George sincerely asked, “How can I help <b>you</b>?”
His question made Isabelle look at him instinctively.
Their eyes locked, with George’s stare intense <b>and </b>full of emotion, while Isabelle stayed calm and indifferent.
She looked at George, her thoughts unreadable. A brief flicker of emotion crossed her eyes before she regained her usualposure.
“My vendetta with Dark Shadow won’t end until one of us is dead. Tonight is only the beginning. Mr. Harris, do you still want to assist me?” Isabelle asked nonchntly.
He responded promptly, affirming, “Yes.”
Isabellepsed into silence once again.
Shortly after, she turned her eyes away slightly from his countenance. “I am capable of managing this

“But I can help you deal with more than just corpses,” George replied.
With a smile, Isabelle expressed, “Of course, you’re the leader of God’s Armament Alliance. I holdplete trust in your abilities. Should I need help, I will certainly turn to you.”
Nheless, George detected her courteousness,
He wanted to push a little further, to inquire about her feud with Dark Shadow, butcked a solid foundation to delve deeper.
He settled for suggesting. “Why don’t you stay at the school? They wouldn’t dare to act recklessly there. Or. you coulde to stay at my ce, at the Harris Residence.
The phrase e stay at my ce” resonated particrly clearly in Isabelle’s ears.
“The swifter the retaliation, the more advantageous. Evading it will only draw out the suffering. Mr. Harris, fret not. I won’t act hastily.”
Noticing the anxiety in George’s gaze, she appended, inexplicably, “I maintain the advantage in confronting Dark Shadow. They remain oblivious to myplete abilities, whereas I am thoroughly informed about theirs.” She added, “Everyst detail.
No individual possessed a more profoundprehension of Dark Shadow than herself.
Georgemented, “They operate as a proficient group of assassins.”
The seriousness of the circumstance was undeniable. The members of Dark Shadow were on a different levelpared to the hired soldiers in the Melfrey arena.
Having pondered over the adversaries of the Jenkins, George never foresaw Dark Shadow.
Isabelle felt helpless. How could she persuade him that she wasn’t acting rashly?C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.
She couldn’t reveal her own history as <b>a </b>murderer. Dark Shadow was her previous existence, her means of living.
Isabelle asserted firmly, “I won’t endanger my life.”
George asked, “Does Jim know about <b>this</b><b>?</b>”
As the gangster’s leader, with such a tight bond with Isabelle, he must be cognizant. <b>And </b>if he is aware, he must extend his support.
Isabelle responded, “He knows, and he has faith in me.”
The revtion that Jim trusts her rendered George speechless.
It also dawned on George that he didn’t understand her as deeply as he had assumed.
Isabelle asked, “Mr. Harris, do you feel more at <b>ease </b>now?
George couldn’t resist saying “If you require anything, don’t hesitate to inform me.”
Isabelle smiled and gave <b>a </b>slight nod.

She settled onto the recently installed couch with herptop, fingers tapping away on the keyboard.
The room had been returned to its former condition, with fresh recements for the ruined furnishings, and the bloodstains on the walls <b>and </b>floor had been eradicated.
The atmosphere was crisp.
It would be hard for anyone to imagine that a body had been sprawled on the floor just the night before.
As her fingertips danced across the keyboard, the code on <b>the </b>screen swiftly evolved.
With ease, she infiltrated the Taragon City resident database, skillfully sifting through millions of entries until she identified an old acquaintance – Heart K.
This former associate had casually mentioned to her his intentions to retire and establish roots in Taragon City<b>, </b><b>a </b>promise he had indeed fulfilled.
Jasiel Reeve
He even bestowed upon himself such <b>a </b>poetic alias.
Beneath the Dark Shadow, the most formidable branch lurks within Taragon City. Isabelle remains unsure if this branch was now under the leadership of the retired Heart K.
