Chapter 160 This is Only the Beginning
Even in the late hour, the blare of car horns continued unabated outside.
This remark made George and Dylan ponder Isabelle's mysterious smile and her use of the word "inconvenience" when she initially moved into the villa. Was it possible that the inconvenience she mentioned involved getting rid of a body?
The idea sent a chill through Dylan.
"Miss Jenkins, who is that individual?" Dylan asked. It was clear that the person was someone Isabelle considered an enemy.
The awareness that she had an enemy made Dylan realise that her previous interactions with George were genuinely for George's safety.
Nevertheless, George dismissed him, saying, "Go outside and find two more people to clean up.”
Dylan agreed with a nod.
After Dylan departed, George looked at Isabelle and inquired, "How did you end up angering someone from Dark Shadow?"
Isabelle clarified, 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 smoking late at night and wanted to ask him about it.
Disregarding her question, George sincerely asked, "How can I help you?"
His question made Isabelle look at him instinctively.
Their eyes locked, with George's stare intense and 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 usual composure.
"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 nonchalantly.
He responded promptly, affirming, "Yes."
Isabelle lapsed 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 hold complete trust in your abilities. Should I need help, I will certainly turn to you." Nonetheless, George detected her courteousness,
He wanted to push a little further, to inquire about her feud with Dark Shadow, but lacked 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 could come to stay at my place, at the Harris Residence.
The phrase "come stay at my place" resonated particularly 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 my complete abilities, whereas I am thoroughly informed about theirs." She added, "Every last detail.
No individual possessed a more profound comprehension of Dark Shadow than herself.
George commented, "They operate as a proficient group of assassins."
The seriousness of the circumstance was undeniable. The members of Dark Shadow were on a different level compared 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?
She couldn't reveal her own history as a 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 this?"
As the gangster's leader, with such a tight bond with Isabelle, he must be cognizant. And if he is aware, he must extend his support.
Isabelle responded, "He knows, and he has faith in me."
The revelation 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 ease now?
George couldn't resist saying "If you require anything, don't hesitate to inform me."
Isabelle smiled and gave a slight nod.

She settled onto the recently installed couch with her laptop, fingers tapping away on the keyboard.
The room had been returned to its former condition, with fresh replacements for the ruined furnishings, and the bloodstains on the walls and 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 the 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, a promise he had indeed fulfilled.
Jasiel Reeve
He even bestowed upon himself such a 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.
