Resurrecting the Genius Within by Calypso Rain Novel -
Chapter 273
Chapter 273 Who is X?
"Instructor Dittman?"
On the screen, Chase had just stepped out of a teacher's office.
George recognised the man on the screen as Isabelle's drill instructor during her military training.
It was clearly a coincidence; it couldn't really be him.
Isabelle glanced at the screen and then switched to a different feed.
Soon, White Owl called, saying he had found Ethan.
Ethan was unconscious in a storage room. White Owl quickly broke in and got him out, checking to make sure he was okay.
He took Ethan downstairs. When he spotted a teacher approaching. White Owl set him down and left.
The teacher found Ethan and took him to the infirmary,
The infirmary's surveillance footage then appeared on Isabelle's computer screen.
"It looks like he's okay. George reassured Isabelle, asking, "Could it be the Dark Shadow?"
Isabelle didn't answer but said, "We'll ask Ethan when he wakes up."
Dylan held his breath. He stared intently at Isabelle in disbelief.
It couldn't be. She wasn't even nineteen yet, but X had made a name eight years ago. How old was she back then?
But because of the familiar techniques, he couldn't be mistaken.
In a flash of realisation, Dylan finally thought of something. He mustered his courage and asked, "Are
you... X?"
He remembered crossing paths with X months ago.
In the math problem challenge, the mysterious person he faced across the screen, whose technique was strikingly similar to X's, was likely the problem solver.
His boss had also faced X but didn't gain an advantage.
And Isabelle had been the problem solver, hadn't she?
"Are you X?" Dylan repeated. He was nervously watching Isabelle, his mind racing with thoughts. Compared with anticipation, he found it unbelievable and challenging to accept.
He had always imagined X to be a cool, aloof guy who wore dark, leisurely clothes and was indifferent to
everyone.
Though X's personality and style had similarities with Isabelle's, the age and gender didn't match.

denying nor acknowledging his question. Dylan understood-that reaction was answer enough. Dylan gasped. His mind was reeling.
"Mr. George, she's X!"

George's response was as indifferent as Isabelle's, except his gaze was
colder and more disdainful.
Dylan came to his realisation and asked, "You knew all along?"
Just from that brief encounter across the screen, even without being completely certain if the mysterious person was Isabelle, his boss had already known? Or had he missed something?
It didn't matter. What mattered was that Isabelle was X!
Dylan felt his world had turned upside down.
He had always considered himself naturally talented with computers, making a name for himself on the hacker boards at a young age. But now he felt like a fool. "But... how?" Dylan still couldn't accept it.
The top-ranked, highly mysterious, and talented X was a girl not even twenty years old.
X, who had burst onto the scene eight years ago and dominated the hacker world, was someone he had idolised, but his idol turned out to be a young girl.
Eight years ago, when Isabelle was only eleven, she had already made a name for herself in the hacker world. Dylan remembered what he was doing at eleven-sneaking snacks. Looking at Isabelle's face, Dylan repeatedly opened his mouth to speak but couldn't find the words.
He needed to calm down.
The doctor glanced at Dylan's mixed expression, unsure whether he was in pain or shock, and wanted to ask if he needed help.
Not long after, Ethan woke up.
Isabelle called him, saying, "The teacher said you fainted at school. What happened? Are you feeling unwell?”
Ethan looked confused and answered, "I don't know. A teacher I didn't recognise asked me to help move some things, so I went with him. Then I fainted. I'm fine now, sis." Isabelle asked, "What did the teacher look like?"
Ethan tried to remember but couldn't. He said, "He was a man. That's all I remember."
"Do you feel unwell?"
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy?

Isabelle said no more. She hung up and turned to George, saying. "He was probably drugged."
George said, "If you have no other enemies, it must be the Dark Shadow. But what was their aim?"
They only drugged Ethan without causing further harm.
Was it a warning?
As expected.
Isabelle confirmed, "A warning."
She understood Dark Shadow's tactics well. Spadille, Heart K, Mist Shadow, Flying Shadow, and Shadowbalde were all killed by her. She knew the Dark Shadow inside out, while they barely knew her
motives.
