The man took a deep breath in the darkness. The girl's growing understanding of them starts to instil fear in him. It was like hunters were hiding in the shadows, and he was the one laid bare, showing all his weak

spots.

His scalp prickled.

"Joker" was the code name for their organization's boss, not referring to a clown but to the top card.

The leaders and masterminds of the Dark Shadow go by nicknames based on playing card symbols like spades, hearts, and clubs,

Their assassins also have

various code names,

Leading the pack were the ten ace assassins known as the "Shadow".

At the top of this group was the infamous "Blood Shadow", striking fear into everyone's hearts and leaving others in the dust with unmatched skills.

The skilled assassin who failed a mission and ended up buried at sea a few months back, their senior.

The guy's code name was the series of numbers on his back.

As the man looked surprised, Isabelle kept on, "You've been keeping tabs on me for days, what did you dig up?"

She added, "Or to put it differently, what's Joker trying to figure out from me?"

The man stayed quiet.

Isabelle nonchalantly twirled the silver needle in her hand. "I hate stubborn fools who don't know when to listen.

Her voice was soft but sent a chilling sensation through the man.

Isabelle got up, and then she approached and squatted down in front of him.

He held his breath, nervously swallowing, his eyes fixed on the cold needle tip between the girl's fingers.

The thin needle tip brushed-against his face, its chilly touch sticking to his skin as the girl moved it around.

Then, she slowly said, "I've got a thousand ways to make you spill it."

As the words fell, the silver needle suddenly pierced a certain acupoint. The man groaned in pain, cold. sweat instantly breaking out again, the muscles beneath his skin twitching fiercely, making him wonder if she had pulled his nerves out. The pain caused his breath to quicken and cold chills to run down his spine.

Another needle pierced him, and this time he couldn't hold back his cry of pain. He tried to struggle, to roll around to alleviate the agony, but he couldn't move at all. The sensation was unbearable. "Just kill me!" he shouted angrily.

She proceeded calmly.

His mental defences were gradually pierced by Isabelle. One needle at a time, until he could bear it no longer.

In agony, he cried out, "Okay! I'll talk

Isabelle interrupted, "Should have spoken up earlier and saved yourself the pain."

Struggling to steady himself, he finally said, "Joker suspects you have a connection with Blood Shadow, the ace assassin in our organization."

Isabelle once again held up the silver needle in her hand, her expression devoid of emotion. I'm not interested in hearing nonsense."

The man's scalp tightened. "Joker suspects you're a killer trained in secret by Blood Shadow."

Isabelle said, "Go on."

"At first, you replaced No Name in the Duel Tournament, becoming the new boss of Blackwaters on behalf of Blood Shadow. Joker suspects you're a killer trained by Blood Shadow. But through observation, it's been noticed that not only do you and Blood Shadow share similar skills in combat, but you also both have the ability to use silver needles for both lethal and life-saving purposes and... Jim."

Jim and Blood Shadow had a tight bond in the past, so his sudden closeness to Isabelle naturally raised suspicions.

That was why he took a risk tonight to observe Isabelle further, but it backfired, leading to his

The man responded, "So, Joker suspects you're a replica of Blood Shadow."

Isabelle grimaced as if she had tasted something vile. "Disgusting."

The man was puzzled by Isabelle's remark.

Naturally, he couldn't grasp it because he wasn't aware that it was their leader, Joker, and those old guys who truly wanted to replicate Blood Shadow!

Their intentions went beyond just cloning her genes. They also aimed to betray her after using her, exploiting the guise of their supposed "nurturing" to control her. And now, they dared to tarnish her with their filthy, disgusting thoughts!

Isabelle asked, "Do they think everyone is as dirty as they are?"

She collected her thoughts. "What else?"

The man replied, "Orders from above cautioned me against alerting you. We didn't intend to provoke you. If you don't have any ties with Blood Shadow, the Dark Shadow is willing to take you in." Isabelle asked, "And if I do?"

The man stared at her for a moment before answering, "Kill you."

me?"

He shook his head. Besides himself, he was unaware of any others.

Now Isabelle questioned, "How did Blood Shadow die?"

The man paused briefly before answering honestly, "Mission failure, ended up at the bottom of the sea."

"Hehe." Isabelle chuckled coldly.

Her laughter dripped with sarcasm as if she had just heard the most absurd joke.
