Chapter 399 Hypnotising

“Tell me, what’s your name?”

Joshua’s voice echoed hauntingly in the vast living room, sometimes distant, sometimes near, ethereal,

and clusive.

Like a manipulated marionette, the girl blinked heavily and spoke haltingly, “Isabelle… Jenkins.”

Joshua asked, “What’s your brother’s name?”

“Ethan… Jenkins.”

Joshua asked, “Who is Jim to you?”

“My… friend.”

Joshua asked, “Did you kill Spadille and Heart K?”

“Yes”

Joshua looked at her and continued, “What’s the name of the person you like? Tell me.”

The girl seemed to have no answer and didn’t respond for a while.

Joshua asked, “Why did you choose to oppose Dark Shadow?”

“Blood… Shadow.”

Joshua asked. Tell me, where is Blood Shadow?”

Isabelle replied, “Guess it.”

Her voice was mischievous and playful, with a hint of mischief in her smile.

Joshua was momentarily taken aback, then suddenly met the girl’s bright, clear eyes. He felt a shock in his heart.

He reacted quickly, but Isabelle’s leg was faster than his. With all her strength, she kicked Joshua, who was sitting in the chair, sending him flying out, along with the chair.

The chair shattered into pieces, and Joshua crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Two ribs in his chest were broken.

Joshua was nearly knocked unconscious by the force of the kick.

With this kick, Joshua now understood Isabelle’s strength.

He couldn’t believe it, struggling to climb up from the ground, clutching his chest. He wasn’t in a hurry to

escape.

Isabelle was heavily poisoned, and her hands were still cuffed, making it easy for him to break free.

Isabelle lazily lifted her leg. Without even looking at the handcuffs on her wrist, she expertly–as if she had

did it without even wrinkling her brow.

Expressionless, Isabelle calmly restored her thumb to its original position under Joshua’s astonished gaze.

Joshua stared at Isabelle on the sofa in shock. The handcuffs were custom–made, smaller than usual, and made of iron–like hard material. Besides a key, there was no way to open them.

Joshua asked, “When did you figure me out?”

Joshua thought carefully and couldn’t recall any mistakes he had made, except for one possibility. “Was it Jim?”

Could it be that I was suspected after hypnotising Jim last time?

Impossible! My hypnotism was the most advanced in the entire Death Gate, and I had never failed before.

Isabelle said, “From the you appeared.”

moment

Compared to the shrewd George, who dealt with the business world every day, Isabelle, who navigated the edge of life and death daily, had seen evil people more often. She was a master of stealth and assassination herself. Naturally, she was inherently more suspicious.

She didn’t even trust the dead.

With Joshua brazenly appearing in front of her so frequently, how could she not be suspicious?

At first, Isabelle suspected Joshua’s face was fake, but she confirmed that he wasn’t wearing a disguise.

There were no signs of plastic surgery on his face either.

This was his true appearance.

Joshua was also cautious. He only used the computer she gave him for superficial work. Dark Shadow knew she wouldn’t easily believe it, but Dark Shadow was relying on Joshua’s face!

Isabelle’s eyes flashed with a cold, killing intent towards Dark Shadow.

She said, “Acting with you is tiresome and boring.”

It’s more interesting to act against George.

Joshua asked, “Have you been acting with me all along? Including George?”

Isabelle replied, “If you don’t move soon, he’ll get jealous, and I’ll lose patience, too.”

Of course, it’s all an act.

After finishing the second act, George had some complaints on the way back and sent her a message: ‘Do you have to bring up age?‘

Isabelle: ‘Why get so deeply into character?‘

George: ‘After all, it’s a fact. It’s hard to avoid getting into character

Dylan was comforting George nervously at the time, worrying about both of them. Still, George was secretly amused reading Isabelle’s messages from behind.

George: ‘I did pretty well in my acting, didn’t I?‘

Isabelle: The lines were a bit melodramatic.

George: ‘Your lines were too harsh. They got to me. I’ll do better next time.

Joshua asked, “What about Jim?”

Isabelle answered, “He said your hypnosis skills are pretty good.”

Joshua couldn’t believe it. At that time, he was hiding outside the door, cavesdropping on Jim and Isabelle’s phone calls, reporting his situation, and even trying to match Isabelle. He was truly a good doctor.

But before he could dispel his doubts, he left with the key.

Jim quickly told Isabelle, “This guy’s hypnosis skills are something. I almost fell for his tricks just now. Be careful.

Isabelle’s suspicion was to be expected. He had thought that after she had tried to hit him with a steel pipe. last time and tested him, he had dispelled some of her doubts.
