Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 179 Confrontation

Neither of them spoke.

Jasiel continued. “For years, I’ve devoted myself to Dark Shadow. But in the end, Joker guards against me like a thief. He would never let me leave the organisation, yet he withholds any true authority from me as well. If you both manage to survive and rise to my position in the next ten or twenty years, you’ll find yourselves trapped like puppets, just like me.”

He went on, “I’ve got the Harris Group under my control now. It won’t be too long before I’m running their company.

Both of them looked at Jasiel in surprise.

Jasiel smiled. “If you agree to work for me, the Harris Group won’t just be mine; it will be yours as well.”

“I simply need you to work for me. I’m not asking you to betray Dark Shadow. Young man, I want you to think long–term. Don’t limit your talents to a single organization. I can offer you a much broader horizon.”

Jasiel asked, “How about it?”

Just as they were unsure how to respond, the cabin door was suddenly pulled open from the outside, making a loud noise.

Jasiel frowned and looked over in annoyance, expecting to see his adopted son, Josh. The person who entered wasn’t Josh; it was someone Jasiel never expected.

“I didn’t expect the honourable old Mr. Reeve to be so skilled at brainwashing. Such a waste not joining pyramid scheme.” Isabelle set a gasoline canister on the ground and casually shut the door.

You? Jasiel looked at her in astonishment. His gaze swept over the bucket of gasoline she had brought in.

Isabelle scanned the three men at the table and smiled.

All three of them were old acquaintances of hers.

The Taragon branch of Dark Shadow was managed by Mist Shadow and Flying Shadow; the strongest branch was overseen by two assassins from the Shadow team.
