Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 256 Grudge

“Boss, my dad asked me to come home for dinner. I’ll settle the bill on my way out. You guys can take your time eating. Call me if you need anything.” Danny said hurriedly before running off.

“Blackwater is running smoothly under Badman’s management, and John is back. With the protection of God’s Armament Alliance, we’ve attracted a lot of new blood,” White Owl reported. He asked, “Boss, you called us back from Melfrey for a reason, didn’t you?”

“I killed two high–ranking members of Dark Shadow. They’re looking for revenge. I have a younger brother in school, Isabelle explained briefly.

Her revelation stunned White Owl and Jack.

Isabelle had called to ensure Ethan’s safety. Although George’s people were already protecting Ethan, she felt more comfortable with her own people.

Isabelle had previously mentioned her feud with Dark Shadow to White Owl, but it was news to Jack.

Jack responded, “What’s there to be scared of?”

Jack hoped it wasn’t a snot–nosed little kid who’d need carrying around.

With their former boss’s skills, White Owl thought that Dark Shadow was the only likely culprit capable of taking her down.

He also turned to Isabelle, waiting for an answer.

Isabelle asked, “If it is, are you going to seek revenge?”
