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.

Noticing Jack’s reaction, Isabelle asked with a smile, “Scared?”

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

Having travelled all the way to this civilised city to babysit a small child, he felt somewhat displeased.

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

“Why did you fall out with Dark Shadow? Was our previous boss, No–Name, also killed by Dark Shadow?” Jack’s voice grew agitated as he spoke, feeling more certain that this was the case.

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?”
