Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 273 Who is X?

“Instructor Dittman?”

On the screen, Chase had just stepped out of a teacher’s office.

George recognised the man on the screen as Isabelle’s drill instructor during her military training.

It was clearly a coincidence; it couldn’t really be him.

Isabelle glanced at the screen and then switched to a different feed.

Soon, White Owl called, saying he had found Ethan.

Ethan was unconscious in a storage room. White Owl quickly broke in and got him out, checking to make sure he was okay.

He took Ethan downstairs. When he spotted a teacher approaching. White Owl set him down and left.

The teacher found Ethan and took him to the infirmary,

The infirmary’s surveillance footage then appeared on Isabelle’s computer screen.

“It looks like he’s okay. George reassured Isabelle, asking, “Could it be the Dark Shadow?”

Isabelle didn’t answer but said, “We’ll ask Ethan when he wakes up.”

Dylan held his breath. He stared intently at Isabelle in disbelief.

But because of the familiar techniques, he couldn’t be mistaken.

In a flash of realisation, Dylan finally thought of something. He mustered his courage and asked, “Are
