Chapter 488 Underground 

Then he suddenly said, “How about you two have a match? Who’s gonna win, who’s gonna lose?” He says this to the girl beside him. 

The girl looks at the screen, watching a girl with skills just like hers. 

Joker casually remarked, “Looks like someone’s injured, huh?” 

On the screen, Isabelle’s arm is all wrapped up tight in chains, like thorny vines with spikes. Her sleeve quickly gets covered in blood spots that spread and spread, the blood dripping down. 

Clubs kept on tightening the chains, winding them tighter and tighter. 

She almost wanted to cut her entire arm into pieces. 

Isabelle tugged on the chains, both of them exerting force. Blood flowed from her fingers as she suddenly let go. Just before the force would have cut her arm into pieces, she took a quick step forward. 

She had to deal with her quickly, or else when Green Sh w and Sword Shadow rushed over, she’d be as good as dead. 

The force pushed Clubs back two steps, and when he stabilised himself, Isabelle was already in front of him. 

Joker commented, “This guy is underestimating his opponent.” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

In the scene, Clubs, his mind clouded by hate, wanting nothing but to take his anger out on Isabelle, found himself suddenly pinned down, his head smacking against the big painting. 

Blood splattered, making the creepy painting even more chilling. 

Isabelle went all out without holding anything back. 

Clubs was scared out of his wits and begged, “You can’t kill me. Without me, you can’t open … ” that door. 

A dagger pierced his weak neck, cutting off the rest of his words. Clubs crashed to the ground, dead with eyes wide open. 

– Isabelle stumbled for a moment, but quickly steadied herself. She slowly looked up at the pinhole camera 

on the painting, locking eyes with Joker through the screen. 

There wasn’t any canvas. The whole painting was on the wall. More precisely, it was a hidden lift wall. 

She reached out and gave the painting a couple of taps, and right in the middle of the wide–open mouth of the abyss, a groove popped up. 

An electronic scanner materialised. 

Isabelle stepped forward directly. 

A mechanical voice sounded ‘Iris recognition successful. 

Joker in front of the screen finally reacted a bit.

His eyes narrowed slightly, focusing on Isabelle as she entered the lift. This reaction was much stronger than when he witnessed Clubs‘ gruesome death just moments ago. 

Isabelle knew where the entrance was, and knowing how to open the door didn’t surprise him. From her familiarity with the castle, he knew Blood Shadow had told her everything about this place. 

I thought Isabelle would use Clubs’iris. 

Did Blood Shadow give her own iris to Isabelle? When did she start planning all of this? 

Aside from being a killer trained by Blood Shadow in secret and having Blood Shadow’s genes in her, what else could Isabelle’s identity be?. 

Joker couldn’t help but glance at the girl just two steps away from him. 

The lift door opened. 

Isabelle appeared in the hallway where she had just fought Clubs. 

The lift door behind her slowly closed, and the painting returned to its original state, oddly, without any 

blood on it. 

There was no sign of Clubs‘ body on the ground, nor were there any traces of the fight they just had. The blood dripping from her arm was also nowhere to be found. 

The floor was spotless, as if everything had been renewed. 

If it weren’t for the blood on her arm and her wounds, you might think that the whole fight with Clubs was just in her head. 

But Isabelle didn’t find anything weird about it. 

After finally making her way from the castle’s entrance hall to here, she was now retracing her steps back to the entrance hall, 

The journey was eerily quiet. 

There should have been Green Shadow and Sword Shadow’s traces of fighting around here, but there was nothing to be seen. 

Isabelle kept moving towards the entrance hall. 

There should’ve been six bodies lying around here, but they were all gone and disappeared into thin air. 

Every trace she and Moon Shadow had left behind along their journey had vanished. 

At one corner, where there should’ve been blood from Moon Shadow’s hand smeared on the wall, there 

was none. 

Even though this spot looked like the castle’s ground floor, she had definitely taken the lift and ended up underground. 

The sound of the waves and wind had quieted down, and the air here wasn’t as fresh as before. Everything pointed to her not being back in the same place. She was definitely underground.

Chapter 488 Underground 

The castle was huge, and Isabelle, feeling a bit worn out from the journey, noticed her steps getting heavier as she walked, a bit more sluggish than before. 

She kept a steady pace, taking her time to catch her breath and regain some energy. 

Finally, she made it back to the entrance hall. 

But there was something new this time. 

There was an extra chair right in the middle of the entrance hall, like it had been put there just for her. 

Feeling a little tired, Isabelle headed straight for the chair and plopped down in it, paying no mind to anyone else. She pulled off her blood–stained sleeve and proceeded to bandage her hand, which had been cut by the blade. 

Then, she looked straight ahead.
