Isabella recognized the doubt, but she explained nothing. She sighed in resignation and nodded, confirming she would kill Mackenzie.

However, Mackenzie refused to back down. “Why? The Five Poison Sect has caused harm to the world. Why would you help them, Maestro Moretti? No, why would you help Teddy?” noveldrama

The second question explained the first.

Isabella smiled bitterly. “Teddy is my brother.”.

Realization dawned on Rhett and Anna. That explains everything.

“Is that the only reason?” Mackenzie pressed.

She could tell Isabella wasn’t a villain, and she didn’t pursue fame and fortune. Therefore, she wondered why Isabella would help the Five Poison Sect in harming people.

“My older sister requested me to.” Isabella was frank.

“The previous Maestro Moretti?” Th

answer caught Mackenzie off guard. She found it hard to believe. She Could never connect the first Maestro Moretti, an enchanting dancer, to a notorious organization like the Five Poison Sect.

Isabella understood the turmoil in Mackenzie’s mind, and she offered, “If you’re not in a hurry, I would like to tell you a story.”

Mackenzie nodded.

Isabella gestured for her to sit down.

Mackenzie sat down while Rhett and Anna stood beside her like guard dogs. They carefully assessed their surroundings to see if there was a chance to escape.

Isabella sat elegantly and began her story. “It all started thirty years ago. It was the eve of the presidential election. The candidates worked hard to get the votes from the West End. The Five Poison Sect’s influence in the West End troubled the authorities for centuries. Back then, the Wolf Warrior Unit wasn’t found Chanaea also didn’t have advanced weapons. The Five Poison Sect was also stronger than it is now. Even if the country wanted to eradicate the Five Poison Sect, it was impossible.“.

Mackenzie nodded, agreeing with her words.

yet.

Isabella continued, “At that time, my sister, Jane, was moved by Artemis‘ political views. She came to the West End to help him win the votes. Her beauty surpassed mine. When the sect leader saw her for the first time, he was captivated and vowed to make her his wife”

Anna glanced at Rhett, thinking she was exaggerating.

Although Isabella was no longer young, she was clearly beautiful in her youth, and Anna was certain her beauty was on par with Mackenzie’s.

If what she said about her older sister was true, Jane must have otherworldly beauty.

“For the prosperity of Chanaea and the well–being of the Chanaeans, Jane agreed to the leader’s request with one condition. She asked the Five Poison Sect to stop causing harin for thirty years. The former leader was infatuated with her. He agreed to her reques to capture her heart. votes for appeasing the Five Poison Sect. It eventually led to his successful presidency?

Artemis obtained many

“I see” Mackenzie had no idea about the story. Judging from Isabella’s expression, she reckoned it was true.

“What happened next?” She was immersed in the story and curious about how things unfolded. She knew Jane was Santiago’s wife, not the sect leader’s.

“Later on, two extraordinary fighters bravely infiltrated the Five Poison Sect for Jane. Together, they assassinated the sect leader amidst a sea of enemies!”

“What?” Rhett and Anna blurted out.

According to Isabella’s story, the Five

Poison Sect was even more formidable thirty years ago. Besides, it was a united front back then. The idea of two people infiltrating the headquarters and killing the leader was unbelievable.

Rhett doubted he could do it even if bo

cooperated with Emmanuel.

Ignoring their astonishment, Isabella calmly continued. “The sect leader was deeply in love with Jane. Before he died, he had the opportunity to kill her, but he chose not to. Instead, he passed on his ring and made her the new leader.”

Upon hearing this, Mackenzie couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

The sect leader might be a villain, but he was also a man who loved Jane to a fault.

Such profound love always had a way of moving people.

Isabella sighed softly. “Although Jane didn’t love him, his feelings touched her. He had many opportunities to force himself on her, but he chose not to, allowing her to retain her innocence. Before he died, he promised her the sect’s fate was up to her. He would fulfill his promise even if it meant his death.”

Even Rhett and Anna were moved by the story. They would never anticipate the unforgivable leader of the Five Poison Sect to be a devoted lover.

“Lastly, the sect leader was dead. Although Jane never liked him, she never got over his death. Her presence refrained the Five Poison Sect from committing crimes, but they returned to their old ways after her passing. A leopard truly never changes its spots, huh?” Isabella exhaled deeply. “Jane entrusted the Five Poison Sect to me before she died. She said she owed it to the previous leader and hoped I could continue to restrain the sect and protect them.”

The story ended there.

Mackenzie’s group remained silent for a long time as emotions overwhelmed them.

“Ms. Quillen, I failed to restrain them, but I must fulfill my promise to Jane and protect them. You must leave immediately.” Isabella repeated her request.

Everyone turned to Mackenzie for instruction.

Mackenzie pursed her lips and firmly rejected, “Maestro Moretti, I’m sorry! We aren’t leaving. Indeed, yo sister’s story is tragic and moving, but it’s not my promise to keep. I promised to eradicate the Five Poison

Sect and give the people of the West End a peaceful world!”

“Well said!” Anna praised excitedly. For a moment, she feared Mackenzie would give in and agree. Their efforts until now would be in vain if Mackenzie changed her mind.

Isabella anticipated things wouldn’t go smoothly, and she shook her head. “In that case, I must kill you.”

“Maestro Moretti, have you forgotten something?” Rhe, who had been silent all along, spoke up. “Although your mechanism has separated us from the rest, the Holy Guardian will always protect the Saintess. You made it sound so easy.”

Isabella smiled bitterly, “I know it’s not easy, but I must try for Teddy’s and Jane’s sakes.

As the words left her, the atmosphere tensed.

Anna immediately assumed a fighting stauce, not daring to underestimate the two enemies standing before her.
