Chapter 428 Finally, George Came!
Before she could catch her breath, another blade descended towards her head.
The clash of swords reverberated as the small dagger once more intercepted the lengthy blade. Isabelle delivered a swift kick to the man’s abdomen, harnessing the force to retreat several metres. Crumpling onto the gritty earth, she expelled blood with each cough.
Several shadowy figures, reminiscent of nighttime harvesters, initiated another assault.
Clutching the small blade firmly, she rallied the profound animosity within her to rise again, resolved to retaliate against her foes.
With a single knee touching the ground, she resisted the grasp of demise.
The shadowy figures swiftly converged.
Abruptly, the atmosphere resonated with the thunderous roar of machine guns, hurling sand and pebbles in every direction.
Several off–road cars emerged from the darkness, their passengers brandishing machine guns and unleashing volleys upon the shadowy figures. Understanding the shift in fortunes, the shadowy figures withdrew into the sandy expanse.
Nevertheless, the danger was far from over.
As Isabelle’s sight grew hazy, she discerned the figure emerging from the car. It was Josh again.
Reminiscing about the encounter at Jim’s residence in Southeast Ardon, Josh had enigmatically cautioned her: ‘Stay vigilant of those who stand beside you.‘
His words alluded to the fak
Joshua.
This individual had been monitoring her every action.
Pausing briefly to regain her composure, Isabelle slumped to the ground once again.
Josh neared and hoisted the bruised Isabelle into the car, instructing his associates, “Escort her elsewhere.”
– In an unexpected twist, a shadowy figure surfaced from beneath the sand.
In an instant, he took down two of Josh’s men, then vanished into the sand, only to reemerge and dispatch two more of Josh’s men before they could retaliate. The desert was their main, granting them the ability to manoeuvre effortlessly like aquatic creatures in the water.
Josh promptly closed the car door.
Taking hold of a machine gun from his subordinates, he opened fire at the shadowy figure, as others directed their weapons underground and unleashed a storm of bullets.
The off–road car raced off with the severely wounded Isabelle.
Soon after their getaway, a dubious car followed closely behind.

Chapter 428 Finally, George Camel
These were the pursuers from the castle before.
Finished
Stepping hard on the accelerator, the driver found his car surrounded and besieged from all directions.
In a terrifying chase, the distance between them diminished swiftly,
With a momentary lapse of attention, a car suddenly appeared on the left and collided with them. Despite the driver’s frantic efforts to swerve, they couldn’t evade the collision.
A tremendous crash echoed as the off–road car tumbled several times, kicking up a cloud of dust, before falling silent.
The convoy surrounded the overturned off–road car, inspecting the wreckage.
But they only found the severely injured driver.
Isabelle mysteriously vanished.
Shortly thereafter, a streak of blood was spotted on the ground, tracing to a figure slipping away under the cloak of darkness.
“There she goes!”
“Chase her down!”
The assassins hurried back to their cars and gave chase.
The roar of engines intensified as a dozen desert cars pursued their prey like ravenous wolves, converging from all sides.
Battling exhaustion, Isabelle crumbled to the ground, burdened by weariness.
With a ringing in her ears, she strained to discern the approaching car, her grip failing to secure the small blade in her hand.
Her eyes betrayed a hint of defiance.
In a daze, she caught sight of something glinting overhead.
In mere moments, a bomb plummeted from the sky, precisely blasting the car ahead into pieces.
Isabelle felt a wave of scorching heat engulf her, narrowly avoiding being caught in the blast radius of the bomb. She found herself unable to move, overwhelmed by the ordeal.
Above the night sky, a dozen helicopters emerged.
Bombs rained down one after another, causing the ground cars to scatter in panic. In the blink of an eye, the cars were reduced to rubble.
The targets were too conspicuous, prompting the assassins to abandon their cars.
The helicopter blades whipped the ground into a frenzy of sand and dust. One helicopter touched down nearby, and a towering figure emerged from the turmoil, rushing toward her. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

George froze in shock at the sight before him, his breath hitching in his throat. A chill crept through his limbs as he gently gathered the girl into his embrace.
“Isabelle?” he uttered tentatively, hesitating to reach out to her.
At that instant, Isabelle fought for each breath, her condition teetering on the brink of peril. With great effort, she managed to articulate to him, “Internal organs… bleeding … surgery needed.”
George’s complexion drained of all colour. He exclaimed with urgency, “We need to get you to the hospital right away.” With resolve, he lifted her up and hastened toward the waiting helicopter.
As Jim descended from another helicopter and boarded theirs, his expression shifted to one of concern upon seeing Isabelle drenched in blood, causing his complexion to pale.
Jim asked, “How did she get hurt like this?”
George urged the pilot to take off immediately.
At that moment, Isabelle gripped his hand tightly, their eyes meeting in understanding. George immediately caught her silent plea and signalled the pilot to stop.
She then relayed a set of coordinates to Jim and said, “Find the castle and ensure its destruction. No exceptions.
Her eyes glinted with a fierce resolve and hostility.
Jim had never seen her like this. Despite enduring severe torment from Dark Shadow in her previous life, she had always maintained her composure. She had never shown such a response when faced with Dark Shadow.
