"But you still fell for the trap, didn’t you?"
Isabelle smiled brightly/ She took a step closer and raised her hand to take off Duke’s mask.
Duke grabbed her wrist before it reached his face.
"Miss Isabelle, do you really think that you have won?" Isabelle smirked.
"Of course I have."
The two hundred officers here were all her men, and she carried more than one weapon.
There was simply no way she would lose.She chuckled.
"Terry, I fancy you.If you obediently become mine, I will consider letting you live."
"And if I refuse?" Duke asked coldly.
"Then I'll tie you up, tear down your willpower and torture your spirit until you give in...."
Before she could even finish her sentence, the roaring sound of propellers resounded over the Soux
River.
Isabelle raised her head and saw the unexpected arrival of dozens of fighter jets.
The atmosphere grew tense.
Several people also appeared on the high ground south of the Soux River.
The person who stood at the frontlines was a woman.Her hair was coiled up high and she wore an off-
white trench coat, which stood out among the army green color of the soldiers.She held a megaphone
and bellowed, "Black Party members, you are surrounded.
Kindly keep your hands where we can see them and await your capture peacefully."Elder Maurice
paled.
"It’s Queen Mavice of Yggdra, why is she here?"
"You did this?!" Isabelle stared incredulously at Duke.
"You colluded with the queen? You traitor! Snake! You don’t deserve to be the leader of Black Party!"
Bang!
It was unclear who had fired the first shot, but everything turned into chaos.
Gunshots rang out.
Elder Dorien tried to flee in the confusion but got shot in the head.
Elder Maurice looked at the resolute Isabelle and hissed, "Belle, Yggdra has strong military resources,
we can’t win against them.We must leave immediately!"
He was less worried about burying the bodies of his men, and more worried about his own life.
Isabelle shot Terry a hateful look.She had been so pleased with herself but was humiliated like this!
Someday, she would redeem herself and pay it back.
Elder Maurice took his daughter’s hand in his left and pistol in his right hand.
Together, they made their escape while fighting back.
Beside Duke, Blake raised his gun and sent a bullet flying into the back of Isabelle’s head...
Bang!
The shot rang out as the bullet sped through the air.
Elder Maurice looked behind and screamed, "Belle, get down!"
Isabelle slowed her movements by a split second and Elder Maurice used backhand to push her
down.The bullet went through Elder Maurice's face, leaving a hole in his forehead.
"Father!" Isabelle held on to Elder Maurice’s falling body, tears pouring from her eyes as though a dam
had broken.
"Father, wake up! Wake up, please!"
Elder Maurice’s eyes were open, but he was no longer breathing.
"Miss, run!"
An officer dragged Isabelle away and they escaped into the forest.
"Don’t let Elder Maurice’s sacrifice be in vain, let's preserve our strength."
In a daze, Isabelle let herself be dragged away. Duke squinted.
"Go after them. Find Isabelle and shoot her on sight!"
That woman was extremely hostile toward Addy, he would never let Isabelle live. The members of
Black Party were basically under his control now.
