Chapter 1158
Deep down, Neera was actually in a state of panic.
But she knew, at that moment, she absolutely couldn't lose her composure. No matter how scared she was, shecouldn't let it show.
She clenched her hand, her palm full of sweat, striving to keep herself calm and composed. novelbin
As she saw the other party getting closer and closer, a thought suddenly struck her. She reached into her pocketand found a dagger, the very one that Finnley had given her.
In her haste, she flexed her wrist and flung it toward the other party.
After a full day of training, her wrist ached terribly, making it even harder to aim.
The dagger flew out, veered off course, and fell to the ground not far away.
The other party scoffed, their tone dripping with sarcasm.
“With your pathetic little tricks, you think you can hurt others? Stop daydreaming!”
Neera gritted her teeth, her heart sinking heavily. She repeatedly told herself to stay calm.
She still remembered Shane had once said that the use of firearms was not allowed there.
It seemed that no matter how rampant the other party might be, they wouldn't dare to violate the law.
In that case, there was no need to worry about being hit by a bullet.
Right then, she surveyed her surroundings, doing her best to dodge and evade as much as she could.
While dodging, she was also trying to escape from the area.
However, more and more burly men began to gather, blocking her path from all directions.
“Thinking of running away? With your level of stamina, how far do you think you can get? You might as wellsurrender and save us both some energy,” someone mocked.
Meanwhile, Zephyr noticed the situation Neera was in. With a stern expression, he yelled, “Ms. Garcia! Quicklyhide!” He gritted his teeth and wanted to rush over to help her.
However, the person he was entangled with seized the opportunity and landed a heavy punch on him. “Why areyou still trying to help others? Ha! You should take a good look at your own situation first. If you want to saveher, you'll have to see if you have the ability to escape from us first!”
A sharp pain seared through the side of Zephyr's face, his cheek burning intensely. His mouth was also injured,the taste of blood filling his oral cavity.
His face was dark with anger. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, stoodup again, and, without a word, charged back into the fray.
At the same time, the people surrounding Neera, upon seeing the situation on the other side, all let out laughsfilled with contempt and mockery.
Subsequently, they shifted their focus, staring at Neera with half-smiles on their faces. “All right. Now, all we
have to do is capture you, and our mission will be complete,” one of them said.
Neera watched them get closer and closer, her face turning slightly pale.
However, the more she found herself in such situations, the more she felt calm and steady. Since I'm alreadypushed to this point, what else can I possibly fear? I'll just have to do whatever it takes to save myself!
It was as if time had come to a standstill there, and the movements of the people gathering around seemed to haveslowed down.
Just as they were merely half a meter away from her, she seized the opportunity. With a sudden flick of her wrist,she swiftly spun around.
In the next moment, all the medicinal powder in her palm was scattered.
The others had prepared in advance, yet they were all covered in the powder from head to toe, choking andcoughing uncontrollably.
“What the hell is this? I can't even open my eyes!” someone grumbled irritably.
However, in the next second, he fell silent.
Surrounding Neera were four or five burly men, all of whom had been affected. Their skin was covered in a denserash, initially causing a sharp pain followed by an intense itch.
And then, they felt a numbness spreading throughout their bodies, leaving them utterly powerless. One by one,they collapsed to the ground, completely unable to move.
That unexpected turn of events unfolded in just a few seconds. No one saw it coming, and everyone was takenaback, too startled to recklessly approach her.
Neera was watching the medicinal powder take effect, and she was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, right then, something from the darkness approached her.
Neera felt a chill down her spine, keenly aware of the danger looming. Instinctively, she dodged.
In the next moment, she felt a sharp, intense pain in her shoulder.
A dagger whizzed past her side, clattering to the ground with a metallic clanging sound. The blade shimmeredwith a bloody glow.
Neera's expression changed dramatically in an instant, unable to suppress a grunt of pain. She raised her hand tocover the wound, which wouldn't stop bleeding. Had I not noticed and dodged in time, the dagger would havelikely slashed across the major artery in my neck! When the time comes, even if deities were to descend, theywouldn't be able to save me. The other party isn't trying to capture me. They're clearly out to take my life!
Seeing the situation, Zephyr's eyes were filled with a blood-red hue, as if he wished he could split himself in two,rushing over to save her.
Even those who stepped forward to help were in a state of urgency, but they were entangled and couldn't freethemselves.
At that moment, that eerie feeling surfaced again.
A sudden chill of cold sweat crept up Neera's spine. She gathered all her focus, and as she turned her head, shesaw another dagger flying straight toward her.
This time around, it was aiming straight for her heart.
In that moment, Neera's heart nearly sank to the depths.
She wanted to hide, but her body felt as if it was nailed to the spot, completely unable to move her feet.
That was a human's instinctual response. In the face of mortal danger, the body would almost always freeze.
It felt as though her heart was detached from her body. Even at that moment, she had the presence of mind tothink she was probably going to meet her end there. What about Jean? What about my children and my family?
Just at that critical moment, out of nowhere, a stone flew in, striking the flying knife with pinpoint accuracy,knocking it straight to the ground.
Immediately after, a slender figure emerged from the darkness.
