The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean)

Chapter 835

Behind them, several black vehicles were chasing them, and the sound of relentless gunfire echoed through theair.

Neera's heart raced with fear, the constant gunfire making her pulse pound in her chest.

She cautiously lifted her head to look ahead and was shocked to discover that the front windshield had beenstruck by bullets, causing it to crack!

What made matters worse was that after some time, one of the rear tires was also hit by a bullet.

The car suddenly became unsteady, tilting to the left.

If it weren't for Zephyr's driving skills, the vehicle might have flipped over at such a high speed.

After regaining control, Zephyr maintained a firm grip on the steering wheel, pushing the car forward with all hismight.

However, he knew this couldn't go on. Sooner or later, the car would flip over.

He thought quickly, squinted his eyes, and turned to Neil. "I'll find a spot to pull over. When I do, you and Ms.Neera should get out of the car and run, and I'll handle them!"

Neil, utterly shaken by the fierce encounter, was momentarily paralyzed.

Zephyr repeated the order more forcefully, bringing Neil back to his senses. He recalled his mission and forcedhimself to remain calm.

"Okay... okay, I know!"

Zephyr was used to such situations, and even amidst the chaos, he managed to make a phone call.

As soon as the call was through, he didn't bother with pleasantries, quickly reporting the situation to the otherparty.

"We've run into an ambush. They're heavily armed, and it's about 1 mile from Eastaria Golf Course. Please hurryand send backup!"

As soon as Ian heard this, his face was flushed [ale.

He wanted to ask for more details, but the caller had abruptly hung up, leaving only a string of busy signals.

With no time to waste, Ian rushed upstairs and burst into the study without bothering to knock.

"Mr. Beauvort! Something happened to Mrs. Beauvort!"

Jean, focused on his work, was startled by the sudden interruption. He stood up abruptly, causing the documentson his desk to scatter onto the floor.

"What's going on?"

Ian was so anxious that his throat felt constricted as he hurriedly relayed what Zephyr reported.

Upon hearing the news, Jean's expression darkened, and his anger flared.

"Call Cloud and Storm immediately! Arrange our forces immediately!"

Ian nodded, wasting no time as he rushed to make the necessary arrangements.

...

Five minutes later, Zephyr suddenly slammed on the brakes after driving for a while, positioning the car sidewaysin the middle of the road.

There was no one in sight on this stretch of road. After coming to a halt, he turned to Neil.

"Quick! Take Ms. Neera and run as far as you can. Find a hidden spot to hide."

Both Neil and Neera were confused by the sudden stop and the twists and turns of the situation. Their stomachschurned with fear.

Suppressing her unease, Neera gritted her teeth and looked at Zephyr. "What about you? What are you going todo?"

Zephyr didn't hesitate and responded with unwavering determination in his eyes.

"Don't worry about me, Ms. Neera. I can handle this. Just go with Neil, and help will come soon!"

As he spoke, he got two handguns from a hidden compartment of the car.

Neera's breath caught in her throat.

Seeing the pursuing vehicles drawing closer, Zephyr turned to face them and shouted, "Time's running out, gonow!"

Neera clenched her teeth, her legs trembling slightly. However, she understood that staying would only be aburden to Zephyr. novelbin

So, she pinched her thigh hard to force herself to stay calm.

The next moment, she and Neil got out of the car, and without looking back, they started running. Strangely, shefelt calmer than Neil.

As they ran a distance, the sound of intense gunfire echoed from behind them.

Her already rapid heartbeat seemed to pause for a moment.

She paused briefly and prayed silently in her heart, "Zephyr, please be safe!"

Then, she looked ahead and quickly made a decision, "Let's avoid the main road to prevent them from catchingup. We'll head into the forest!"

Neil nodded, immediately following her into the dense woods next to them...
