Chapter 838
When they arrived, it was the moment when Zephyr was most vulnerable.
To buy some time, he hid himself behind a car, using it as a shield to avoid the relentless gunfire from Draco.
However, the car had endured numerous shots and was now riddled with holes.
The distance from which Draco was shooting was steadily decreasing, making it more dangerous.
Having confirmed that Zephyr was now without defenses, Draco grew more audacious and approachedconfidently.
For now, Zephyr's only option was to hide behind another vehicle.
Yet, in the face of Draco's relentless barrage of bullets, he couldn't move at all.
Damn it!
If only he prepared more bullets!
While his eyes frantically scanned for a place to seek cover, footsteps were closing in on him.
It turned out that Draco had suddenly quickened his pace, closing the gap between them. The menacing blackmuzzle of his firearm pressed against Zephyr's forehead.
"Let's see where else you can run," Draco intoned eerily, peering down at him. "Game's over, time to saygoodbye."
Zephyr's gaze remained unwavering.
He was no stranger to having a gun pointed at his head.
Even in this critical moment, just a few steps from impending doom, he managed to maintain his composure.With a deliberate motion, he rose to his feet, and the gun's muzzle followed suit, never leaving his brow.
Draco mocked, "You're on the brink of having your head blown off, yet you remain remarkably composed."
He followed up with narrowed eyes and a sinister grin, "Such a shame, for you're about to take a one-way trip tohell!"
As he uttered these words, he began to pull the trigger...
At this crucial moment, two abrupt screeches of brakes seized Draco's attention.
It was Ian who came! novelbin
Zephyr's immediate thought was of that man, and he felt a surge of relief.
"You arranged for reinforcements in advance?" Draco was genuinely surprised that someone had come at thisprecise moment. He was momentarily dumbfounded, but then his brows furrowed as he turned to look at Zephyr,his gaze filled with murderous intent.
This time, Zephyr's smile turned icy.
"Yes, you didn't expect this, did you?"
Just as he finished those words casually, Ian, Storm, Cloud, and others got out of the car.
And the moment they stepped out, they all drew their firearms and pulled the triggers!
"Bang! Bang! bang!"
Three gunshots erupted nearly simultaneously, and they all found their mark!
Cloud's shot struck Draco's wrist with precision, causing immediate pain and sending his weapon clattering to theground.
Ian's bullet hit Draco's shoulder, rendering his arm temporarily useless.
Storm's shot hit the opponent's knee.
Draco was taken aback, hobbling back two steps. The searing pain in his knee left him unable to maintain hisstance, and he crumpled to the ground.
Zephyr walked away from the gates of hell, exhaling a sigh of relief.
He leaned against the car and breathed heavily.
At that moment, Jean rushed over, her eyes piercing like sharp arrows.
"Neera? Where is she?"
Zephyr gestured behind him and urgently said, "Ms. Neera and Neil ran in that direction. Hurry, a killer is chasingafter them!"
Jean's expression darkened considerably.
He turned to Draco, as though he were looking at a dead man.
"Ian, keep watch here. Storm and Cloud, come with me!"
"Yes!" The three of them responded in unison.
In an instant, Jean led Storm and Cloud, following the path Zephyr pointed...
Meanwhile, Neera and the two of them were still navigating through the thick forest.
Neil's fall had injured his waist, making it impossible for him to run. So, he could only limp along.
Ten minutes later, Neera heard faint footsteps approaching from behind, and her heart skipped a beat.
Neil was drenched in sweat, his face pallid with fear.
"Is... is it the enemy? Or perhaps Zephyr?" He asked, still holding onto a glimmer of hope, considering Zephyr'sformidable abilities.
But as Neera listened to the footsteps, she noticed that while they were swift, they were also systematic, notfrantically searching for someone else.
She pursed her lips and shook her head, "No, it seems like it's the enemy."
Disappointment washed over Neil's face as he asked, "What should we do? Where can we escape to now?"
Neera surveyed their surroundings and inquired, "Can you keep moving? We need to pick up the pace."
Grimacing, Neil gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes."
In this critical moment, he had no choice but to push himself, knowing that standing still meant risking their lives.
However, Neera could see that his condition was deteriorating rapidly. Forcing himself to continue would likelycause permanent damage to his waist and spine.
With that in mind, she made a quick decision, "Here's the plan. You'll find a hiding spot and stay quiet. I'll lurethem away from you."
Despite his intense fear, Neil didn't want Neera to face danger alone.
"No, I'll go with you."
Neera, however, had made up her mind, "No more arguments. I'll go, and you'll do as I say. Remember, find asafe hiding place!"
