Chapter 813 Alfonso Is Courting Death Jean’s pupils shrunk dramatically. He quickly dragged Neera back and anxiously asked, “Are hurt?”

you Baffled, Neera couldn’t respond and wondered, “No! Why do you ask?”

His eyes narrowed, and his expression darkened. His clearly defined fingers tightly gripped the corner of her shirt.

Jean exclaimed, “Take a look at this! What’s going on? Why is there blood on your shirt?”

Startled, Neera looked down and saw the bloodstain.

I must have gotten it by accident when Zephyr cut that man. You fool! Why didn’t you check properly before you came home? You’re making him worry again!

Fortunately, she doesn’t sweat it. She reacted quickly and made an excuse.

“It’s nothing. I must have picked it up at the research center. One of the colleagues cut her finger on a glass beaker by accident. I was helping her with cleaning the wound.”

After saying that, she teased, “Why are you so nervous? I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

Jean could not be duped by such a lie. He saw right through it.

There’s something she’s not telling me. She didn’t want me to worry, it would be best for me to pretend I believed her.

He let go of her hand, as if he believed the story.

“I see,” he replied. “I was frightened by you. Now, go upstairs and change your clothes.”

Neera nodded. She turned around, exhaled a sigh of relief, and dashed upstairs.

Jean watched her as she walked away, only to look away when he heard the door upstairs close.

He then turned his attention to the triplets.

“I’m tired and need to rest. Can you go back to your room and do your homework?”

When the kids found out he was exhausted, they became worried for him and decided not to bother him. The trio agreed.

“All right, Uncle Jean, get some rest. We’re going upstairs.”

His face darkened after the triplets went upstairs.

He turned to Zephyr and cast him a cold gaze.

Zephyr intended to find a quiet place and stayed there.

Before he could, he met Jean’s eyes and froze with terror.

He tried to hang on for a while longer, but he was overcome by Jean’s oppressive gaze and the invisible pressure. Within a minute, he was forced to make a confession.

“It’s Alfonso. He had some underworld thugs tail Ms. Neera, kidnap her, and take her away. Ms.

Neera learned of this and decided to use herself as bait to lure them to an isolated area. Don’t worry;

she’s fine. I took care of all of them.”

Jean’s expression grew darker as he listened. He clenched his teeth and inquired, “What about the blood?”

“I slashed one of them. That’s when she got hit by the blood splatter. It’s not her blood. I can guarantee that she didn’t lose a single hair on her head. She didn’t want you to worry about her, so she didn’t tell you.”

Despite his claim, Jean’s expression was still dreadfully gloomy.

When he considers his beloved, vulnerable and alone, almost being take contain the surge of murderous intent that radiated from his body.

from him, he couldn’t Alfonso is courting death!

“Where is Alfonso?” he asked coldly of Ian.

Ian could tell his boss was exasperated. He answered carefully, “He has been staying at the Hanna Hotel recently.”

Jean’s eyes became eerily dark and cold. His face was filled with chilling intent.

You have dealt with his followers, but this time he is able to send a much larger force. There’s only one explanation, he has the backing of the black market, which supplies him with both resources and labor.

His mind assessed the situation quickly and came to a decision.

“It appears that the person in charge of the black market has probably come to Essley. Go check it out, but don’t startle them.”

Ian took the order and promptly left.

Zephyr paused briefly before catching up to Ian.

Since he had never dealt with the Kingsview black market before, he knew very little about it.

Before, it was always Storm and the others who looked to him for advice and insight. It was now his turn to elicit information from them.
