Chapter 888 Where Else Can You Escape?
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 approached confidently.
For now, Zephyrâs only option was to hide behind another vehicle.
Yet, in the face of Dracoâs relentless barrage of bullets, he couldnât 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 black muzzle of his firearm pressed against Zephyrâs forehead.
âLetâs see where else you can run,â Draco intoned eerily, peering down at him. âGameâs over, time to say goodbye.â
Zephyrâs 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 gunâs muzzle followed suit, never leaving his brow.
Draco mocked, âYouâre on the brink of having your head blown off, yet you remain remarkably composed.â
He followed up with narrowed eyes and a sinister grin, âSuch a shame, for youâre about to take a oneâ
way trip to hell!â
As he uttered these words, he began to pull the triggerâ¦
At this crucial moment, two abrupt screeches of brakes seized Dracoâs attention.
It was lan who came!
Zephyrâs immediate thought was of that man, and he felt a surge of relief.
âYou arranged for reinforcements in advance?â Draco was genuinely surprised that someone had come at this precise 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, Zephyrâs smile turned icy.
âYes, you didnât expect this, dia 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!
âBang! Bang! bang!â
Three gunshots erupted nearly simultaneously, and they all found their mark!
Cloudâs shot struck Dracoâs wrist with precision, causing immediate pain and sending his weapon clattering to the ground.
Ianâs bullet hit Dracoâs shoulder, rendering his arm temporarily useless.
Stormâs shot hit the opponentâs knee.
Draco was taken aback, hobbling back two steps. The searing pain in his knee left him unable to maintain his stance, 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.
âNeera? Where is she?â
Zephyr gestured behind him and urgently said, âMs. Neera and Neil ran in that direction. Hurry, a killer is chasing after them!â
Jeanâs expression darkened considerably.
He turned to Draco, as though he were looking at a dead man.
âIan, keep watch here. Storm and Cloud, come with me!â
âYes!â The three of them responded in unison.
In an instant, Jean led Storm and Cloud, following the path Zephyr pointedâ¦
Meanwhile, Neera and the two of them were still navigating through the thick forest.
Neilâs 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 eat.
Neil was drenched in sweat, his face pallid with fear.
of hope, Is⦠is it the enemy? Or perhaps Zephyr?â He asked, still holding onto,Papasan onsidering Zephyrâs formidable abilities.
ut as Neera listened to the footsteps, she noticed that while they were swift, they were also ystematic, not frantically searching for someone else.
he pursed her lips and shook her head, âNo, it seems like itâs the enemy.â
Disappointment washed over Neilâs face as he asked, âWhat should we do? Where can we escape to ow?â
Jeera surveyed their surroundings and inquired, âCan you keep moving? We need to pick up the ace.â
Grimacing, Neil gritted his teeth and nodded, âYes.â
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 likely cause permanent damage to his waist and spine.
With that in mind, she made a quick decision, âHereâs the plan. Youâll find a hiding spot and stay quiet.
Iâll lure them away from you.â
Despite his intense fear, Neil didnât want Neera to face danger alone.
âNo, Iâll go with you.â
Neera, however, had made up her mind, âNo more arguments. Iâll go, and youâll do as I say.
Remember, find a safe hiding place!â
