No Remarriage for us Stay Away (Lenora and Zachary) novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499 I Was Not Late
“Caesare, why did you have me retrieve this?”

Zephyr didn't respond; instead, he asked, “Can you help me locate Pearl Road Flour Mill?”

“Okay, but you haven't answered my question.”

“I need to save someone.”

Without wasting any more words, Christine quickly located Pearl Road Flour Mill. With a gasp, she warned, “Caesare, the satellite imagery shows that this flour mill is in a state of disrepair. It seems to have been abandoned. Be careful.”

“Okay.”

“You...”

Christine wanted to say more, but all she heard was the mechanical beep from the phone receiver.

Darn it!

Zephyr pressed down on the accelerator, speeding up as he swiftly headed toward the flour mill.

When he reached the outskirts of the city, the roads widened and the traffic lessened. He sped through three red lights in succession, driving so fast that it seemed as though sparks were flying from the wheels of his car. Finally, after a swift ten-minute drive, he arrived at the flour mill.

As Christine had mentioned, the flour mill was now abandoned. The grand entrance was wide open, tainted with rust. Inside, the factory walls were cracked, parts of the ceiling had collapsed, and the ground was a chaotic mess. It was covered with fallen branches, leaves, half bricks, and broken chunks of cement.

A van was parked in front of the factory, its license plate matching exactly with the one captured on surveillance.

They're really here!

Zephyr drove straight into the flour mill. He pulled out a steel pipe from the trunk of his car and strode confidently toward the factory's main entrance.

The factory's main entrance had long since disappeared, the interior easily visible from a distance. A man, his arm adorned with a floral tattoo, was seen dominating a woman.

The woman was fiercely struggling.

She was still wearing the same light green chiffon blouse he had seen just an hour earlier.

Zephyr clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot. The beast within him roared wildly, devoid of any rationality. He carelessly tossed aside his glasses, grabbed the steel pipe, and stormed in.

The moment he stepped in, a figure suddenly lunged from the side, swinging an iron rod at him.

Zephyr was well-prepared. With a swift sidestep, he swung the steel pipe in his hand toward the man's forehead.

The man immediately collapsed onto the ground, his head buzzing, and he was unable to rise for quite some time.

Upon hearing the commotion, Sophia caught a glimpse of Zephyr's figure. Her heart, which was on the brink of despair, suddenly sprung to life, pulsating with renewed vigor. This surge of strength coursed through her entire body, intensifying her struggle.

From behind, another man lunged at Zephyr with a knife. However, before he could reach him, Zephyr skillfully used the length advantage of the steel pipe he held to strike the attacker's thigh. With two consecutive blows, the attacker dropped his knife and had no choice but to shield his head with his arms.

Draco and his underlings had brought their captive to this place, intending to relax and enjoy themselves. However, before they could even take off their pants, they heard the sound of an engine from outside.

To their surprise, someone had caught up so quickly.

Luckily, there was only one person.

Draco had intentionally acted as though he was bullying Sophia, creating chaos among the onlookers. He then positioned two of his underlings on either side of the main entrance, ready to seize control at the right moment.

But little did he expect his underlings to be taken down.

Draco picked up the knife from the ground, eyeing Zephyr warily. “Hey, kid, I'd advise you to mind your own business!”

“Get lost!” Zephyr's eyes were as piercing as a blade. “Who do you think you are to even talk to me?”

“You're gonna regret this!”

Draco couldn't bear such humiliation. He picked up his knife and lunged at Zephyr.

Dodging his attack, Zephyr retorted coldly, “If we keep stalling, the police will be here. If you're willing to wait it out, I'm game!”

The two underlings exchanged a glance, a sense of fear creeping into their hearts.

Zephyr had caught up so quickly. They reckoned the police must be arriving soon too.
