Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 541

There was no reply.

He had probably already gone to bed.

Nicholas slid his phone back into his pocket.

A large garden separated the banquet hall from the main house.

He had just rounded the path into the garden.

A dark figure, like a phantom, cut through the air with a powerful force, striking from Nicholas's rear blind spot.

The movement was incredibly swift, both vicious and precise.

Without a hint of hesitation, the attack aimed straight for his neck.

Nicholas’s languid, weary expression sharpened. The instant the attack came from behind, he immediately moved to block it.

His long, tapered fingers looked like sculpted marble in the moonlight.

They were certainly beautiful to look at.

But at this moment, they were as sharp as blades.

Just as he was about to grab his attacker and counter…

His peripheral vision caught a reflection of the person's face in a nearby surface.

Nicholas’s movement paused for a fraction of a second.

Hazel?

Serena's best friend?

Didn't she go with the Lancasters to their estate? Why was she back here?

And how did she, once again, sneak into the Blackwood family's manor undetected?

In that moment of hesitation…

Black Jack’s hand locked around Nicholas’s throat.

The man was simply too tall.

Executing the chokehold was a bit of a strain for Black Jack.

She used leverage to keep Nicholas from using his strength while her other hand drew a small knife, pressing it against his back. Using a voice changer, she spoke in a robotic, electronically altered tone, "Don't move! Come with me quietly!"

Nicholas let out a soft chuckle.

In the silence of the night, the sound was exceptionally clear.

She, Black Jack, never made empty promises.

When she said she’d tie someone up, she meant it.

Nicholas fell silent.

He paused for two seconds.

Then he proactively held out his hands for Black Jack to tie.

Black Jack glanced at him, her gaze a little suspicious, as if wondering if he had some kind of special kink.

But time was running out.

She grabbed the rope and trussed Nicholas up.

Once he was tied, Black Jack jabbed him again with the dagger handle. "Shut up! No more talking. Let's go!"

Throughout the entire process, Nicholas was extremely cooperative.

Black Jack pushed him along to the underground garage.

She'd come on her motorcycle, which wasn't practical for a kidnapping. She needed to steal a car from the garage to transport Nicholas to Demon.
