The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1190

She didn't manage to sleep until dawn the next day before getting abruptly awakened.

Around the wee hours of the morning, Neera was in a deep sleep when a burst of clamor abruptly awakened her.

At first, she opened her eyes in a daze, not quite registering her surroundings.

But she was taken aback when she saw the intertwined shadows on the tent and immediately became nervous. It seems like a fight has broken out outside!

Realizing that, she quickly crawled out of her sleeping bag.

Since she had to stay alert while sleeping in the forest, she didn't undress. She put on her coat and shoes and unzipped her tent.

The sounds of the fierce battle outside were intense. She didn't dare to rush out recklessly, so she could only cautiously lift a small part of the tent flap to peek through.

Peering through the gap, she was shocked to discover that there were many people in black appearing in their camp!

Counting them up, there were probably around a dozen people. Each one was wearing a large black mask and a hat. Their disguises were incredibly thorough, making it impossible to see their faces.

At that very moment, her men were entangled in a fierce battle with the other party, fighting relentlessly!

Even Finnley was forced to take action.

Although Finnley appeared languid due to his old age and seemed the easiest to deal with, his skills were actually incredibly formidable.

Each move he made was ruthless, capable of inflicting lethal damage. Those who dared to confront him lost their ground steadily.

Even in the midst of a fight, he could still afford to glance over at Neera. “Hey, girl! Why did you sneak out? Hurry back to your tent and keep yourself safe!”

Shane took a punch to the mouth, blood trickling down the corner of his mouth. Hearing Finnley's remark, he turned his head and yelled at her, “Hurry inside and find a way to protect yourself first. I'll be right there!”

Since they were outnumbered, each of them had to face several opponents at once, leaving them no time to protect Neera for the time being.

Seeing the situation, Neera gritted her teeth and had no choice but to turn and run into the tent.

However, it was already too late.

It was clear that those people were coming for her. As soon as they saw her, someone immediately rushed toward her.

Neera could sense the imminent danger, her heart leaping into her throat. Instinctively, she reached into her pocket.

There, she had her medicine powder prepared in advance, along with the dagger given by Finnley.

In that instant, a multitude of thoughts raced through her mind. Rather than hiding in the tent waiting for protection, I'll be better off lending a hand in the fight! Even if I were to hide, if these people's target is me, I'd quickly be cornered. In that case, it's better to take the initiative. Any contribution, no matter how small, is still valuable.

With that in mind, she gritted her teeth, steeled herself, suddenly halted her steps, and swiftly turned around.

The people rushing toward her didn't expect her to stop suddenly. They were slightly taken aback but didn't stop moving and extended their hands toward her.

Neera stared at the gleaming knives in their hands, fear tightening her throat to the point where she could barely move.

But she still gave it her all, calming herself down, waiting for the perfect moment as they approached. Suddenly, she flung her hand out, scattering the medicinal powder!

Suddenly, someone was blinded, but because they covered their eyes tightly, some still managed to escape her sneak attack.

Seeing that, Neera tried to control her trembling hand and forcefully threw the dagger out.

Someone cried out in pain, cursing angrily, “D*mn woman! How dare you hurt me! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help me!”

Neera turned toward the sound, and at first glance, he saw the man who spoke was clutching his right arm.

The dagger she had just thrown was still embedded in his arm, with a small amount of blood seeping from the wound. I hit someone with my dagger!

Confidence surged within her in an instant. She narrowed her eyes and quickly pulled out another dagger from her pocket.

However, it was unlikely that the other party would obediently wait for her in place. Soon, someone approached.

“Neera, be careful! Watch out!”

“Neera, run quickly!”

“Ms. Garcia!”

Several voices rang out at once. Everyone was frantic, wishing they could be in two places simultaneously, rushing immediately to her side.

But in the end, they were outnumbered. Their side had fewer people than the opposition, and to make matters worse, their opponents were not unskilled. They found themselves unable to break free from the entanglement at that instant.

The isolated Neera became the perfect target for capture!

Hearing the shouts of several people, Neera suddenly looked up, her pupils abruptly constricting at the sight of the men in black who were almost upon her.

The sharp blade of the knife was right before her eyes. At that moment, she felt as if she had been struck by a paralyzing spell, completely forgetting to run away!

Just as the situation reached a critical juncture, suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere, positioning itself in front of Neera.

At the same time, a cry of agony echoed throughout the dense forest!

Suddenly, this man, who appeared out of nowhere, firmly grabbed the arm of the man in black and, with a swift twist, effortlessly dislocated the latter's arm!

The knife held aloft fell to the ground. The man in black took a heavy blow to the abdomen and tumbled awkwardly to the ground!
