The sight of the gun frightened everyone.
No one had thought that John actually brought a gun with him, even though it was legal to carry one in this country.
However, everyone else were just normal law-abiding citizens. No one had encountered such a situation before, nor did they want to.
The nosy crowd who gathered to watch were no longer excited. They were scared to get involved in the disaster themselves, so they started to scramble and run away from the scene.
Not even Neera and Neil expected such a turn of events. Their whole bodies froze.
Zephyr was shocked too, even though there wasn’t much change in his expression.
He only subconsciously moved in front of Neera, in case he had to protect her from a potential gunshot.
Seeing this, John sneered and said: “You’re going to block a bullet for that woman? Alright, I will fulfill your wishes then!”
Zephyr still kept his straight face as he was facing the muzzle of the gun, and remained expressionless.
But Neera, standing much closer to him, could see a dangerous aura when he winced his eyes.
“It would be too easy to kill you with one shot. I don’t want to give you the satisfaction to die so easily. Why don’t I torture you first? Should I break both your legs, or hit you in the guts first? Or your brain? Or to your heart? I heard that if your heart gets hit, you won’t die immediately but you’ll endure a phenomenal amount of pain. I would really love to see just how painful that is…”
As he was talking, the muzzle kept pointing to different parts of Zephyr’s body.
Neera was soaked in cold sweat.
She was terrified that the gun would suddenly go off!
Neil was also terribly frightened. He didn’t dare to make even the slightest of movements, in fears that it would anger John.
“What should we do now, Ms. Garcia?”
What were they going to do?
Neera didn’t know what to do either!
Who knew that this lunatic had a gun with him. Now, the three of them are completely powerless!
Zephyr had come to protect Neera, she couldn’t let him get hurt.
Otherwise, how would she explain to Chad later?
Calm down, there must be a way…
She took a deep breath and kept trying to compose herself within, her thoughts racing at the speed of light.
After a few seconds, she clenched Thora’s wrist hard, and said: “Stop your little friend immediately! Do you really want to see him kill people here? If something really happened, you won’t be able to get away with it!”
Not only did Thora not feel scared by Neera’s scolding, she broke into laughter instead.
“Stop scaring me! What does it even have to do with me? You chose this path yourselves! Who told you to choose the hard way and anger John? Now things have come to this because of your own doing! I’ve warned you that John has a dark background, Neera Garcia! But you chose to ignore me! Hahaha! I want to see how you’ll get out of this today! Don’t worry, if you die, I will collect your body for the sake that we’ve been acquaintances for a long time!”
Neera turned pale as she heard Thora laugh like a maniac.
Just as the two parties were bickering away, John winced his eyes and readied his finger to pull the trigger.
He was aiming at Zephyr’s heart!
Neera felt like her chest was crumpling like a piece of paper. She subconsciously looked at Zephyr, the words “be careful” almost slipping out of her mouth.
Then, the sound of a gunshot went off before she could warn him.
With a “bang”, a bullet was fired!
Anyone could imagine what would happen next.
Zephyr, the stoic expressionless man, would be the one to fall on the ground, with blood staining his entire body.
But then, in a surprising twist of events, he was not the one to succumb to the bullet!
The person that collapsed wasn’t Zephyr.
It was John!
One moment ago he was acting like a lunatic, now he was the one on the ground!
His hand that was holding the gun was now covered in blood. There was a bullet wound on his wrist!
It was beyond anyone’s expectations.
At that moment, noise started to break out in confusion. What happened?

What kind of stupid confusion is this, how come she didn't know that the my bourvart they are talking about is Jean?...
Author uses too many words to describe useless things and then don't clarify others, who is this aunts friend. Neere went to play golf with who?...
Why is she keeping so many secrets from Jean?...
is it too much to ask, when are they going to know that Jean is the father of her triplets???? the man that night 6yrs ago is Jean???!!!!!!...
Chapter 328, did Alfonso not meet Jeann before, how does he not recognise him huh...
I'm a bit confused, does Roxanna not know that her sister is married..this chapter makes it look like she doesn't know but they already went to Jean for money huh...
Too many words to explain somethings, it's a waste.......
