Zephyr was baffled, but he nodded and followed her instructions.
He continued driving as usual, made a turn, and pulled over on a quiet stretch of road.
Neera made her decision as soon as the car came to a halt.
"Let's go!" she exclaimed. "We must get out of the car."
Zephyr realized what she was up to now. She was using herself as bait to entice those men to show themselves.
He said nothing and obediently followed Neera out of the car.
The 2 exchanged glances. They pretended they didn't know anything and kept walking. They came to a complete stop after passing through two alleys.
Soon after, they heard some hurried footsteps outside.
A group of men dressed in black appeared at the alley's entrance. They stormed down the alley.
There weren't many, just five people, just as Zephyr had predicted.
They obviously had no clue that Neera would be waiting for them. They met her face-to-face as soon as they stepped into the alley.
Neera took a step forward and confronted them. She grinned coldly at them and said, "I have been waiting for you. What is your purpose in following me?"
They were taken aback, not expecting to be exposed so quickly.
Furthermore, based on how she encountered them, she didn't seem afraid of them. This was the polar opposite of what they had expected.
Still, they recalled their leader's orders and knew they had to take Neera alive.
The group leader calmed himself down, squinted his eyes at Neera, and snorted coldly.
"What makes us want to follow you? We're obviously here to take some sort of action against you."
This was followed by a gesture and the command, "There are only two of them! Stop dilly-delly! Get them!"
His men responded with a nod and charged forward.
Neera watched as they got closer. She didn't even flinch or take a half-step back. She appeared to have everything under control.
Meanwhile, Zephyr took a bold step forward and attacked.
He assumed the people in Kingsview's black market would give him a good fight or two, so it came as a shock when he was able to knock one of them out with a single blow.
Zephyr looked at the man who was blasted toward the wall.
He sneered and started to engage with the rest.
At the same time, he mocked, "Is this what you got? You're worse than trash! Stop embarrassing yourselves!"
Then he knocked out all of them with a single move.
In the blink of an eye, all four were knocked down and passed out.
That leader was stunned when he witnessed this gruesome scene. It was beyond his imagination that the man in front of him was such a skillful fighter.
This man effortlessly took down four of my men. Isn't he an ordinary assistant? Why is he so powerful?
Moreover, before he executed the task, he had learned from the intel that this woman was just an ordinary company CEO. Why would there be such a terrifying figure guarding her?
"Who...who are you?" He asked in surprise.
His voice contained traces of trembling, but it escaped his notice.
Zephyr turned his wrist.
His gaze was very cold as he ridiculed, "Someone of your level is not qualified to know my name."
The contempt contained in his replies couldn't be too obvious.
Due to embarrassment, that man's complexion turned crimson.
With a gloomy expression and a stern voice, he threatened, "What a braggart! You might have died without knowing why!"
Zephyr was getting impatient. He rebuked, "What's with all the crap? You have two choices, fight or confess and beg for forgiveness."
The man's complexion darkened even more. He clenched his teeth and warned, "Don't you dare be arrogant with me!"
Then, he abruptly drew a dagger and swung it at Zephyr.
His ability was superior to that of his subordinates. However, he could only exchange a few moves with Zephyr.
Zephyr caught his wrist. He twisted it fiercely and yanked that dagger away.
When Zephyr fought, he was never merciful to his adversary. He slashed across the man's arm as he turned the blade toward him.
Immediately, blood splattered from his arm.
Neera averted her gaze instinctively. Even so, a few drops of blood fell on the hem of her clothes.
Her entire focus was on Zephyr, and this minor detail slipped her mind.
