The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 840

While breathing and examining the wound, Neera sat behind the large stone. Blood coated her shoulders in scarlet, trickled down her clavicle, and had already started to leak where the bullet had struck.

She could only clench her teeth and endure the pain as sweat accumulated on her forehead. She looked pallid. There was nothing left for her to hide at the moment but this large stone, which she could use to hide herself.

She was also worn out from the high-intensity escape, and she was unable to walk due to a loss of strength. She was unable to flee.

Midna moved closer to Neera as the sound of trickling water came from behind the stone.

She raised her head and gasped, wondering whether she was going to die here today.

What would happen to her children if something happened to her?

Also, Jean.

What should he do, as she hadn't yet healed him?

Aunt Adriana had yet to see her fully heal.

She was so near death that she suddenly couldn't handle it. She began crying as her thoughts became disorganized.

She inhaled deeply twice, repressed her feelings, and reached out her hand to get the last of the medicine. One's body might begin to fester as a result of this medication.

She would drag this woman to death with her, even if she died!

After eventually reaching land, Midna strode sneeringly toward the large stone while clutching a rifle. She quickly rounded the stone and, with a smug smile and a contemptuous expression on her face, pointed a rifle at Neera.

"Why didn't you keep running? Didn't you just run fast? How dare you deceive me! What tricks do you have now?" yelled Midna.

Neera continued to sit, and he regarded her from above. Despite her unkempt appearance, she appeared relaxed. She struggled desperately, holding the medication in her palm securely.

"I'm hurt now; what other tricks can I play?" She spoke coldly while repressing her inner terror.

Midna tinkled with her hair while cynically grinning, "It better be."

Having said that, she rapidly put the gun's barrel to Neera's head to kill Neera.

Neera's hands and feet were so frigid that they didn't appear to be her own, but she kept her cool and dealt with her.

"May I ask you a question? I know. I can't get away. But even if I die, you should let me die with dignity! Could you please tell me who wants my life?"

Midna was astounded to discover that she was able to remain calm despite being pointed at by a gun.

But she showed no mercy, scoffed at her, and asked bluntly, "Why do you ask? Are you trying to use this trick to buy yourself more time?"

Neera mockingly curled the corners of her mouth.

"Of course not; my companion has most likely been murdered by you at this time. Nobody is here, and no one will come to my aid. What is the point of procrastinating? I'm asking because I don't want to die without knowing who is attempting to take my life! I want to know who I should avenge after I pass away."

After saying that, she took a moment to pause and cautiously look at her face.

"But even if you don't say it, I'll be able to guess: Is it Asher or Alfonso?" asked Neera.

Midna was stunned, and then she smirked arrogantly.

"It appears that you have a large number of adversaries. I'm not familiar with Alfonso. Regarding Asher, I didn't anticipate you to be his foe."

Neera smiled strangely, but her eyes were icy.

"I'm interested in learning the answer to this question, too! I have never taken the initiative to do anything to harm people since I am an upright person. But from what you're saying, it's not the two of them! That's strange. There aren't many people around here that I hold a grudge against. Who else would want my life so intensely?"

Midna grinned and said, "It doesn't matter. I won't share any details. It's almost time for you to go." After speaking, she narrowed her eyes and prepared to murder Neera.

On the opposite side of the river, several people simultaneously rushed in succession.

They noticed the woman on the other side of a river from a distance. She was standing on the edge of a large stone, arms pointed down, rifle in hand.

They could only see a faint outline of the gun's body because it was on the rear. The rest cannot be seen. They were aware that Neera was there.

At a crucial time, Jean abruptly snatched the gun from Cloud's hand as the adversary prepared to fire.

Wading across the river would have alerted the enemy, and it was too late.

The only option was to obstruct her from a distance!

After setting up his pistol, Jean aimed at the fastest speed with his keen eyes. There was a bang, followed by a gunshot the following instant!

Neera was already prepared to engage in a desperate battle with her opponents. Her heart constricted in fear as she heard the noise, and she subconsciously sought to lift the medicine in her hand.

But before she could throw the medicine, she was surprised to see that the gun in the woman's hand in front of her had been knocked out!
