Zephyr wore a stern expression. He really didn't want to answer this kind of question.
Cloud, conversely, refused to be slandered and thus responded grimly, “We know, of course! But we did nothing. They are the ones who provoked us first.”
“Do you mean we've wronged you?”
The members of the law enforcement team glowered at Cloud in displeasure.
Cloud's gaze was icy cold. “Isn't that the case? We were having our meal in peace, but the members of the alliance forced us to give up our seats just because we couldn't find any empty ones. We refused, and they began to make a scene.”
As soon as those words fell, a member of the alliance immediately retorted, “Stop spouting nonsense!”
The one speaking was a young woman in the lead.
In fact, she did not know Eugene. But witnessing how respectful the law enforcement team was toward him, she figured he probably held a prominent position in the alliance.
Right away, with a look of respect, she defended herself, “Sir, don't be deceived by falsehoods. Things aren't like what he said. Instead, they were the ones who did that to us. They've distorted the truth; I hope you won't believe their lies.”
She deliberately put on an aggrieved expression as she spoke, hoping to gain sympathy.
Yet, several members behind her seemed hesitant to speak.
Noticing that, Neera narrowed her eyes.
The more she looked at that woman, the more she thought the latter looked familiar. After repeatedly searching her mind, she finally remembered who that woman was.
They're the pair of siblings I ran into previously while buying medicinal material at the old pharmacy in the country! Leopold Meyer and Nicole Meyer! This woman is none other than that incredibly obstinate Nicole!
It was beyond her imagination that she would run into them here.
This Nicole is still as repulsive as I remember her to be... Zephyr and Cloud are trustworthy people. Though they are cold and ruthless, they're gentlemanly and magnanimous. There's no way they would do such a thing. Nicole must be slandering them!
With that in mind, she let out a cold snicker.
Her voice reached everyone's ears clearly.
Nicole could sense the disdain and contempt in that laughter. With her brows furrowed, she shifted her sharp gaze toward Neera.
Seemingly not recognizing the latter, she fumed, “What are you laughing at?”
Neera didn't hold back and mocked, “I'm laughing at how someone could be so shameless at distorting the truth and playing the victim.”
Nicole glared at the former, and her voice became piercingly sharp. “What do you mean?”
At this point, she began to feel that the person before her looked somewhat familiar.
Nonetheless, she could not recall where she had seen the latter before. Her gaze lingered on the latter with a hint of menace.
On the contrary, Leopold, standing nearby, recognized Neera without much difficulty.
His eyes lit up slightly, and he blurted out, “What a coincidence! It's you!”
A puzzled look crossed Nicole's face. “Leo, you know her?”
Leopold nodded and reminded, “She saved Grandpa the other time. Have you forgotten?”
Nicole was briefly stumped. It was only then those memories came back to her. A scowl marred her countenance at once.
“So it's you. Why are you here?”
Neera icily spat, “What has that got to do with you?”
Flabbergasted, Nicole gritted her teeth and said, “It has nothing to do with me, but judging from what you said, you're standing on that two men's side, huh?”
“So what if that's the case?”
Neera broke into an oppressive laugh, but her eyes didn't share the mirth. “I brought the two of them with me. Who do you think you are? How dare you slander them?”
Her words instantly left everyone at the scene taken aback.
“What's going on? Do you really know the two of them?” asked Daisy.
She had her suspicions when she saw how fast Neera ran just now.
I can't believe it's actually true!
Neera nodded. “They're my bodyguards for this trip. They are here specifically to protect me. Considering the alliance doesn't allow outsiders in, I had them settled nearby after arriving on the island. I've warned them not to cause trouble recklessly. They're not the type who would get into unnecessary trouble without rhyme or reason. So, it's absolutely impossible that they started this!”

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?...
