The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 908

Now that the matter had been resolved, Neera had no intention of staying any longer. She turned to look at the old man beside her.

“Mr. Grey, if there's nothing else, shall we head back now? There's still a lot of material we haven't studied yet. We can't afford any further delays.”

Eugene nodded without a word and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Zephyr and Cloud immediately followed.

The rest of them gave each other looks of utter confusion.

After coming out, Zephyr and Cloud quickly walked up to Neera and apologized in a low voice.

“Apologies, Mrs. Beauvort, for causing you trouble.”

Nonetheless, Neera didn't blame them.

“It's okay. You guys don't need to take it to heart. It wasn't your fault.”

Not only that, she also said, “Next time if you encounter such a situation, you can teach them a harsher lesson. There's no need to show mercy.”

Cough... Cough...

Beside her, Eugene coughed twice and muttered, “Neera, I'm still here, you know. Am I invisible to you? How can you speak like that in front of me?”

Neera blinked her eyes and laughed, saying, “Hehe, of course not. I'm not worried because you have a sense of justice too, don't you?”

After flattering Eugene, she instructed Zephyr and Cloud, “I've almost finished investigating everything that needs to be checked. We'll head back tomorrow. Meet at the alliance entrance at eight in the morning.”

Zephyr and Cloud nodded to acknowledge their orders.

With that, the group dispersed.

On the way back, Eugene gave Neera several curious glances.

Neera chuckled. “If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Don't hold back.”

Eugene couldn't hold back any longer and naturally asked, “How do you know those two people, and also, why did that person just now call you Mrs. Beauvort? What's going on? Are you married?”

Neera chuckled. “Not yet, but I'm engaged. They are the bodyguards sent by my fiancé.”

“Fiancé? Since when? Tell me everything!”

The nosey Eugene stopped walking altogether, eagerly pressing for more information.

“Not too long ago...” Neera roughly explained it.

After hearing that, Eugene sighed. “Neera, you're finally going off to cause trouble for others.”

Daisy's curiosity intensified. “I'm truly curious. What kind of man could possibly capture your heart?”

Neera smiled slightly, generously offering praise. “He's a very outstanding individual. When the opportunity arises, I'll bring him to meet you all.”

Daisy said with a smile, “Alright.”

Then, she thought of the woman from the North Epean Delights Restaurant, shifting the focus of the conversation to her.

“By the way, did you know Nicole before this? How did you end up in a conflict with her?”

Neera didn't hide anything and went on to recount the incident of the medicine purchase earlier.

“So that's how it is. No wonder she reacted that way when she saw you. It seems like jealousy is at play here.”

Daisy hit the nail on the head.

Neera raised an eyebrow but didn't think too much of it.

However, she was quite surprised to find those two there as well.

“Are the siblings new members of the alliance?” she immediately asked.

Daisy nodded. “Yes, they joined at the end of last year. The Meyer family is an ancient medical family in your country. Their elders know the elders of the alliance, and their admission came with the latter's recommendation! Leopold, in particular, is quite capable. Given time, he might very well become a gold badge member or even one with a purple-gold badge. As for Nicole, her abilities are somewhat weak. She doesn't have much talent, but... the elders gave her a spot with their special quota.”

The alliance had six elders, their authority was only second to the president and vice president.

They each held a special quota in their hands, allowing them to nominate one person to join each year.

No one had expected to learn that the Meyer family was surprisingly capable.

After gaining a brief understanding, Neera had no further questions.

After all, she and those two would never cross paths again.

Rather than that, she was more concerned about her own points.

“Um...”

She blinked her eyes, looking earnestly at Eugene, and said, “A fine of five hundred thousand? Isn't that a bit too much? Mr. Grey, considering our long friendship, shouldn't there be a discount? How about a fine of fifty thousand, one that's just a token gesture?”

Eugene's face changed instantly as he scoffed, “A ninety percent discount? You've got some nerve asking for such a huge cut. Don't even dream about it!”

Neera pouted, feeling somewhat displeased.

This old man doesn't have a shred of humanity in him!

Back at the restaurant, the group led by Nicole was given a stern reprimand by the law enforcement team.

“Make sure this doesn't happen again. If you stir up trouble once more, you will likely be kicked out of the alliance!”

Nicole felt frustration and indignance surge within her heart.

However, she didn't dare to show her temper to the law enforcement team, so she had to bow her head and apologize, “I'm sorry, it won't happen again.”

After being made a fool by her, the law enforcement team, each and every one of them, wore expressions of displeasure. With a cold snort, they prepared to leave.

At that moment, Leopold suddenly asked politely, “Hello, could you please tell me who that member with the gold badge from just now is?”
