    Chapter 1462


    Noah’s reaction was equally swift. He sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the strike.


    Noah’s father had served in the military for years and disliked those whocked strength. Despite


    Noah’s preference for the arts and his usual disy of gentility, he was trained inbat skills and


    remained unscathed so far despite all the things that happened in his life.


    However, the opponent’s skills seemed to surpass his.


    Another knife was sent at a tricky angle, aiming directly for a vital organ.


    Noah, who evaded the first attack, had no time to adjust his posture. Just as the knife was about to


    pierce into his body, the cat in his arms emitted another piercing scream.


    In a sh, the cat pounced toward the assant, who evaded the attack. The knife directed at Noah


    deviated slightly, leaving a streak of blood on the ck fur of the cat


    The de flew past Noah with a tint of blood on the de.


    Noah was momentarily stunned, his eyes reddening with distress. “Ruby!”


    The ck cat had saved his life at a critical moment.


    Noah loved cats and had a few of them at home. However, he was sentimental and could only care for


    a few within his capacity. Hence, he had not brought home new cats in years.


    This ck cat Tyler offered to him as a gift was indeed very much to his liking. Of course, it was


    because it was from Tyler that he had reservations.


    Ever since he had brought the cat home, he had to take responsibility and care for it well, but since it


    had not been with him for very long, it had not developed the same level of attachment to him as his


    original cats.


    What he least expected was for the cat to save his life.


    Noah could not spare time to think about anything and rushed over to check on the cat’s condition.


    The cat’s gaze, however, remained fixed on the assassin. Though it had pounced toward the assant,


    its attack was far from fierce. Its hackles had not risen, and its fur had not puffed up in rm. Instead, it


    regarded the assassin with a gaze of puzzlement.


    Noah sensed that something was wrong and turned to look at the assassin.


    As he took in the situation, he paled and eximed, Bloody hell! Tyler?!”

    The person attempting to kill him was Tyler.


    Noah gaped at the man before him in disbelief and thought to himself, ‘I haven’t contacted Vicky


    recently, so why on earth is Tyler going crazy on me again?’


    In the past, Tyler’s tactics never escted beyond leaving him battered and bruised, so it was a first for


    Tyler to actually show the intention of killing Noah.


    Not daring to provoke a madman, Noah said hastily, “Tyler, do we have a misunderstanding or


    something? Didn’t Vicky exin our rtionship to you? You understood and even gave me this ck


    cat as a truce because you know I like cats.”


    Hearing Noah’s words, Tyler hesitated for a moment and looked toward the ink-ck cat on the


    ground.


    The cat, despite having been wounded by Tyler’s attack, disyed neither alertness nor anger and


    simply batted its eyes at him, its head tilted inquisitively.


    After Tyler left, Vicky remained locked in the cold, dark basement. There was no window in the


    basement, and there was only a light bulb hanging on the ceiling.


    Vicky carefully observed her surroundings.


    Though it was dark, the basement was clean as a clean freak like Tyler would never tolerate living in a


    space that was not spotless.


    The bed she was sleeping on was soft andfortable. There was no strange scent in the air, and


    there was even a faint fragrance.


    She had been locked up before, so she did not panic and obeyed Tylerpletely.


    After feeding her, Tyler did not do anything and simply left with the tes.
