    Chapter 839 You’re Finally Here


    The two of them continued running for a while, and they came across a fork in the path. Neera scanned


    the options and pointed to the right for Neil.


    “Run that way and hide. Don’t show yourself unless you’re sure it’s one of our people!”


    Neil nodded, determined not to be a burden to Neera. He turned and sprinted with all his might.


    Neera, on the other hand, turned left and dashed resolutely into the depths of the forest.


    As she went, she deliberately removed her earrings and dropped them on the ground.


    When Midna reached this intersection in pursuit, she halted, visibly conflicted.


    She noticed footprints leading in both directions and smirked coldly.


    “They’re trying to be clever by splitting up, but in the end, it won’t save them…”


    After muttering to herself, she turned and followed the path to the right.


    However, as she turned, a glint caught her eye in the periphery. She abruptly stopped and looked


    back.

    It was a woman’s earring, which looked rtively new.


    She grinned sinisterly, turned around swiftly, and swiftly pursued the earring’s owner.


    Neera continued running, her physical strength and energy pushed to their limits. She was so tired,


    she slowed down.


    Her feet ached, her shoes felt like they were causing blisters and cuts, and she could feel the sting of


    pain.


    But she knew that she couldn’t afford to stop.


    Yet, the most daunting revtion came as she kept running.


    At the edge of the dense forest, a wide river came into view.


    Judging by the rity of the water, it didn’t appear to be too deep.


    Surveying her surroundings, Neera realized there was no other way. She clenched her teeth and


    reluctantly decided to cross the river.


    The temperature was dropping, and the river’s water was ice–cold. The moment she stepped into the


    river, she shivered uncontrobly. The cold water intensified the pain in her injured foot.


    But she had no choice but to endure it, carefully crossing the river with each step.


    When she finally reached the other side, after enduring the ordeal, she heard a woman’s voice not far


    behind her.


    “Don’t move! Or I’ll shoot you right now!”


    Neera’s entire body tensed, and her back felt as though it had turned to ice. She paused for a moment


    before cautiously turning around to look.


    Across the river, Midna stood with a gun in hand, the ck barrel pointed directly at her across the


    river.


    Neera’s face drained of color…


    Meanwhile, on the other side, Neil had hidden for a while, deeply worried about Neera. He clenched his


    teeth, deciding not to follow them recklessly to his doom. Instead, he changed his direction and


    retraced their path.


    He and Neera had ventured too far, and now he had to ask for help!


    Unbeknownst to him, as he made his way back, he suddenly heard footsteps not far ahead.


    And judging by the sound, there were several people!


    Instinctively, he wanted to flee, but in reality, his legs felt too heavy to move. He was utterly exhausted/


    At that moment, someone abruptly grasped his shoulder.


    “Where’s Mrs. Beauvort? She isn’t with you, is she?”


    An anxious voice echoed in Neil’s ears.


    When he turned around, he saw Jean and his men.


    “Mr. Beauv… Mr. Beauvort? You’re finally here!” Neil eximed with emotions welling up, tears


    filling his eyes. “Quick, Ms. Garcia went in the opposite direction to distract the killer, Over there… hurry


    and save her.”


    Hearing this, Jean’s face was dark.


    Without wasting a moment, he and his men swiftly pursued the direction Neera had fled…


    Meanwhile, Midna had sessfully crossed the river, water dripping from her.


    Neera watched here closer, her heart in her throat.


    Despite her overwhelming nervousness and the chilling fear coursing through her, she forced herself to


    stayposed and think of a way to save herself.


    She noticed that Midna’s movements in the water were unsteady, and the gun’s barrel wavered. There


    was a chance that even if she fired, she might miss.


    Not far away, there was arge rock. If she could reach it, she might be able to buy some time.


    Even a few seconds could mean the difference between life and death.


    Making a quick decision, Neera put on a surprised smile and called out excitedly to the other side.


    “Zephyr, you’re finally here!”


    Midna was momentarily fooled and turned around to look, seeing no one there.


    Seizing this opportunity, Neera quickly darted to the side.


    However, Midna reacted swiftly. Realizing she had been tricked, she grew furious and swiveled,


    adjusting her gun to the right, and fired at Neera!


    “Boom!”


    As Neera took cover behind the rock, the bullet grazed her shoulder.


    Intense pain surged through her, and she couldn’t help but cry out. Blood stained her shoulder, and
