Through the dim light of the underground garage, she caught sight of the green dragon mark on his neck, further confirming her conjecture that he was Greyson. Little had she expected Greyson to know that she was still alive and came blocking her way. What was odd was that why did he bring such a large crowd with him? She remembered that Greyson had shown up twice, both by himself, but since he brought so many of his men along with him that time around, it seemed more like he was there to take revenge on her… Sensing something fishy, Taya’s footsteps shifted, trying to get around to the car door and hop in. With just a slight movement, the two masked men swiftly blocked her way… Taya’s heart skip ped a beat. With a clenched fist, her alert eyes scanned her surroundings to see that a group of masked men had surrounded her, blocking her way out. She could only force herself to calm down as she shifted her gaze to Greyson.
Her instincts told her that Greyson would never hurt her, but right then… She had a faint feeling that something was amiss with Greyson but she couldn’t tell what it was… Seeing that she had nowhere to escape, Greyson straightened up, walking toward her while fiddling with a knife in his hand… Without saying a word, he lifted her chin with the knife in his hand and scanned her face for a few seconds before waving at the men beside him. Soon one of the underlings took out a drug-soaked handkerchief and wrapped it around her neck from the back to the front, aiming to cover her mouth and nose… When Taya saw the stretched out hand, she turned her head and opened her mouth at lightning speed to sink her teeth into his arm. Like a wild beast meeting its prey, she exerted all her strength and bit hard, causing the man to be dripping with blood with his flesh torn apart. “Ow! Ow! Ow!” The man was in so much pain that his free hand reached out to tug her hair in an attempt to pull her away, but she insisted and not let go as if she wanted to bite him to death.
Greyson hadn’t seemed to expect her to be so bold, so he picked up the knife in his hand and sent it stabbing into her arm… Once the sharp dagger came piercing through her skin, Taya subconsciously released the bite in pain… The moment she let go, the bitten man immediately grasped the opportunity to pull her away and drag her some distance apart. Enduring the severe pain, the man raised his other hand to send a hard slap over but was stopped by Greyson. Still not speaking, Greyson stepped forward and grabbed Taya’s wrist to drag her toward his car… How could Taya ever be willing to leave with him? As she desperately struggled, she tried buying some time for Harper to return to the underground garage… Greyson seemed to lose his patience seeing how she refused to comply. He picked her up and threw her over his shoulders before stuffing her into the car. When Taya was forced into the back seat, she had thought he was going to take her away, but little had she expected her to bend over and start tearing her clothes. Her face drained of all its colors with fright as she turned and pushed the other door, but she looked up to see a masked man blocking the door… Before she had time to come up with better ideas, Greyson had taken off his coat, pouncing for her once more. Taya thrust her foot out, trying to kick him out the door, but he grabbed her ankle with one hand as if he had anticipated her move.
Clutching her foot, he dragged Taya towards him, until where Taya lay directly underneath him. When the man leaned over to press her down, an icy chill ran down her spine as her entire body broke out with a cold sweat. The pair of tiny hands didn’t give up in trying to uncover his mask. No matter what, she must know who the b*stard was! Just as her hands came into contact with the mask, her wrist was instantly grabbed. Without mercy, Greyson pressed her hand firmly against the car door. With his legs pressing against her body and his one free hand clasping her, she could no longer move. Her clear eyes overflowed with resentment as if she wanted nothing more than to scratch the man who had multiple times. tainted her to death! Just when Greyson was about to rip her clothes, there was a burst of rumble from a sports car in the garage… Instead of searching for parking, it seemed to be rushing straight for them instead! When the masked men noticed the sports car speeding in their direction, they stepped forward one after another to force the sports car to a stop. Yet, the sports car didn’t have the slightest intention of stopping. It would crash into whoever it ran into, one by one, as if to kill them all! Sensing how disadvantageous the situation was for him, Greyson wasted no time releasing Taya before he exited the car in a flurry and ran for his dear life after waving at the rest of the masked man. Yet, the driver didn’t give Greyson a chance to escape. To everyone’s bewilderment, he drove straight toward him as if planning to send him to his death with a car hit.
Greyson was visibly panicked as he ran towards the elevator in fright. Seeing him enter the elevator, the sports car stopped going after him. Instead, he speedily reversed the car and came to stop in front of Taya who had just climbed out of the car. The car window wound down, revealing Neil’s half-smile. “Get in the car!” Seeing him, Taya scrambled forward to open the door and got “Why are you here?” Neil focused on speeding in the direction of the garage exit as he replied, “I forgot that you’ll be discharged from the hospital today and came to cla*s.” Taya was deeply relieved to hear so. She shot Neil a grateful look. “Mr. Sherwood, it’s all thanks to you today…” Neil seemed a little absent-minded as he took several constant glances at the rearview mirror, and looked away only when the car drove out of the underground garage. Taya would never have imagined that after driving out, he turned the steering wheel swiftly around a corner, and drove the car back to the garage. Taya stared blankly at Neil. “What are you doing?” There are so many masked figures back there, so it wasn’t a wise decision to drive back. Neil drove in regardless and bumped into one of the masked men, safe and was about to go chasing after them. After knocking him to the ground, Neil showed a satisfied smile. “Ten, finally.” Taya was at a loss for words.
She had a*sumed that he had driven back to take revenge, but it turned out that he had an OCD attack. The number of people was not complete, so he came back to make up for it! After Neil felt relieved, he gave Taya a sideways glance, only to see her shouting all of a sudden. “Run!” The group of masked people who suffered a blow got up from the ground and clambered into the car one after another to give Neil’s car a bump. Neil couldn’t fight against several cars, so he slammed on the accelerator and sped away from another exit. Neil’s sports car driving skills are superb, just like a professional racing driver, wildly veering through the road. After a period of wild driving, he slowed down the speed of the car and asked Taya who had been staring at the rearview mirror. “Have those idiots caught up?” Taya resisted the urge to puke due to motion sickness before shaking her head at him. “No.” Neil breathed a sigh of relief, and with another look at the pale-faced Taya, frowned slightly at the sight of the blood on her arm. “Just when your previous injury has just healed, a new injury is added. You’re indeed ill-fated to live an exciting life.” Taya seemed to have long been accustomed to his sarcasm as she covered the wound and pursed her red lips, not answering.
Neil let go of her right hand gripping the steering wheel, opened the toolbox, took out a band-aid from it, and handed it to her. “A band-aid, will it work?” Taya glanced at her wound before shifting her gaze to the tiny band-aid he handed over, at a loss for words. “Neil, you for sure are Amon’s apprentice…” After getting along for three months, Taya learned that Neil was Amon’s apprentice. The two had similar styles and personalities.
