Zephyr paused and went to her side to say softly, “The police’s outside right now. It’s safe. Stay here. I’ll be back very soon.”

He had seen that there were a lot of people in the hallway. Not only were there the police, but the men he had asked Robert to send and protect Cordelia were around too.

Cordelia nodded and asked him to be careful. She checked the lock carefully after he left and latched the security chain.

Zephyr was familiar with the hotel’s interior. He easily avoided the crowd and went to the rooftop through a quiet passage. As expected, he saw bloodstains on the staircase with the dim lighting.

Alarmed, he ran up. The blood stains were not consistent, so he slowed his pace and kept his guard up on the surrounding area as his hand crept to the pistol at his hip.

He suddenly heard soft cries for help!

“Who is it?” Zephyr was startled.

He saw a shadow moving around the nearby shielded area. He chased after it and was surprised to discover Nicholas lying there in blood. He had a man with him who was slightly injured. His underling was ready to risk his life and battle with Zephyr the moment he saw him.

Zephyr grabbed the man’s wrist and hit his dagger away.
