Jilted Bride 247

Chapter 247

Keith quickly ran downstairs, only to find that the car had already driven far away.

He tugged at his hair in frustration and turned his gaze to Ophelia, who was standing nearby. "Hey, need some help?"

At the sound of his voice, Ophelia glanced at him briefly. "No, thanks."

She had already called the police and an ambulance, waiting with Kenneth for the authorities to arrive.

Keith nodded and casually asked, "The injured person just now. who is he to you?"

As soon as he asked, he felt a chill run down his spine and a sharp gaze that sent a shiver to the back of his head.

"I-I was just asking, no need to worry," Keith quickly added, shrugging and awkwardly scratching the back of his head with a nervous smile. Turning around, Keith glanced once more in the direction the car had driven off.

'Did I see that wrong?' Keith wondered. After all, he had only met that guy once five years ago.

Keith turned his head and locked eyes with a pair of deep, unfathomable ones. His pupils instantly constricted.

The young man's eyes were cold, his wolf-tail long hair tied at the back, and when he smirked, a small fang peeked out from his lips.

Both of them quickly averted their gaze and resumed walking as if nothing had happened.

Eric shifted the lollipop from the right side of his mouth to the left, surprised by the encounter. He hadn't expected to run into Shadow Z, once ranked among the top five in the assassin world.

The reason his code name had Shadow was because of his skills in hiding, tracking, and counter-tracking, access to certain intelligence.

Five years had passed, and the assassin world had assumed he had vanished or been dealt with in secret.

Little did they know, he was here in Dellanex.

Shadow Z's life was worth quite a bit of money.
