Chapter 507 What Are You Going To Do (1/2)

Jean heaved a big sigh of relief when she finally spotted Zed. When she got closer, her relief was replaced by hurt for him as he had disappeared without a trace.

She thought she too will sneak up on him and take him by surprise.

Jean tiptoed towards him to give a start. After all she had got so worried when she couldn't find him.

Jean sneaked closer to him against his back as she slowed down her steps and lowered her breath.

As she was hardly within a hand's distance, Jean heard something that shook and jolted her at once.

”Do it tonight, at the top of the mountain. Stay down and be prepared to attack any time. I'll give you the order then.”

Zed's low voice resounded in the quiet air. The sinister words sent a chill down her spine. Suddenly, she turned pale.

Regaining her senses, she took a step back in revulsion and felt miserable about the ominous meaning that lurked behind the word 'attack'. What did Zed mean?

Zed heard a twig crackle under his feet. He immediately turned around to see Jean standing behind him in utter shock. He too was caught off-guard for just a second but soon calmed down.

”Who exactly are you? What are you going to do?”

Jean asked as if she was looking at a stranger.

Noticing Jean's unhappy face, Zed was caught in a complex mess of emotions.

”Jean, I tried to tell you my real identity earlier but you refused. I promise you that I'll tell you as soon as things are finished. Is that all right? Time's running out today.”

”What do you mean 'Time's running out'?” Jean was dazed and she couldn't understand the reality at all at the moment.

Do it tonight? Stay down? Attack? Order?

How strange the words were! Jean was stunned by what scary meaning hid behind them.

Who was it that he was after? Whose life did he want?

No. They were all her friends. She could never allow him to hurt any one of them.
