Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82

However, today things were a little different.

There were a lot more small stones scattered across the road.

Turning on the high beams, he saw several medium–sized rocks blocking the middle of the road.

Cautious as always, Zachery considered turning around.

At that moment, a rock suddenly rolled down from the hillside.

It landed squarely on the car’s hood.

Thick smoke billowed up instantly, as if the car might explode at any moment.

Zachery took a shallow breath, scanned his surroundings, and reached under the steering wheel to pull out a folding knife…

His sharp senses on high alert, he pushed open the car door and stepped out.

Seven or eight well–trained thugs quickly surrounded him, each holding a long knife.

Zachery’s eyes were cold as ice, his tone utterly indifferent: “Who sent you?”

The leader replied, “Someone paid for your life. If you want to know who, ask the King of Hell yourself.”

Neither side wasted any more words.

Their eyes met–and the fight began.

Zachery stepped forward, his folding knife slicing a chilling are of white through the air.

Blood spurted from the leader’s neck.

It wasn’t the main artery, but it was enough to send a wave of overwhelming panic…

Josephine sat in the taxi, a trace of unease flickering in her eyes.

Suddenly, the driver said, “There’s a fight going on.”

She glanced ahead.

She saw Zachery being attacked by a group of men wielding knives.

He had a knife of his own, though it was so small it was almost invisible.

Even as he fought back, he held back enough not to take anyone’s life.

But those men had their blades pointed straight at Zachery.

One of them was about to launch a sneak attack from behind…

Josephine’s gaze turned icy cold.

She suddenly grabbed the driver’s neck and threatened, “Drive into them.

The driver was startled for a moment, but only for a moment–then he obediently complied.

He shifted gears, floored the gas, and the car roared like a wild beast, charging straight at Zachery’s attackers.

Then, he slammed on the brakes.

The taxi’s headlights blazed brightly.

Zachery turned around and saw Josephine, who had just kicked up a knife with one foot, walking toward him.

In that moment, the rush of joy that hit him was as intense as it had been thirteen years ago. Zachery felt it was something he would never forget for the rest of his life.

Josephine’s eyes were sharp and serious, her movements swift and unhesitating, the tip of her long knife stabbing into the attackers‘ limbs again and again.

With Josephine’s help, the attackers were soon all wounded and fled.

Josephine wanted to keep one behind to ask who had sent them.

Zachery said, “Let them go. They can’t get away. I’ll have someone look into it tomorrow.

Josephine nodded, tossed the knife aside coolly, and walked back to the taxi.

Zachery grabbed his phone from the Land Rover and got into the taxi as well.

The driver glanced at Zachery in the rearview mirror.

Zachery closed his eyes for a moment, and the driver drove on quietly.

With the driver present, Josephine and Zachery didn’t speak.

When they arrived at Opal Heights, Josephine said, “Dr. Maynard, I guess that settles the debt from yesterday.”

Zachery looked wounded. “Do you really have to keep score with me like that?”

Josephine thought about it and realized it was probably far from enough.

She let Zachery into her apartment, reheated the packed snow crab and vegetarian roast goose on the coffee table for him.

“Have it as a late–night snack.”
