Chapter 177

I felt that with Pharrell here, Lily wouldn't be so easy to capture. Helen pulled a dagger from her waist and signaled me to stay in place while she went ahead to assess the situation. I told her to be careful. Holding the dagger, Helen moved to attack the figure. He reacted quickly and immediately raised his hand to block Helen's. Then, he delivered a kick, aiming at Helen. Pharrell's face appeared in the thick fog. His expression was calm; he looked completely unaffected. He covered his mouth with a cloth strip that we didn't know where he got it from. In his other hand, he held a handgun. Upon seeing me, he didn't hesitate to pull the trigger. The bullet pierced through the fog, seemingly about to strike directly into my forehead. Pharrell smirked slightly. A sharp metallic clink echoed, and the bullet heading toward me was intercepted. It was Xenos, who was wearing night-vision goggles. He had already guessed Pharrell was going to shoot at me the moment he raised his hand.
