Chapter 487: Cheese in a mousetrap

Zeke's black cloak was dancing in the wind, circling Alicia. His hood suddenly fell away, revealing the man's face. Just the sight of his face was enough for Alicia to stop her attack.

In a blink of an eye, Zeke appeared only inches away from her, taking advantage of Alicia's short pause caused by her surprise. He bent forward and he whispered in her ear. "Don't try to fight him seriously, Alicia." His voice was filled with a serious warning, causing Alicia's brows to crease.

"Don't fight back and just go with the flow," he added and before Alicia could react, Zeke took her sword from her. He then swiftly moved behind her and wrapped an arm around her, putting the blade of her sword near her throat.

Everything happened so fast. The green and silver glow of light slowly dispersed. Leaves began to fall slowly and the dancing trees stood still again.
