Chapter 409 

But Oneida wouldn’t give up so easily. 

She decided she must find something useful since she was already here. 

Suddenly, her eyes were focused on the vase on the desk again. 

This vase was unique. 

The patterns on it were characters that Oneida had never seen. 

The light switch was on this vase. Could there be something else hidden in it? 

Oneida wondered if the key was hidden in the vase. 

Oneida slowly approached the vase with a calm and 

grave 

face. 

She was about to reach out her hand.

However, at this moment, Oneida heard that someone was walking toward the office. 

She heard heavy and rhythmic footsteps. 

It was completely different from the footsteps of the man in black just now. 

Oneida’s heart sank suddenly. She thought the person who was walking toward the office might be Evan. 

In a flash, Oneida withdrew her hand and turned around. 

The footsteps became louder and louder. 

The person was getting closer and closer to her. 

Oneida knew that it was impossible to leave now. 

There was only one exit. 

The best solution was to pretend to be a member of the Paragon Group again. 

At least in terms of the clothes, it was a flawless plan. 

She wondered if Evan would be as gullible as the man in black just now. 

At this moment, the man had already walked through the door. 

The footsteps became louder and louder. 

Oneida lowered her eyes, about to turn around to look at the person’s face. 

Unexpectedly, before she raised her head, she heard a cold voice. It was a falsetto but it sounded pleasant. 

The 

person 

asked, “Who are you?” 

Oneida froze. 

She didn’t expect this person to see through her disguise so quickly.

She thought, ‘Well, it must be Evan. 

‘Only Evan could be so observant.’ 

Oneida immediately raised her eyes. She wanted to see what Evan looked like. 

After all, she hadn’t seen Evan’s face yet. 

However, the moment she raised her eyes, all the lights in the room went out. 

In a flash, Oneida felt that someone moved quickly toward her like a ghost. 

The next second, a pair of extremely cold hands reached out to Oneida’s neck as if they would crush Oneida’s neck. 

Of course, Oneida wouldn’t let him get away with it. 

She quickly turned around to dodge this fatal attack. 

Unexpectedly, Evan was fast too. He immediately moved toward her again. 

This was the first time Oneida and Evan were face–to–face. They had never been closer. 

Although Oneida could only see darkness, she could feel that he was right beside her. 

She seemed to be surrounded by a cold and unique aura. 

She found it both strange and familiar. 

But Oneida had no time to think about it because Evan swung at her again. 

She fought back fearlessly. 

Inevitably, it was a fierce fight. 

Oneida clamped her lips together with a solemn look. Her heart jolted. 

Evan was the toughest rival she had ever met. 

She had to be focused all the time because she knew Evan would find a breakthrough even if she slacked off for a brief 

moment. 

They fought for several minutes but it was an even game. 

The man was silent and calm. His moves were fatal, fierce, and brisk. 

Oneida knew he was absolutely a master. 

Oneida had the advantage of being agile and fast. 

Because of this, she dodged several fatal attacks of his. 

However, if it went on like this, Oneida knew she would lose the game. 

Because, as long as she failed to dodge him once, she would be defeated. 

She thought, ‘It’s no surprise. 

So this the power of the leader of the Paragon Group?‘

Oneida was not depressed. Amild smile hovered on her lips. 

She found it exciting to fight such a strong opponent.

She hadn’t fought such a close opponent for a long time. The previous rivals were all very boring but the one in front of her now was quite interesting. 

Just when she was thinking about this, Evan launched another attack. 

Oneida dodged him quietly and the next second, she jumped to the wall of the office. 

Evan caught up with her and swung a punch at her. 

Oneida thought he was going to hit her in the face. When she was about to dodge him, his fist smashed against the wall. 

Oneida was pressed against the wall. 

The man asked, “Who are you?” 

His deep and pleasant voice echoed in her ear. 

It was strange to her but it put 

Oneida into a trance. 

It seemed that the man didn’t want to fight with her anymore. 

He directly trapped Oneida between himself and the wall and asked her a question. 

Somehow, Oneida felt like he was staring at her earnestly. 

Oneida was silent. 

Of course, she wouldn’t tell him who she was. 

She and Evan were so close to each other that she could even hear his breath. 

Most of her hostility toward him suddenly disappeared. 

She felt like the man in front of her was not an opponent or the one who wanted to kill her but a close friend. 

Oneida frowned in confusion. 

The man asked, “You’re not going to tell me?‘ 

Oneida seemed to hear the man’s sneer, which was a bit creepy. 

The man said, “I’ll make 

you 

talk.” 

Hearing this, Oneida was shocked. 

This was a harbinger of great danger. 

She thought this man was going to take the brutal way. 

At this critical moment, Oneida quickly took out something from her pocket and sprinkled it on the man. 

The thing Oneida took out from her pocket was powder, which would immediately turn into gas if it was exposed to the air. 

A thick white mist surrounded the man. Oneida seized this great opportunity and escaped. She went straight toward the door like a fast whirlwind.

The white mist could make people temporarily senseless so it gave Oneida a breathing space. 

This was Oneida’s most secret weapon. 

She expected that Evan would be difficult to deal with. If she couldn’t defeat him, she would naturally retreat.

Although she didn’t get the key, she was afraid that there wouldn’t be another chance as long as she escaped this time. 

Oneida and Evan had a close fight so Oneida had a rough idea of his skills. 

Next time, she would be well prepared. 

That was right. Oneida never thought it would work in one shot. 

After all, he was Evan, with the Paragon Group. 

Oneida rushed out of the door quickly, leaving a deafening alarm. 

Her face darkened and her eyes narrowed slightly. 

She thought Evan probably wanted to close every exit in this building so that she could not escape. 

The alarm was like an order from Evan. 

Although Oneida escaped the office, she needed to think about how to escape this building unharmed.
