Chapter 1175 Are You Doubting My Abilities
There were so many emotions swirling within, tugging at the man’s heart.
Jean’s throat tightened, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he suppressed his emotions. He said with a strained voice, “All right, we’ll make amends when you get back.”
Then, he softly asked, “There must be something going on, right? Why did you suddenly bring this up? I thought I would have to convince you a bit more. What happened?”
On the other end, Neera’s eyes became slightly moist, but a rare smile appeared on her face.
“Oh, you and your keen observation. I knew I couldn’t hide anything from you. Well, yes, something a bit tricky has come up, but don’t worry, I can handle it.”
She still didn’t reveal the details, and Jean respected her choice, going along with it and refraining from prying.
“That’s good. Go ahead and do what you need to do. I’m sure everything will be fine.”
The last sentence carried an unspoken promise and a sense of protection.
It was like a spell that gradually calmed Neera’s heart. Suddenly, she felt that this trip to the dense forest might indeed turn out just fine.
With these reassuring thoughts, her anxiety dissipated, and she relaxed, chatting with Jean for a while before finally falling asleep.
The next day, the selection process officially began.
On Avery’s side, he arranged for five individuals, all exceptional combat experts from the Cox family.
“They are quite familiar with the terrain of Mount Cloud, and they will be solely responsible for your protection. You can confidently follow their lead, and nothing will happen.”
Neera nodded in acknowledgment to each of these five individuals and then expressed her gratitude to Avery.
“Mr. Cox, thank you so much for going to such lengths.”
Avery sighed. “I’ve said it before, stop being so polite. You never listen. Besides, I share some responsibility for this matter, so I can’t just stand by.”
Neera maintained her somewhat distant demeanor. “In any case, thank you for your help.”
At that moment, Shane finished his preparations and came downstairs.
“Well, here he is. He first greeted Avery, then turned to Charles. “Is everything ready?”
Charles nodded, “Everything is in order.”
Neera was somewhat surprised. “Shane, are you going as
Shane affectionately tousled her hair. “It’s only natural. You’re going to such a dangerous place. As brother figure, how could I sit idly outside? I have to accompany you.”

Neera’s lips twitched, about to say something, but he cut her off
“Stop, stop, stop! We’re family, don’t thank me. Or I might get angry.”

Shane seemed satisfied with her reaction and then looked toward the door. “Hmm, Mr. Weaver hasn’t arrived yet.”
Neera was puzzled. “Mr. Weaver? Is he coming? What’s he doing?”
Shane playfully tapped her forehead. “Of course, he’s coming with us to the forest.”
This surprised Neera. “Mr. Weaver is coming too? Is that a good idea? He’s quite old, and going into such a dangerous place…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Finnley entered, huffing with an air of annoyance.
“You, little miss, still making a fuss about my age! My skills are top-notch; even if I were ten years older, I could still handle it!”
Neera quickly turned around and, feeling a bit embarrassed, touched her nose.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make it sound like I was concerned about your age. I was worried about your health.”
Finnley waved his hand. “Don’t underestimate me just because I’m an old man. I can still give you a big surprise.”
Shane chuckled. “He’s a true master, Neera. Mr. Weaver insisted on coming when he heard about this. Don’t let his good intentions go to waste.”
Neera was touched. “All right, Mr. Weaver, you’re more than welcome to join us. After we’re done, I’ll prepare a lavish meal for you!”
Finnley, itching to try her cooking, rubbed his hands together. “You said it, no backing out now.”
Neera grinned. “Absolutely not.”
With Avery’s team included, they now had a total of nine people.
Neera summoned Zephyr and said, “Let him come with me.”
However, Shane hesitated and said, “I don’t think he’s very suitable…”
Before he could finish his sentence, a voice came from the entrance, “I also think it’s not appropriate.”
Neera turned to see Robin and Baxter entering the room. Two other individuals followed behind Robin.

Robin had been the one to speak earlier.
Neera greeted them, but her focus was mainly on Robin, paying little attention to Baxter.
Robin nodded. “We’ve come to see you off. After all, it’s such an important event.”
Then, he added, “Zephyr going with you doesn’t seem suitable. We should consider someone else.”
Zephyr, feeling slighted, quickly responded, “Mr. Robin, are you doubting my abilities?”
