She was oblivious that a well-covered black SUV was tailing her from three cars behind her. Two men and a woman were in the car, all staring ferociously at her car.
“The target is in the car. There is also a man beside her.”
“He is just a weakling. What are you worried about?!”
“Just keep up with them and wait for the proper moment to strike. First, take Angela’s bag and look for the lipstick inside. If you can’t find it, you could take the girl hostage and ask her where the lipstick is. Do it discreetly.”
Their leader, known only as Grey Wolf, issued the directive over the phone.
Angela kept driving around until they were finally out of the city. Eventually, she stopped under a mountain in a remote area. There were a few cars in the parking lot adjacent to it, but not many people went trekking at this hour.
After they had gotten out of the car, Richard instinctively felt that they were in danger. Indeed, a black SUV crashed directly into Angela’s car. She saw her car being knocked over just as a man and a woman hurried down, and the woman came to grab her bag.
Angela bumped into Richard’s strong. back when he pulled the confused girl. behind him.
She watched as the woman frantically emptied the contents of her bag onto the ground, her attention drawn to the lipstick that had fallen out. She picked it up, did a quick check to see that it wasn’t. what she wanted, and then saw that there was nothing else in the bag.
“It’s not here,” she spoke in a foreign language to her companion.
“What are you doing? Why did you search my bag?” Angela questioned her fiercely as she stepped out from behind Richard.
Richard warned her in a deep voice, “Stand behind me and don’t go away.”
“Get her!” the woman yelled furiously as she stared at Angela with piercing red eyes.
Richard furrowed his brow as the other two men walked forward. He knew that this was not the moment to deal with the trio since priority was given to protecting Angela from harm.
He grabbed her hand, turned around, and started running in the direction of the forest. “Run.”
Angela also realized that these three individuals were extremely dangerous. The eyes of the three people staring at her were horrifying as if beasts were attempting to tear her apart. Still, she had
no idea who they were!
Instinctively, she knew she had to flee, so she released Richard’s hand and ran for the mountains and forests.
In contrast, Richard was speechless as she released his hand. Since she could flee and escape danger deliberately, he had to focus on anything else.
He turned around and tumbled over his shoulders, knocking another man to the ground. Still, the other man and woman were already heading straight for Angela.
Richard quickly caught up to the woman, and she immediately pulled out a sharp army knife. Clearly, she was not an average individual. She was a skilled martial arts fighter.
“Who are you? I would suggest you mind your own business.” The woman snarled in English and stabbed Richard.
Richard did not respond to her, but he always dodged her attacks. He was unfazed by the woman’s repeated. attempts to stab him. The expression of
disbelief flashed across her face. No ordinary man could be that well trained in combat.
Despite this, she was aware that her companion was already pursuing the girl, so all she needed to do was hold this man off for a little while.
Nonetheless, Richard did not have time. to waste on her. He deftly snatched her knife, attempted to aim at her thigh to prevent her from fleeing, and knew that her companion would return to save her.
The man that Richard knocked out earlier has woken up. He abruptly drew a gun and fired in Richard’s direction. Fortunately, Richard ducked aside to avoid the bullet and was compelled to abandon his attempt to harm the woman. He did not waste any time and started chasing after Angela.
He was a fast runner and heard a woman’s calls for assistance coming. ahead of him.
“Aah-Help!”
Richard’s heart tightened upon hearing the distress calls. With the help of his long legs, he rushed toward the source of the sound, where he saw a man grabbing Angela’s arm. He was holding a knife at the time, so he threw it at the man’s arm, where it pierced a specific spot.
Angela’s face was only a hair’s breadth away from the guy’s arm, so blood splattered all over it, and her face instantly turned white.
What gave that bodyguard such confidence that he could throw the knife? And what if, of the gangster, he stabbed her in the face?
The man let go of his hand out of agony but instantly seized Angela with his other hand. She struggled and ultimately sat on the ground, but the man persisted in his attempts to grab her. Being pinned under him, she felt like a defenseless kitten.
Angela was in so much pain that she was on the verge of passing out when she looked I up just in time to witness her bodyguard deliver a punch to the man who had caught her. He soon collapsed to the ground.
