Elliot removed his suit before he ripped off the shirt sleeve to expertly bandage the bodyguard‘s wound.
“Please bear with it for a while. We‘ll take you to the hospital as soon as we get back to the city.”
Even though the bodyguard grimaced in pain, he was moved. The reason why they were protective of
Elliot was because he was a kind–hearted boss.
Elliot was unlike any other businessman who didn‘t care about the lives of his subordinates. Instead, he
always treated his bodyguards like brothers.
Elliot‘s personality made his subordinates want to serve him, even if it meant risking their lives.
At this fraction of moment, the outlaws discovered Elliot‘s hiding spot and immediately approached him.
Elliot had to get up and leave to keep his subordinates safe, leading the group of outlaws in a different
direction to distract them.
A few bullets flew by his side and he deftly avoided them all. He ran to a high vantage point and aimed
his shot at the four outlaws with no misses. They were shot dead before they could even call for help.
Elliot returned to the injured bodyguard‘s side just as the captain of the bodyguard joined him.
“President Presgrave, could you please take Mark and depart in this direction? You can hail a cab
along the way to get to the hospital. We‘ll go in the opposite direction to distract the outlaws,” the
captain said.
“I‘ll go with you!” Elliot suggested.
The stunned captain refused. “No, your identity is too important for us to risk. We must–”
“Stop talking nonsense. Let‘s go.” Elliot stood up, ran 100 meters in a favorable direction, and fired two
shots into the sky.
The captain exhaled a sigh. He had to admit that the entire bodyguard team was less brave and
capable than Elliot at times.
Elliot was a truly admirable human being.
At this point, the daylight had dwindled to a barely perceptible lightening of the gloom. Elliot and Reece,
the captain of the bodyguard, had already drawn the outlaws into the dense forest area.
Dusk arrived earlier than expected; everything in the forest was hidden beneath it, as if a predator was
on prey.
“Be careful, President Presgrave,” Reece reminded Elliot since Reece had the responsibility to ensure
the man‘s safety.
The thirty–five–year–old Reece‘s heart was cautious because he had to remain alert.
Elliot nodded, and he checked his gun magazine holder and discovered that he only had one bullet left.
He calmly reloaded it while Reece quickly handed over his firearm, saying, “Here, President Presgrave.
I have four more and you can have mine.”
“No, keep it for yourself!” Elliot gently shook his head.
There were only about ten outlaws left when they arrived in the deep woods. They had lost more than
half of their members. The leader was irritated and enraged.
They appeared to have underestimated their enemy this time.
The information provided by the other party did not state how powerful the businessman was. However,
the outlaw leader watched his brothers die one by one at Elliot‘s hands.
“After you, President Presgrave.” Reece made the decision to head deep into the forest.
Elliot, on the other hand, was sick of running away from the situation. If he had to walk into the
mountains, it would take him a few days to get out, and he didn‘t have time to wait that long.
