Chapter 166
When they first reached the depths of the tropical rainforest and the tiny
kingdom, Cameron's relationship with Laura remained unchanged. Not a word
was spoken between them.
They were welcomed by the local king and stayed in rooms specially prepared
for them, along with their group. Laura's purpose was to discuss a billion-dollar
deal with the king
Initially, the king was very enthusiastic, and the cooperation went smoothly. They
toured the kingdom and the tropical rainforest at the envoy’s warm invitation,
However, the good times were
short-lived.
After the parties signed the cooperation agreement, Laura prepared to leave.
That was when she and Cameron walked into an ambush in the tropical
rainforest set by the king. In Leving, someone had seized the opportunity to
target Laura.
The greedy king consented to the deal due to the huge profits offered. Laura and
Cameron fell victim to an attack by numerous local armed forces. In a brief
period, over 20 of their companions, including the elite bodyguards, were killed.
Cameron began a heart—pounding escape that lasted more than three hours with
Laura in his care. He held Laura as he maneuvered through the dense jungle.
The terrain was familiar to the king's army, who had the advantage in numbers
and firepower. Capturing him and Laura seemed easy for them. Yet, the
challenging terrain also offered Cameron advantages.
With years of strict training from his mentor, he had survived even harsher
environments. The tropical rainforest and the local armed forces were minor
obstacles in comparison.
His mentor had once unleashed world-class assassins against him to unlock his
potential. The assassins surpassed the local forces capabilities.
Thus, Cameron and Laura made their way, confronting and overcoming anyone
in their path. To protect Laura, Cameron took a bullet in the chest. The shot
landed less than three centimeters from
his heart.
Despite his injury, he used a silver needle to seal the wound temporarily. He
wasn't planning to slow down. Laura clutched his clothes tightly. It was the first
time she was so close to death. At that moment, Cameron became her only
hope.
He fulfilled his duty and broke through the encirclement. They eliminated a total
of 179 armed individuals along the way. They sought refuge in the Arazonia River
and hid in another dense forest. Environmental factors left them without a phone
signal. Therefore, neither Cameron nor Laura could summon help. Laura's fearful
and concerned gaze fell on his wound. For the first time, Cameron saw concern
in Laura's eyes. He realized that she could care for others and smiled inwardly at
the thought. He extracted a dagger. He then ignited a small fire with stones and
wood chips to heat the dagger.
