“What makes you think there’s just the two of them? Don’t count me out!”
Jim stepped out slowly from behind Bonnie and Ivor, looking like an impenetrable mountain.
Shane’s face fell the moment he saw Jim. Turning around, he looked at Tom and questioned the latter, “Didn’t you say you locked him and Floyd up in the storehouse? You guaranteed that nothing could go wrong. Tell me, then. What is Jim doing here now?
He personally saw just how formidable Jim was. With him in Bonnie’s ranks, it was that much more difficult to kill them now.
“Um… I did lock them up in the storehouse. I have no idea how he got out.” Tom looked very puzzled. He had no idea how Jim escaped.
With that said, he quickly calmed down and tried to soothe Shane.
“It’s just one more guy, Mr. Shane. He’s not going to be able to make a difference. We still have dozens of bodyguards with us. Are we supposed to be frightened by three of them?”
‘I’ve hired some top-notch bodyguards from an international organization. So, what if Jim is an excellent fighter? There’s no way he could take on all of them and win the fight!’ At the thought of it, Shane felt much better.
Turning around, he waved at the bodyguards. “Take them out. Don’t pull back any punches. Hit them till they drop!”
“Roger!”
The bodyguards responded to him unanimously. Then, they charged right at Bonnie and the gang.
Bonnie, Ivor, and Jim prepared themselves to teach these bodyguards a lesson.
Ivor stepped forward subtly, putting her behind his back.
“You suffered a heavy injury. Maybe don’t join the fight. Jim and I will take care of this.”
When Jim heard that she was injured, he scanned her from head to toe. Then, his brows furrowed when he saw the blood stain on her shoulder. “What happened? Why are you so badly injured?”
She moved her arm and responded as if she wasn’t fazed. “I’m fine. It’s just a minor injury. I’ll just apply some salve, and it’ll patch up in a few days.”
“You’re bleeding, for heaven’s sake.
How’s that a minor injury? Are you
sure you want to join the fight?
Aren’t you
worried that your arm
might be ruined forever? Also, how are you supposed to conduct your beloved research if you don’t have one of your arm?” The longer he talked, the more pissed off he sounded.
“I’m fine. I mean it.” She frowned slightly. “Moreover, both of you
might not be able to fend them off if
I don’t join in the fight. If I fight
I
alongside you, however, at least I
can take on some of the opponents.”
“You’re in bad shape. It’s better if you take it easy. Don’t do anything rash! Leave them to us. We just have to hold out a little. Help is on the way.” Jim said.
The moment she heard that reinforcements were coming, she took a step back and stopped pushing herself.
“Alright. I’ll leave these bodyguards to you. I’m aware that you guys are worried about me. So, don’t worry about it. I won’t do anything unless I don’t have a choice.” “Okay.” Jim nodded. Turning around, he dealt with several bodyguards charging his way.
In the blink of an eye, both Jim and Ivor had taken out several of them. The bodyguards were lying on the floor, groaning out of pain. They couldn’t have climbed to the feet, even if they wanted to.
Shane saw what happened and grew agitated.
“Get up, you fools! Aren’t you guys elite bodyguards from a reputable organization? How is it that you guys can’t take care of two people?”
