Everpeak was a rural area where the people were barely updated with the latest news. It was usual for them to be unaware of something common knowledge in Pyralis. Shane looked at Tom dryly and asked, “Do you know who she is? How about Jim?”
Tim nodded. “I know about Master Jim.”
At this point, Shane decided to stop hiding things. “Master Jim was assigned to protect a certain someone, and that someone is none other than Bonnie.” ‘Although the people of Everpeak might not have the latest news, Tom probably understands it now. Hopefully, I don’t have to spell it out for him.’
A moment later, a world-renowned figure appeared in Tom’s mind. His eyes widened in shock as he stammered, “A-Are you telling me Bonnie is Ms. Bonita?!”
‘I should’ve known! However, Ms. Bonita is so prestigious that I never connected the dots that way. It turns out the two are the same person, after all!’
Noticing that Tom had realized it, Shane scoffed and said, “Now, do you know why I’m so eager to kill them? It’s over for us if we let them live!”
Tom grew nervous when he heard that. He kept pacing back and forth as he said, “Then, what are we waiting for, Mr. Shane? Let’s chase after them! If they manage to escape, we’ll suffer for the rest of our lives!”
Shane looked at him condescendingly and asked, “Don’t you think it’s too late for you to worry about that now?”
“Come on, Mr. Shane! I’m anxious
and scared. you have an idea, just tell me, or I throw up!” Tom was panicked that his palms began to sweat. His mind went blank, and he could not devise any plans. Still, he knew he could not allow Bonnie and her gang to live.
Shane sneered as he said, “Did you forget that they just walked toward a dead end? That path leads to a ravine. They can run, but they won’t get far. So, all we have to do is pursue and catch them when they’re trapped.”
Tom remembered the ravine and
smacked his forehead. “I-I was so
worked up that I completely forgot I
about that. That’s brilliant, Mr. Shane You’re teasing them with hope and then ripping it away at the last second. I’m impressed
His praises made Shane feel proud of himself. The latter felt like he was the most intelligent person in the world.
Shane said, “All right, that’s enough ass-kissing for now. Let’s head over and see how things turn out for them. I can’t wait to see their faces when they see the ravine!”
Tom nodded and said, “You’re right, Mr. Shane. Let’s move now. I believe we’re in for a treat.”
No words could describe the
ecstasy Shane felt at that moment.
He could not care less about the
bodyguards lying on the ground, scratching their bodies. The itchy powder had hindered over twenty of them, but there were still more than twenty, ready for action.
Given Bonnie and her gang’s situation, twenty bodyguards were enough to take them down.
