Seeing the situation, the lead bodyguard became anxious. If Andreas returned alive and their plan was exposed, the Queen would undoubtedly make him the scapegoat. ‘No, I can’t let Andreas leave here alive.’
With this in mind, he drew a dagger from his waist and silently moved behind Bonnie and Andreas, waiting for the perfect moment to kill Andreas with a single strike.
However, Bonnie and Andreas were working together too well, making it difficult for him to find an opening. After waiting for what felt like forever, he still couldn’t find a suitable opportunity.
Eventually, he decided to change his target to Bonnie instead. Bonnie was undoubtedly more skilled than Andreas. If he could take her down, dealing with Andreas would be a piece of cake for the remaining bodyguards.
Seizing a moment when Bonnie stepped back, his eyes flashed with a vicious gleam as he aimed the dagger straight at her. Bonnie was fully concentrated on the two tough bodyguards in front of her and didn’t notice the threat from behind.
However, Andreas did notice. As he looked over, the dagger was already inches away from Bonnie’s back. His pupils constricted, and he cried out in alarm. “Bonnie, watch out!”
He sprang forward as he shouted. Bonnie didn’t have time to react before she felt a hard push on her back, followed by the sound of a pained grunt.
“Uhmm-“
She turned around to see Andreas, who had been stabbed by the bodyguard and was now heavily bleeding.
“Andreas!” Bonnie cried out in panic and reached out to support his collapsing body. “Are you okay? Hang in there!”
Andreas forced a pale smile. “I-I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”
“Stop talking.” Bonnie quickly pressed several acupuncture points to slow his bleeding.
She then took something out of her
pocket and fired a signal flare into the air. There was no other way to contact someone for assistance deep in the jungle without phone service.
Initially, she hesitated to use it due to concerns about revealing her identity. But she had no choice now that Andreas was critically hurt and that the stab wound might be fatal.
She could only hope that her people would arrive quickly enough to get Andreas the treatment he needed.
However, Bonnie’s action of sending
out a distress signal also alarmed the lead bodyguard. “She’s called for help! Quickly, take them down and get out of here before
reinforcements arrive.”
Realizing the gravity of the situation, the bodyguards launched a collective assault on Bonnie. With Andreas incapacitated, Bonnie was left to fend off the attackers alone.
At first, she managed to hold her ground, but her strength was waning, having already traveled a long distance and fought for an extended period.
Noticing Bonnie’s fatigue, the lead bodyguard knew this was the perfect moment to strike. “She’s almost done! Everyone, attack her with everything you’ve got!”
