Ex-husband Unmasked He’s a Billionaire novel Chapter 166

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.
