Chapter 239
“Look out!” Emmanuel shouted.
As Claudette was hesitating, he heard the bushes nearby rustling.
At first, he thought it was their final opponent in the game approaching them.
However, he soon realized that it sounded like more than two people were
heading their way. Moreover, he heard footsteps coming from all directions,
which meant they were likely hostile.
The instincts he developed through his work had him promptly pinning
Claudette down to the ground with one hand while he scanned the
surroundings with hawkish eyes.
Claudette was startled.
Though, she was not afraid of danger at all with him by her side. In fact, her
heart was racing faster with adrenaline.
The next thing she knew, he had leaped into the bushes while carrying her in
his arms.
Despite the scratches on her fair skin, she did not feel any pain or voice any
complaints. The new development made her find the experience even more
exciting and wonderful.
Bang!

Suddenly, a rock was shot at and bounced off the ground around the spot
they were resting at moments ago.
That finally snapped Claudette back to her senses.
Even she could tell that the guns used by their opponents were not the guns
they were using in the game. The shot was extremely powerful, leaving a tiny
hole in the ground where it hit.
“That’s a flat–nose bullet!” Emmanuel scowled.
Judging from experience, this meant they were no longer playing a game.
They were facing people who wished to cause them harm.
Emmanuel had used flat–nose bullets before during shooting practice back
at Northern Region. While they were not sharp enough to pierce the human
body, being hit by them meant broken or fractured bones.
With how thin Claudette was, she might even suffer from internal injuries. In
the worst–case scenario, she would die! Who could it be? Why are they
ambushing us here using those bullets? Emmanuel wondered..
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of muffled gunshots echoed through the air.

Realizing what was happening, Emmanuel swiftly started rolling away on the
squashed under him once more. Her heart kept racing. While the experience
was painful, this was all so exciting!
She was not worried about her own safety in the slightest; she even wished
the game would go on forever!
“We didn’t hit anyone, Mr. Lane,” one of the men reported.
“What?! You didn’t hit anyone?” Isaac’s rage twisted into an even more
“Darn it! I’ll do it myself!” Isaac snatched a gun and dashed down the hill,
When he spotted Emmanuel’s form spread out over Claudette, he swiftly shot
twice.
