Chapter 74
Egbert squinted at Eileen, giving her a small smirk, and explained, Tve acted in crime dramas before, so I’ve had some training. Can you swallow that?”
Eileen pursed her lips in response, choosing not to comment.
The unidentified individual and the white man on the ground didn’t move. Eileen approached the unidentified individual.
She swiftly kicked him!
He groaned in pain, breaking out in sweat. He then shot her a nasty glare
Making sure he couldn’t reach his gun, Eileen moved to the white man next, delivering the same swift kick!
Finally, she approached the short haired woman!
The woman looked back in surprise and asked, “Who the hell are you guys?
Eileen replied in fluent local language. We’re from the Wildlife Rescue Association”
The woman was taken aback that Eileen knew the local language, but before she could respond, her arms were incapacitated by Eileen’s quick kick
After tossing the gun on the ground, Eileen glanced at Egbert and then bent down to pick up some ropes and duct tape by the bonfire, using them to the up and gag the three of the
Christy, who was in the tent, heard noisins but had no idea what was happening
Just as he was starting to worry the tent flap swung open
Eileen from the Wildlife Rescue Association” came in
Christy tried to protect, but Eileen quickly removed the tape from his mouth and untied him
“What happened Christy asked amerously
“No biggie Eileen dismissed casually Seeing the broken glasses in the comet she asked, “Are these yours?”
Christy nodded taking the glasses and awkwardly putting them on
“Lets go.” Eileen said Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Go? Christy was confused
Eileen had already started walking out
Despite her confusion, Christy cautiously followed
As soon as he stepped outside and saw the situation, he was completely dumbfounded
The three kidnappers were tied up and tossed in a comer and a handsome young man in camouflage clothing was sitting by the bonfire with all the firearms collected
Christy stuttered in shock, “What What What just happened?
Eileen walked over to Egbert, took a look at the firearms, and whistled appreciatively “Well, these are some high-value weapons.”
She picked up a sniper rifle and remarked, “This is a modified shoulder fired cannon. Worth no less than 10,000 dollars.”
Eileen caressed the sniper rifle, almost drooling at the thought of the money it could bring
Egbert took the gun back, placing it with the others, and said flatly. “All these have to be handed in.”
Eileen paused for a moment, then sat next to Egbert, nudging him with her shoulder, and whispered. “No one else is here. As for Christy. we can just beat him up, he won’t squeal. Why don’t we keep these guns for ourselves, sell them, and split the money fifty-fifty?”
Egbert turned to look at her coldly. “Selling arms illegally is a serious crime. And besides.” He glanced up at the drone in the sky Only then did Eileen realize they were being filmed
She looked up and saw the drone hovering above her, keeping a watchful eye on her every move
Eileen chuckled awkwardly and explained, “I was just kidding. I’m not the kind of person who’s blinded by money. This is all a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding!”
The drone flew from her left to her right, scanning her thoroughly
Eileen quickly bent down to help Egbert gather the firearms.
While sorting them out, she counted them.
Finally, she held out her hands and stated, “Seven. There are only seven. See, I didn’t hide any Absolutely nonel
Egbert couldn’t help but chuckle at her performance.
Christy finally gathered his courage to approach them. He glanced at Egbert and Eileen, then at the drone in the sky, and asked, “Who are you guys, really?”
Eileen looked amused and pointed at Egbert, “You may not recognize me, but do you really not recognize him?”
Christy stared at Egbert for a while, then said in confusion, “He looks familiar.”
Eileen teased Egbert, “You’re a movie star, but nobody recognizes you.”
Egbert remained silent.
“I remember now!” Christy exclaimed suddenly, “Egbert! You’re Egbert! Your face is so dirty that I didn’t recognize you!”
Egbert was confused.
Eileen looked at Egbert’s face in surprise and asked, “Is his face dirty? We just took a bath this afternoon!”
Christy apologized awkwardly, “I didn’t mean it that way… It’s just that Egbert is always so clean and tidy. I didn’t expect him to…”
Christy then turned to Eileen and asked curiously, “And you are…?”
“Guess?” Eileen puffed out her chest. If Christy could recognize Egbert as a star, he should be able to guess that Eileen was too.
Christy looked at Eileen intently for a while, then asked, “You’re Egbert’s girlfriend, right?”
Eileen was visibly confused.
Christy seemed to have figured out their relationship. He said, “You’re a member of the International Wildlife Rescue Association, and you’re his girlfriend. He joined the rescue association because of you,
right?”
Eileen grew even more confused.
“That’s great.” Christy sincerely wished them well, “I hope you two will always be together.”
Eileen at that point was at the peak of her confusion.
Egbert couldn’t help but laugh.
Eileen immediately turned to glare at him.
Egbert chuckled and thanked Christy, “Thanks for your blessing.”
“Hey!” Eileen protested, “You’re taking this joke too far!”
And then it was Christy’s turn to be confused, “Joke? What do you mean?”
“You’re talking nonsense,” Eileen stood up, her brow furrowed, “We still have a thug who hasn’t returned. What should we do now? Stay and wait for him, or…” Her voice trailed off.
Egbert also looked serious; his eyes focused on the direction in front of them.
Christy asked, puzzled, “What do you mean?”
“Hush. Eileen motioned for silence and then suddenly leaped towards the bushes to her right.
Behind the bushes, a shirtless, buff guy managed to dodge her fierce attack.
Eileen swiftly changed her direction of attack, trying to hit the guy’s throat with her elbow.
He was quick, stepping back to avoid her and then attempting to grab her shoulder.
But Eileen was quicker. She ducked down and kneed him in the back.
He didn’t seem to expect her to be that strong, wincing from her hit. It was then that she launched another attack, aiming for his head.
He knew that if this kick landed, he was going to be seriously injured, so he quickly stepped back.
However, a sudden strike to his stomach made him grit his teeth. By then, her long leg was already whizzing past his ear.
