The Bodyguard System

Bang! Bang!

Several gunshots could be heard. Anderson looked towards the direction that the gunshots were coming from, and was surprised to find that it was actually coming from the side of his colleagues.

They were all shooting towards a certain direction. And the direction that they were shooting at was definitely not the one that the target was in.

Anderson could not help but wonder if there was someone who had come over, and was currently disrupting the mission that they had taken. But as much as he could think about it, he could not think of anyone that could come over here, other than Jaden.

In any case, the one who had gone to do the kidnapping had already informed them that they were the only ones that had come over here. So, the only possibility that other people could come here was that they had somehow managed to track the two vehicles that had been brought over with the target, and the bait.

Nonetheless, he decided not to focus on that. In any case, the mission was the king here. So, he decided that he had to eliminate Jaden as fast as possible, before looking into what was happening the other side.

As he thought so, he continued shooting towards the tree that Jaden was hiding behind. And two shots later, the tree actually collapsed onto the ground.

But what Anderson was expecting did not happen. He had previously expected that Jaden was going to rush from behind the tree, to look for another hiding place. But, he did not do that.

Additionally, another thing that flabbergasted Anderson completely was the fact that there was actually no one around that place. The place behind the tree was completely empty.

Considering that he was at a higher ground, after the tree was cut down by the bullets, he was able to see behind the remaining part of the tree.

And considering that there were supposed to be two people there, he could not spot any, which was not supposed to be so, considering that even if they were crushed by the tree, at least a part of their body would be seen.

And if that was not possible, at least blood would be seen, considering that if they had been crushed by the tree, blood would have definitely spurted out.

Anderson suddenly felt that there was something wrong. He did not understand how the target had somehow disappeared, when he had always been paying attention to every movement there.

The only time that he had diverted his attention was when he was looking towards the area where the sound of gunshots was coming from. So, what could have happened?

Could it be possible that Jaden had somehow rushed from that place together with the lady that he was carrying, during the time that he was focusing on the other side? But how was that even possible? At the end of it all, it was impossible for Jaden to be able to know that he was currently focusing on the other end, and take that chance.

Bang! Bang!

Two consecutive shots brought back Anderson from his thoughts. He looked towards the direction of his comrades, only to realize that after those two shots, there was actually no any other movement in that area.

The area was completely silent, something that made Anderson feel a trepidation in his heart. His heart had already began beating rapidly, and warning bells had already began ringing in his mind.

Frowning, Anderson decided to spy on what was happening on the other end through the scope of his sniper rifle. He zoomed as much as he could, and thanks to the high zooming capability of the sniper, he was able to finally see what had happened there.

He could see that things were completely ruined in that area. Additionally, something that made his heart skip a beat was that he saw that there were actually bodies lying on the ground.

Just from the attire, he could easily tell that they were actually his colleagues that they had come together to deal with this mission, while taking a vacation. But now, all of them were actually lying on the ground, probably dead.

At this point, Anderson finally realized that there was something extremely wrong here. It was clear that there was someone who had somehow intervened in this fight, leading to the death of his partners.

Immediately, understanding that he could no longer stay here, as he could not even spot the enemy, Anderson immediately decided that he had to leave. If he continued staying here, he might end up dying, just like the rest.

He immediately picked up the gun, and without even bothering to pick up the case that was used to carry the gun, he began rushing away.

But he had only moved a little distance away when suddenly, he encountered something that shocked him. A bear appeared out of nowhere in front of him.

Despite the surprise in his mind, he still reacted, and took the gun that he was carrying, aiming it towards the bear. He was no longer caring if shooting was going to attract the attention of the killers, but he had to at least make sure that he dealt with the bear.

After all, if he did not deal with the bear, he might end up being the one that was going to be dealt with instead. So, he prepared himself to pull the trigger.

But then again, something that shocked him to the core happened again. The bear was actually looking at him with a gaze akin to that of a human. There was killing intent in the eyes of the bear, something that even Anderson could feel.

Nonetheless, he did not want to think much about it, and was prepared to shoot. But it was then that suddenly, the bear rushed towards him on its two hind feet.

Additionally, the speed that it was moving at was way beyond what he had ever seen a bear possess. It was way beyond imagination that a bear could possess such a speed.

Anderson immediately panicked. He wanted to shoot, but by the time that he pulled that figure, the bear had already reached next to him.

Bang!

He managed to shoot, but he missed the target. And even though he had missed the target, that did not imply that the bear was going to do the same. It launched its right paw towards his chest.

Bam! Thud!

Anderson was blasted backwards by the attack, and he landed heavily onto the ground. Due to the force of the attack, he was forced to release the gun that he was holding, as he could not hold it with just a single hand.

As he fell onto the ground, he felt his body was completely in pain. Additionally, it was as if his left arm had been completely dislocated by the shoulder.

But Anderson understood that he could no longer continue being here. So, he tried to endure the pain, as he struggled to roll over, so that he could get back on his feet.

But it was at that moment that he suddenly realized that he had actually been injured more than he had expected. The moment that he tried to stand up, he felt the pain that he was feeling all over his body intensify all of a sudden.

It was at that moment that he realized that he had actually broken several of his bones. And, he could feel that his life was actually drifting away.

Of course, he was afraid of death. He was a mercenary, and he killed for a living, in case there was an assassination mission. But when he was the one that was facing death, he was extremely afraid of it.

The bear approached him once again. Then, grabbing him by his right foot, it suddenly flung him in the air, launching him towards a tree.

Bang!

The huge tree shook intensely the moment that Anderson crashed into it. The moment that he collapsed onto the ground, there were no further movements from him.

It was clear that Anderson could no longer handle the impact of being thrown like that, after receiving a severe blow from the bear. So, his life ended just like that.

A little while after Anderson had died, the bear walked over. Using one of its legs, it turned Anderson over, and finally confirmed that Anderson was actually dead.

The actions of the bear resembled that of a human. And if there was a person who had seen the actions of the bear, they would definitely believe that it was a human that was currently wearing a bear outfit.

The bear did not continue staying there after confirming that Anderson was dead. Instead, it rushed away, using its incredible speed. And the next destination that it was targeting was actually the wooden cabin.

As for what it was going to do there, inferring from the fact that it had come over to kill Anderson, it was clear that it was going to kill the one that was currently inside the cabin.
