    Chapter 166


    When they first reached the depths of the tropical rainforest and the tiny kingdom, Cameron’s rtionship with Laura remained


    unchanged. Not a word was spoken between them.


    They were weed by the local king and stayed in rooms specially prepared for them, along with their group. Laura’s purpose


    was to discuss a billion-dor 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.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    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 theirpanions, including the elite bodyguards, were killed.


    Cameron began a heart-pounding escape thatsted 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 inparison.


    His mentor had once unleashed world-ss assassins against him to unlock his potential. The assassins surpassed the local


    forces‘ capabilities.


    Thus, Cameron and Laura made their way, confronting and oveing anyone in their path. To protect Laura, Cameron took a


    bullet in the chest. The shotnded less than three centimeters from


    his heart.


    Despite his injury, he used a silver needle to seal the wound temporarily. He wasn’t nning 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.

    After that, he removed the bullet from his chest.


    Despite her fear, Laura tenderly cleaned his wound with a clean handkerchief. Cameron’s view of Laura shifted slightly at that


    moment. Despite her aloofness, she showed a hint of gentleness.


    After the bullet was removed and the wound was bandaged, Cameron extinguished the fire. They ventured deeper into the


    forest.

    That night, exhaustion enveloped them, with Laura utterly worn out. Cameron found a secure spot for a temporary rest. He dug a


    shelter to evade pursuers and camouged it with branches. He remained vignt throughout the night to protect Laura. And that


    night, Laura clung to him like a


    child.
