Never Too Far Novel
Chapter 741-750
They were immediately surrounded by the motorcycles. The gangsters began to bang on the car windows with the iron bars in their hands. As such, the bodyguard in the driver’s seat swerved the car to knock down some of the outlaws, but the people banging on the windows were too many for them. Suddenly, a row of studs appeared in front of the moving car. It turned out that the motorcycles were only there to divert their attention, forcing the car to accelerate, and then unable to brake in time to avoid the studs.
Sure enough, popping sounds were heard. Although the car tires were anti-puncture, the car was eventually slowed by the overwhelming number of nails. As a result, the three cars behind immediately accelerated and caught up.
“President Presgrave, it appears that we will have to get out of the car to deal with these gangsters.” The captain of the bodyguard analyzed the situation calmly, knowing that they would be unable to proceed at all under the current circumstances. “The cars behind us did not catch up with us, but we’re already entangled by them. We can only get out for the time being.”
Elliot nodded, after which the bodyguard neatly drew the car mat beneath his feet, revealing the spot where they hid their sophisticated and well-equipped weapons.
“Take this, President Presgrave. We must launch a successful counterattack against these outlaws.”
Elliot accepted the gun, and he was still well-versed in the shooting techniques. Despite having been in the business industry for many years and maintaining a successful career, he clearly did not forget the skills he had learned while he was training in the secret army.
To avoid the confrontation on the avenue, the car took a side road and drove into the dense woods.
The four people in the car quickly exited the vehicle and sought shelter. At this point, the outlaws’ cars rushed in, followed by the motorcycles arriving one by one. When the first man collapsed to the ground, the others instantly became vigilant.
The outlaws lacked a comprehensive understanding of their adversaries. They were simply outlaws who wanted money after completing their missions, but this time they knew the target was a wealthy man. It was very simple for them to get rid of a businessman.
However, when the second and third men were killed, their nerves were put to the test. Their opponents’ skills and equipment were obviously superior, as was their shooting accuracy.
“Come on! Get your act together, everyone! Whoever kills the target receives one million as a reward!”
When the terrified men learned of the million dollar reward, they quickly regained their senses and spirits. They would never be able to make such good money in their lives, so today was their only chance.
When the outlaws’ leader discovered that they had lost six of their members, he became enraged and pulled out the bazooka they had just used to fire aimlessly at their opponents, eventually forcing one of Elliot’s bodyguards to appear. While dodging bullets, the bodyguard injured his leg and fell to the ground at a position very close to Elliot.
Elliot ignored the risk of being discovered while saving his bodyguard. He reached out and dragged his bodyguard to a safe location.
“Don’t worry about me, President Presgrave. The most important thing right now is your safety,” the bodyguard breathed out. His broken leg was bloodied and burned.
Elliot removed his suit before he ripped off the shirt sleeve to expertly bandage the bodyguard’s wound. “Please bear with it for a while. We’ll take you to the hospital as soon as we get back to the city.”
Even though the bodyguard grimaced in pain, he was moved. The reason why they were protective of Elliot was because he was a kind-hearted boss.
Elliot was unlike any other businessman who didn’t care about the lives of his subordinates. Instead, he always treated his bodyguards like brothers.
Elliot’s personality made his subordinates want to serve him, even if it meant risking their lives.
At this fraction of moment, the outlaws discovered Elliot’s hiding spot and immediately approached him.
Elliot had to get up and leave to keep his subordinates safe, leading the group of outlaws in a different direction to distract them.
A few bullets flew by his side and he deftly avoided them all. He ran to a high vantage point and aimed his shot at the four outlaws with no misses. They were shot dead before they could even call for help.
Elliot returned to the injured bodyguard’s side just as the captain of the bodyguard joined him. “President Presgrave, could you please take Mark and depart in this direction? You can hail a cab along the way to get to the hospital. We’ll go in the opposite direction to distract the outlaws,” the captain said.
“I’ll go with you!” Elliot suggested.
The stunned captain refused. “No, your identity is too important for us to risk. We must—”
“Stop talking nonsense. Let’s go.” Elliot stood up, ran 100 meters in a favorable direction, and fired two shots into the sky.
The captain exhaled a sigh. He had to admit that the entire bodyguard team was less brave and capable than Elliot at times.
Elliot was a truly admirable human being.
At this point, the daylight had dwindled to a barely perceptible lightening of the gloom. Elliot and Reece, the captain of the bodyguard, had already drawn the outlaws into the dense forest area.
Dusk arrived earlier than expected; everything in the forest was hidden beneath it, as if a predator was on prey.
“Be careful, President Presgrave,” Reece reminded Elliot since Reece had the responsibility to ensure the man’s safety.
The thirty-five-year-old Reece’s heart was cautious because he had to remain alert.
Elliot nodded, and he checked his gun magazine holder and discovered that he only had one bullet left.
He calmly reloaded it while Reece quickly handed over his firearm, saying, “Here, President Presgrave. I have four more and you can have mine.”
“No, keep it for yourself!” Elliot gently shook his head.
There were only about ten outlaws left when they arrived in the deep woods. They had lost more than half of their members. The leader was irritated and enraged. They appeared to have underestimated their enemy this time.
The information provided by the other party did not state how powerful the businessman was. However, the outlaw leader watched his brothers die one by one at Elliot’s hands.
“After you, President Presgrave.” Reece made the decision to head deep into the forest.
Elliot, on the other hand, was sick of running away from the situation. If he had to walk into the mountains, it would take him a few days to get out, and he didn’t have time to wait that long.
Elliot had only one thing on his mind: to bring Lorelai back so that he could finish the operation at his hospital and to calm his wife.
Therefore, he didn’t want to wait any longer.
At this moment, Elliot noticed an outlaw approaching him in the bushes six meters away, so he motioned Reece to go forward with him. Reece’s heart raced as he saw this and dashed behind Elliot.
The outlaw went over to investigate when he heard a twig snap in the trees behind him, not realizing it was a stone thrown by Reece.
As the outlaw looked around frantically for the source of the noise, Elliot stepped from behind him, snatched his weapon and took him down to finish him off.
Elliot quickly looked at the gun’s magazine and found it more than adequate. Instantly, his eyes turned as cold as a stone, and Reece followed suit when he saw Elliot’s sleek figure moving toward the outlaws.
Within minutes, flocks of frightened birds flew from the woods as it was accompanied by loud noises and screams. After fifteen minutes, there was complete silence.
Reece, who was holding a weapon, was dumbfounded that he had witnessed a scene from an action film whereby the man he was protecting, Elliot Presgrave, was the main character.
“Let’s go before the sun goes down!” Elliot told Reece as he dropped the things in his hands.
Reece was taken aback, and he quickly followed Elliot.
While driving in the car that they came in; they contacted the other team members who were in the other three cars. The team members in those cars soon came to pick them up, but the two injured bodyguards had been transported to the hospital.
Then, Elliot reached for his phone and dialed Anastasia’s number.
“Hello! Hello, Elliot, is that you?” Anastasia’s voice was tinged with emotion.
“It’s me. Don’t worry, I’m fine,” he reassured her. She must have been worried at home for the past two hours!
“You frightened the hell out of me.” She sniffled, indicating that she must have shed tears beforehand.
“I’m not going to die so easily. I still have to look after you and Jared for the rest of my life!” Elliot tried to entice her with humor.
On the other hand, Anastasia’s tears became even more audible. “Could you kindly refrain from bringing up the subject of death? That’s not what I want to hear from you.”
“Okay, fine. I won’t bring it up again,” Elliot coaxed tenderly.
Elliot’s demeanor surprised Reece. Is he the same Mr. Presgrave who killed the outlaws in the woods?
Anastasia informed Elliot to return home early when she learned he would pick up Lorelai.
Meanwhile, Lorelai sat on the sofa, sipping vitality serum for nourishment. She wanted to go outside for fresh air to calm down, as she felt tense and stifled within the villa. Then, she recalled her mother’s warning and knew she had to stay put.
At night, the villa stood out even more prominently. Several shadowy people showed up in front of the villa’s outer wall, and the bodyguards led the way as they climbed up the wall.
Lorelai was asleep in her bedroom when she became aware of the sound. Panicked, she rose to her feet and yelled for her assistant, but nobody responded.
As she walked down the hall, she was thinking about her assistant when she noticed the door to her house being forced open and a tall figure enveloped in a subtle aroma of blood entering the house with a gloomy coldness.
Lorelai stepped back quickly and trembled as she was overwhelmed with fear. The man who appeared before her at this time was not the same man who had once held her heart; instead, he was a dangerous incarnation of Hades, who had come down from hell himself.
“E-Elliot, what are you doing here?” She maintained her composure, but her emotions were in disarray.
When she looked closer, she discovered Elliot’s suit was smeared with a red dye that resembled human blood.
