Female Novel
Chapter 538 Lyndall’s Conviction
Night fell.
It was deep in the woods.
Gigantic trees and shrubs were everywhere.
The vines were intertwining like some enormous pythons.
The thick layer of leaves on the ground reeked of rottenness.
Zoom!
A human figure flashed across the woods into the shrub in the opposite end like an agile ape.
It didn’t make a single sound stepping on the rotten leaves and twigs on the ground.
From not far away, two streams of light flashed towards the direction where the figure had just
appeared.
Two human figures then approached quickly.
Under the light, two assassins were in sight wearing a smiling and a crying face mask respectively. The
masks gave them an insidious aura which sent chills down one’s spine.
“Now isn’t he something. He was able to move stealthily in the woods.”
The assassin with the smiling face mask stepped on the thick layer of leaves on the ground and made
some rustling sound.
His right calf had been bandaged. It was bandaged after the previous car chase. Due to the pain, his
movements were slightly restricted.
“He might be able to hide his footsteps, but he won’t be able to hide the sound of the air flow triggered
by his speedy movements,” the assassin with the crying face mask said coldly. He didn’t say this to
explain to his partner, but to deliver a message to Lyndall, who was hiding somewhere in the woods,
“You can’t hide your whereabouts for long in this silent mountain. I know you’re just nearby. You better
surrender and come out so we might give you a swift death.”
“That’s right. You’re wounded, so you’re going to die from blood loss if this keeps up. Why go through
this pain to torture yourself before you die?”
The assassin with the smiling face mask smiled mockingly.
Suddenly.
Something was heard moving behind them.
The duo immediately alerted and turned around.
“He’s over there!”
They dashed out simultaneously like a pair of arrows.
In the shrub.
Lyndall was curling up among the thorny undergrowths and restraining himself from moving a muscle.
Blood dripped out from the multiple poked wounds on his body.
Gritting his teeth, he had on a firm gaze.
As if the bleeding and pain on his body were nonexistent.
“Even if I might die from blood loss in these woods like a stray dog, I won’t give up the slightest chance
of survival.”
This was what in Lyndall’s mind, which was also his conviction at this moment!
After running away from the hotel, he sped the car all the way trying to get rid of the assassins.
But the assassins were too aggressive with the chase which gave him no choice but to drive out of the
city into the mountains.
He did think of contacting Willy again for help, but his cell phone was already broken from the previous
fight.
He was hoping to get rid of the assassins with the complicated terrain in the mountains.novelbin
But the assassins’ ability to cope with the complicated terrain was out of his expectation.
The only thing he could do now was to continue to hide as long as possible to buy himself time.
He had deployed his skills in getting around in the mountains to the extreme. He could even control the
angle of his feet landing on the rotten leaves and twigs so he didn’t make a sound moving around.
But as the assassin said, he can hide the sound of his footsteps but not the sound of air flow from his
movements.
In the woods where it was dead silent at night, the sound of air flow he made when moving around at
high speed was simply too easy to detect.
But there was nothing he could do about it. He wouldn’t be able to move from place to place quickly
otherwise.
The bleeding in his right shoulder hadn’t stop. He simply tore a strap of cloth off his shirt and wrapped it
up to slow down the bleeding.
Even so, Lyndall was at the moment worn out from all the running and hiding.
Losing blood and strength, waves of sleepiness hit him like trucks.
The only thing that was keeping him up was his intrinsic sense of survival.
Gradually, the sound of the assassins disappeared.
Finally, they were far gone.
Taking a silent sigh of relieve, Lyndall disregarded the thorns and reached out his hands to tear apart
the shrub. Then he pounced out of the shrub he was hiding in.
But that also caused the thorns that were hooked on his skin to tear his wounds even deeper and
wider.
Thud!
Falling to the ground, he gasped for air heavily.
He picked some leaves and sucked on them relentlessly.
He was extremely thirsty.
He felt as if his tongue was about to burn and exploded.
Food and water were the only source of energy to sustain the body’s functionality.
At this moment, Lyndall could only suck on the dew from the leaves that could hardly moisturize his
tongue.
Suddenly.
Light flashed from a distance away.
A rant was then heard, “Damn, there are so many animals here in this jungle. We’ve been distracted so
many times!”
Again!
Lyndall had already gotten used to it by this moment.
In the afternoon, there were a few times when he managed to get out of the assassins’ grasp by having
the animals distracting their chase.
Now that it was already night time, it made things easier than it was in the afternoon.
It was just that the assassin had quick reactions, they always came back to where he was immediately
after sensing his motions.
It took less than two minutes every time for them to come back, which made it almost impossible for
Lyndall, who was exhausted, to get rid of them.
Ran!
Bearing the sore and pain in his limbs, Lyndall dashed towards another direction tip-toeing.
He didn’t even bother to discern where he was heading anymore. As long as he could get away from
these two assassins, he was confident he would be able to make it out alive from this mountain.
“He’s over there!”
Just as Lyndall made his move, two streams of light flashed towards the spot he was squatting at just a
second ago.
The next second, the assassins speedily approached.
They saw the few pieces of leaves that were freshly plucked, and also the bite marks on them.
The duo exchanged a look that was filled with helplessness and frustration.
This target… was too tenacious!
The whole day of hunting had made the two professional assassins feeling resentful.
Lyndall gave them the feeling they were dealing with a creature that was so hard to terminate.
They knew Lyndall had no more tricks up his sleeve, and also that he was nearly passing out due to
blood loss.
Bt Lyndall simply wouldn’t give up and deadlocked with them up until this moment with his worn out
body.
This was a humiliation!
But at the same time, the duo oddly felt a sense of reverence towards this “creature”.
“We’ll be in big trouble if we don’t terminate this kind of target. He will be coming back for us.”
The assassin with the crying face mask said gravely.
The other nodded in agreement.
Then, they focused to sense the vague swooshing sound in the woods, distinguished the direction and
went after it.
At the same time.
By the mountain’s roadside.
A dozen dashing cars halted simultaneously.
Brent and Mr. Ward got down and helped Jack out of the car.
Willy had already got down and ran towards the two demolished cars parking by the roadside.
After confirming, he turned to Jack and the crowd in exhilaration.
“Mr. Hughes, this is Lyndall’s car!”
With that said, he excitedly looked into the woods, “Lyndall is in these woods. The assassins’ car is
here too. Lyndall should still be alive.”
Jack and Brent exchanged a look which was filled with grave.
Being Lyndall’s subordinate, Willy learned the ability to survive in the underground world.
It was reasonable for him to have this kind of thought that most people would have.
But for Jack, what he learned from Brent was the ability to murder.
As the king of mercenary soldiers, the God on the battle field, Brent’s sophistication in this kind of
matter is head and shoulders above Willy’s.
Same went to Jack, who learned everything he knew from Brent.
In the minds of Jack and Brent.
If they were the assassins, they wouldn’t come back for the car after they terminated the target. They
would leave the scene with another option.
However, Jack ordered, “Commence the search operation! Make the big scene as much as possible. I
want to alert the two assassins so they feel the pressure and hold back on their actions!”
