Pursuing Her

Chapter 974 Ambush 

Ysabelle scoffed after watching Lily leave. “This Lily Sanders is so unlikeable.”

Indeed, everyone has the right to pursue their happiness, but her attitude is seriously distasteful.

“You’re right.”

Naturally, Felix didn’t like women like Lily either, for they were too presumptuous.

“Will Bertram be able to get a race car ready?” he asked. They didn’t know there was going to be a race, Since none of them typically liked racing, finding a race car could be challenging.

Tristan phoned Bertram and told the latter to drive a race car to them.

Meanwhile, the first round-jungle warfare-was about to commence. Everyone who entered the jungle would be fighting on their own. The winner would be the person who shot down the most targets without getting shot.

There were twelve participants in total participating in the competition.

However, they wouldn’t be using actual guns, making it akin to a first-person shooter video game. After all, the participants were all influential people. Things could turn ugly if one of them were to die during the event.

“All right. Don’t worry, guys. Such a game is as easy as pie, Sophie uttered. For her, this was pretty much like going back to kindergarten as a degree holder.

“Still, you ought to be careful, Sophie. After all, those participants are all big shots, and they’re ruthless!” Felix couldn’t help advising.

Although they aren’t using actual guns, it’s still dangerous being in the jungle. Besides, Lily is targeting her. If Lily brings a real gun with her, Sophie’s life will be at risk.

“Mm, I know.” Sophie had already applied camouflage face paint on her face and put on her combat gear

“Sophie, you truly are meant to join the military!” Ysabelle remarked, thinking Sophie looked really cool from every angle.

“All right. It’s time for me to go in.”

Slightly worried. Tristan grabbed her hand. She may be impressive, but so are the others

“If something goes wrong in there, you should prioritize protecting yourself. Got it? We’ll figure everything out afterward.”

Her safety mattered to him more than anything else.

“Okay.”

With that, those twelve participants assembled as the person in charge explained the rules,

Once done, the person in charge asked, “Does anyone have any questions? No matter what happens, we need to remember that this competition is held for the sake of Fandar. Thus, please do not go overboard.”

All of the bigwigs were aloof and indifferent in nature, so they merely nodded in response.

When everyone headed in, Lily purposely walked beside Sophie.

“Ms. Tanner, I was serious when I said you weren’t suitable for this sort of game. How about this? For Mr. Tristan’s sake, I’ll let you stay by my side. I’ll keep you safe.”

Sophie was rendered speechless. Jeet. Can’t she stop talking?

“You talk too much!”

Then, she overtook Lily. Keep me safe? Is she looking down on me? Perhaps I should just give her a headshot later to bring her down a peg or two,

Everyone here was notable, so facing such a game, they all looked relaxed on the surface. However, in truth, they were all eager to be the winner.

After all, in order to cement their places in Fandar, they had to be sharpshooters.

Soon, everyone got into position. Some of them planned to hide and only reemerge after the others were shot.

Lily, on the other hand, was eager to be on the offensive, not wanting to waste any time.

Within five minutes after the participants entered the jungle, gunshots resonated, signifying that the battle had begun.

Ysabelle was so on edge that she nearly forgot to breathe.

“Felix, Sophie should do okay, right?” She was genuinely worried sick. Alas, they couldn’t see the situation in the jungle from their vantage point.

“Sophie is a magnificent shooter, but those bigwigs are experienced in combat. After all, they killed their way to get to where they are today. In other words, she might be at a disadvantage in terms of real-life battle experience.

Right then, Bertram had returned, looking at the exit anxiously. Those who were shot would exit first, but it had been ten minutes, and no one had come out yet despite the continuous gunshots.

One could only imagine how intense the battle was.

“Ms. Tanner can definitely do it! Her marksmanship is second to none,” he said. And I think she has adequate real-life battle experience too!

At that moment, a man with a red dot on his forehead was seen exiting the jungle.

“Motherf*cker! I’ve been in this circle for so many years. Who would’ve thought I’d get eliminated without knowing who shot me?“

“Boss! Why are you out so soon?” the man’s lackey asked.

“Did you think I wanted this to happen?”

“That’s not what I meant, Boss! Well, let’s go! Let’s take a break!” He’s eliminated in the first round directly. I reckon he’s completely out of the game now.

Thereafter, every couple of minutes, a big shot would be eliminated. For the time being, none of them knew who had shot them, so they could only wait to find out who the winner was.

Meanwhile, upon hearing someone coming her way, Sophie climbed up a large tree after eliminating one of the bigwigs.

True enough, someone arrived moments later, moving forward cautiously. However, little did he know that someone was watching his every move.

Sophie seized the opportunity, took aim, and fired in one fell swoop.

“F*ck! Who shot me?”

“You’re already dead, so stop yelling!” She jumped down from the tree.

Seeing that a young lady had shot him, the eliminated man grew even more upset.

“Ms. Tanner, you’ve clearly been pretending to be weak! I can’t believe you’re so apt!” She wasn’t even in the best position, yet she still managed to make the shot.

“Pretending? When have 1? I never said I was incapable! In fact, I’ve been telling everyone I’m pretty good, no?” After saying that, Sophie ignored the “dead man” and ambushed her next target.

Soon, she eliminated five participants and found a place to rest, planning to save the last bullet for Lily.

In the meantime, having already eliminated four people, Lily had been searching for Sophie, but to no avail.

When I find Sophie, I’ll give her a taste of what getting shot feels like!

Just then, the woman had already entered Sophie’s crosshair. The latter smirked upon seeing Lily. This jungle is truly too uncomfortable. Let’s just end the game early

Lily was also on high alert, so she immediately sensed something amiss upon coming here.
