The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard-Chapter 425 - 424

Ye Tian saw his look and knew he had shifted his focus onto the bodyguard. Holding his gun, he also began to eliminate the distractions around him. His gun was never meant to rival the power of a sniper rifle, but at least it could kill a few people blocking the drug lord.

Another gunshot.

This time it hit, but it wasn’t fatal; instead, it struck the arm, disrupted again by that bodyguard beside the leader. He screamed loudly, while simultaneously blasting his AK47 around.

A fierce gun battle ensued. The Reconnaissance Soldiers, having the advantage of higher ground, were initially in a better strategic position, but the fight didn’t go as smoothly as anticipated. The traffickers hid behind the camels and began to slowly retreat. Camels are tougher than humans; a bullet or two wouldn’t affect them much, instead, it could agitate them and make them run.

Once they cross the national border, all efforts would be lost!

Soon, a worse situation appeared.

The enemies had snipers, and skilled ones at that.

Mao Niu had earlier acknowledged from the intelligence that these traffickers would be tough, but not this tough. Leaving aside their weaponry, the commander this time was unlike any they had encountered before. Snipers? They had never had snipers before.

The situation turned dire. Flowers of blood bloomed one by one on the snow and soon it turned into whole patches, staining the snow with thick red.

This sniper was even more ruthless than Wolf. Wolf responded immediately, but then he found out the opponents had two snipers, which were too much to handle.

Those closing in reported back; they had sealed the breach before the enemy noticed, but encountered substantial resistance. Their combat abilities seemed much stronger than before.

Two misfires left Wolf slightly rattled, but he soon calmed down; it was time to change his position. As per the sniper rule; shoot once, change the spot. With five planned spots, only one used, there were four remaining, giving enough leeway for engagement. Yet, when he packed up his rifle, he realized Ye Tian, who was initially lurking nearby, was gone.

...

Ye Tian increasingly felt that the bodyguard next to the drug lord was the real linchpin in this operation. Although his purpose was specific, he couldn’t just watch his country’s soldiers get killed. As for how to explain his sudden departure, he’d deal with that later.

He detoured from the middle of the mountain, following the route noted from the mountaintop straight towards the target. The mountain path, especially one covered with heavy snow, was treacherous. With each sliding step, Ye Tian crouched lower to keep his balance, moving carefully like a cat walking on a wire.

From above, one would see that Ye Tian had chosen the closest path to the traffickers. A figure cloaked in white moved rapidly towards the heart of the traffickers, like a stealthy dagger. Ahead on his route happened to be a trafficker clad in a camouflage suit aiming from the snow.

Snow crunched under his heels, quickly painting his pants white like frost. After about five minutes of jogging, Ye Tian started panting heavily. Initially relying on his physical stamina, now the high altitude quickly exacerbated his breathlessness, causing stars before his eyes, a heavy chest like being pressed by a huge stone, and his legs felt leaden, each step resounding like a heavy stone hitting the ground.

After adjusting his breathing, Ye Tian felt his body normalize. Judging the distance, he also began to crouch even lower, slowing his pace. The snow here was sticky, and a careless step would make a loud crunch, likely alerting the enemy.

He saw him!

This idiot, not changing position and still lying here.

From across, he had spotted two snipers in a crossfire position, Wolf accommodating one, so he only needed to deal with the other. He had expected some complications, but it turned out to be an amateur, which fortunately reduced the trouble.

Ye Tian sneakily approached, and as the man’s finger pulled the trigger again, Ye Tian pounced, covering his mouth with one hand while his dagger penetrated the man’s neck. Dark purple blood spurted from the groove of the dagger, rapidly melting the surrounding snow before refreezing into a sticky mass.

Turning the man over revealed a brown face, likely from the India and Pakistan region.

Ye Tian slung the Type 81 over his back, picking up the old Soviet SVD sniper rifle and swiping two magazines from the body into his ammo pouch, then he rushed to the higher ground on the east. From there, he could survey the entire trafficker group, enabling easier targeting. As for the other sniper, if Wolf couldn’t handle him, he wouldn’t deserve to be out here. Sure enough, there was no further activity from that other sniper.

Ye Tian’s earpiece was silent, probably due to the distance affecting the signal’s reception. The radio transmission here could only reach about 200 meters, with severe conditions making the frequency even less stable. Despite military-grade equipment, occasional malfunctions were inevitable.

Without further concern, Ye Tian knelt, set up the SVD, and began targeting one enemy after another on the ground. People taking cover behind camels could block bullets from the front, but they struggled against Ye Tian’s elevated shooting angle. Soon, the enemy was in disarray, with people colliding in their panic and finally falling to bullets. The traffickers, initially able to resist, ultimately couldn’t escape this onslaught from Huaxia’s Reconnaissance Soldiers. They couldn’t have anticipated their leaders’ arranged snipers failing at such a crucial moment. freёnovelkiss.com

With the traffickers’ defeat imminent, there was no need for Ye Tian to stay. He discreetly searched for his main targets, but he discovered that the drug lord and his bodyguard were no longer among the crowd.

...

The afternoon light thickened, lacking the earlier clarity. The whole valley appeared somewhat bleak, and in the distance, two figures emerged.
