Chapter 974 Ambush
Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan)
Ysabelle scoffed after watching Lily leave. âThis Lily Sanders is so unlikeable.â
Indeed, everyone has the right to pursue their happiness, but her attitude is seriously distasteful.
âYouâre right.â
Naturally, Felix didnât like women like Lily either, for they were too presumptuous.
âWill Bertram be able to get a race car ready?â he asked. They didnât know there was going to be a
race, Since none of them typically liked racing, finding a race car could be challenging.
âYes.â
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 wouldnât 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.
âAll right. Donât 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.
âStill, you ought to be careful, Sophie. After all, those participants are all big shots, and theyâre
ruthless!â Felix couldnât help advising.
Although they arenât using actual guns, itâs still dangerous being in the jungle. Besides, Lily is targeting
her. If Lily brings a real gun with her, Sophieâs life will be at risk.
âMm, I know.â Sophie had already applied camouflage face paint on her face and put on her combat
gear
âSophie, you truly are meant to join the military!â Ysabelle remarked, thinking Sophie looked really cool
from every angle.
âAll right. Itâs time for me to go in.â
Slightly worried. Tristan grabbed her hand. She may be impressive, but so are the others
âIf something goes wrong in there, you should prioritize protecting yourself. Got it? Weâll figure
everything out afterward.â
Her safety mattered to him more than anything else.
âOkay.â
With that, those twelve participants assembled as the person in charge explained the rules,
Once done, the person in charge asked, âDoes 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.â
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.
âMs. Tanner, I was serious when I said you werenât suitable for this sort of game. How about this? For
Mr. Tristanâs sake, Iâll let you stay by my side. Iâll keep you safe.â
Sophie was rendered speechless. Jeet. Canât she stop talking?
âYou talk too much!â
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.
âFelix, Sophie should do okay, right?â She was genuinely worried sick. Alas, they couldnât see the
situation in the jungle from their vantage point.
âSophie 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.
âMs. Tanner can definitely do it! Her marksmanship is second to none,â 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.
âMotherf*cker! Iâve been in this circle for so many years. Who wouldâve thought Iâd get eliminated
without knowing who shot me?â
âBoss! Why are you out so soon?â the manâs lackey asked.
âDid you think I wanted this to happen?â
âThatâs not what I meant, Boss! Well, letâs go! Letâs take a break!â Heâs eliminated in the first round
directly. I reckon heâs 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.
âF*ck! Who shot me?â
âYouâre already dead, so stop yelling!â She jumped down from the tree.
Seeing that a young lady had shot him, the eliminated man grew even more upset.
âMs. Tanner, youâve clearly been pretending to be weak! I canât believe youâre so apt!â She wasnât even
in the best position, yet she still managed to make the shot.
âPretending? When have 1? I never said I was incapable! In fact, Iâve been telling everyone Iâm pretty
good, no?â After saying that, Sophie ignored the âdead manâ 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, Iâll give her a taste of what getting shot feels like!
Just then, the woman had already entered Sophieâs crosshair. The latter smirked upon seeing Lily. This
jungle is truly too uncomfortable. Letâs just end the game early
Lily was also on high alert, so she immediately sensed something amiss upon coming here.
