Chapter 78
Bonnie and Jim had only exchanged a brief look, but a vigilant Ivor caught it.
“Here you go.” Ivor opened the car door for Bonnie.
“Thanks.” Bonnie slid into the passenger’s seat.
Jim watched as the car drove off into the distance. He didn’t avert his gaze until they vanished from his sight completely.
Floyd leaned on his shoulder in a friendly manner and said, “It’s a good thing you were quick. Otherwise, it would have been a mess.”
“I’m Ms. Bonnie’s bodyguard. It’s my duty.”
“The night’s still young. Want to go for some kebabs?” Floyd said to Jim.
“That won’t be necessary.”
“Don’t worry about the money. You’re the new hire. It’s my duty to look after you. You might not know it, but I like you a lot. Come on. Let’s go.” Floyd started to drag Jim away.
All of a sudden, Jim and Floyd stopped in their tracks. Their gazes met.
“Did you sense that too?” Floyd asked.
Jim continued walking. “Don’t give anything away.”
“When did you realize?” Floyd was curious. It felt as if Jim had noticed a second before he did. They were being followed.
“About a minute ago.” Jim knew what was on his mind.
“Do you think they’re here because of you or me?” He asked.
‘Have I pissed anyone off?‘ Jim thought to himself. He had fought in a lot of matches and antagonized
a lot of people.
Could it be his rivals from the international fighting competition?
Jim made his way to a secluded place as he pondered the situation.
“Stop them!” When the hitmen saw that there was no one around, they made themselves seen. Jim swept his eyes across the hitmen and counted fifteen men. They were all strong fighters.
“Looks like they’re hitmen.” Floyd said, his back to Jim.
“Exactly.” Jim could tell as well.
hitmen (
Just as they were talking, the at them. They split into two groups. One of the groups. tried to fend Floyd off while the other one moved in to kill Jim..

“They’re after Tim.‘ Floyd thought to himself. Who in the world wanted Tim dead?
Floyd hadn’t gotten his job as Ivor’s bodyguard by being slow on the uptake. He could guess just who was behind this attack.
“Watch out!” Floyd yelled.
“Pow!” Jim punched one of the hitmen. He fell as if he had been hit by a truck.
“Pfft!” Blood spurted from his mouth.
“Impressive!” Floyd could tell Jim’s punch was more powerful than his.
Jim took care of several hitmen as Floyd looked on admiringly.
What a fight!
At that moment, one of the hitmen jumped out of the bush behind Jim as he was facing two other
opponents.
“Watch out!”
