Chapter 345 Injured
John was startled by this. He looked was the direction that Jaden had shot, but he could not see anybody there. But, the sound of things falling was so real, indicating that it was clear that Jaden was shooting at something or someone.
John did not know what Jaden had been shooting at. But still, he was afraid. Maybe Jaden had misjudged, and ended up shooting their colleagues? That was a possibility.
But even without considering that, he himself, who had been trained, being the vice captain of a special unit team, was not capable of realizing that there was someone that was approaching them. But somehow, not only had Jaden realized that there was someone, rather people that were approaching them, he also ended up shooting them.
It was only three times that Jaden had shot, but three consecutive bodies fell, if it was true that what Jaden had shot were actually people or animals.
Suppressing the amazement and surprise in his heart, he began approaching the area. Since Jaden had already shot, it was clear that if there was an enemy close by, they would have already been alarmed.
It was clear that Jaden was using a gun that was having a suppressor, but it was impossible to be able to completely muffle the sound of a gunshot. So, increase someone was close by, they would be able to hear the suppressed sound of a gunshot.
Jaden did not say anything, and simply followed behind John. With his good vision, he had already seen those three people that he had shot. Even though he had not seen them clearly, he had seen enough to be able to judge that they were an enemy.
He followed behind John, to ensure his safety. Since they had already encountered enemies here, there was a possibility that traps might be laid around here. So, they had to be cautious as they moved.
Almost an entire minute later, they finally arrived where the sound had come from. They had taken so long simply because John was extremely cautious.
And when John saw what had fallen on the ground, he could not help but feel chills running down his spine. It was three bodies that were currently lying in a pool of their own blood.
Three bodies, and all of them were currently dead. That indicated that Jaden had managed to kill all of them with just three shots. After observing the body for a while, John was able to easily tell that each and every one of them had received a bullet in a vital area.
Two of them had received head shots, while the last one had received a bullet in the neck. It was this one that had caused the sound of something rushing through the bushes. It was clear that he was still struggling for quite a while before finally dying.
John shifted his gaze from the dead body is on the ground, looking towards Jaden. At this moment, he could not help but feel that the information that he had acquired about Jaden was not accurate.
The Information stated that Jaden could use guns. But, the information did not say that Jaden was actually a master in using guns. And, considering his combat capabilities, John had never thought that there was a possibility that Jaden was going to be this strong, extremely skilled with extreme precision when it came to the usage of guns.
John took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions. At this moment, he realized that there was more mystery surrounding this bodyguard. Additionally, if Jaden did not have any ulterior motives, then he had won a jackpot.
It would be even better If he could recruit Jaden into either his family, or into the team. The possibility of Jaden joining the team was quite low, considering that Jaden had already showed his stance to this issue. But there was still a possibility of him joining the family forces.
"Let's get moving. Since they have attacked us, the others might also be targeted. We have not heard any commotion, and there is a possibility that they are still being stalked." John said as he began looking around.
At the same time, he communicated through the walkie-talkie, informing Oliver and the others to be attentive. They had to be cautious, considering that there was a possibility that there was an enemy that was watching them.
John understood that had it not been for the fact that Jaden was there, there was a possibility that he might have been killed, or might have ended up being fatally wounded.
After all, the bullet that had shot at the area where he had been previously standing before being pulled back by Jaden was not something that could be ignored.
It was a good thing that the walkie-talkie was linked to the earpiece that each and every person was wearing. For that reason, despite him talking through the walkie-talkie, the others were able to hear clearly, without anyone around them hearing the sound.
But just as John had finished speaking, and was about to turn around and talk to Jaden, they suddenly heard the sound of a commotion. Then in the next moment...
Bang! Bang!
Two consecutive gunshots were heard. This immediately alarmed both Jaden and John. From the sound of the gunshot, it was clear that the fight had already erupted, and it was not that far from where they currently were.
"You can take the guns that they have. While you are not allowed to use the guns from the special unit, unless you are a member of the special unit yourself, you are not restricted in using the guns that belong to the mercenaries." John said in a hurried voice.
"I'm just okay with a pistol. It is much more convenient." Jaden responded. Using a big gun would require him to carry something big while walking around. He just like the convenience of carrying a small gun.
As for the disadvantages of using a small gun, such as the effective range, Jaden did not really suffer a disadvantage like that. After all, even if he could not shoot an enemy from a distance, he would be able to know that they were coming due to his sharp senses.
That way, he would be able to hide away, evading an enemy, and waiting for a chance to shoot, even before the enemy noticed him.
John was slightly surprised. But when he thought about the way that Jaden had taken out these three dead bodies on the ground, he was convinced. Though, he felt that it would be better if Jaden could use a bigger gun with better firepower. Read new chapters at empiren/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Despite his thoughts, he did not try to convince Jaden otherwise. Instead, he began moving towards the direction of the gunshots. He was not sure who it was that had been shot, and there was a possibility that it might be a member of his team.
Jaden followed closely behind John. He should have been the one taking the lead, but there was no need for that. In case an enemy appeared, with his sharp vision, he would be able to see them, take them out before they could do anything.
In just a matter of about a minute, they finally arrived in an area that they had heard the sound of the gunshots. They were moving cautiously. After all, they were not sure about the situation here.
The moment that they arrived, they saw that there was a member of the Eagle team that was currently sitting on the ground. He was trying to bandage a wound on his hand.
"Mouse, how is it?" John asked as he looked at the dead body that was not that far away from where they currently were.
"He almost got me. Had it not been for the message that you gave me, giving me a heads up, I would have died by now. These mercenaries are quite cunning." The soldier referred to as mouse responded.
"Okay, let's get out of here as soon as possible. The sound of the gunshot will obviously attract others here. While our team members might be coming over, there is a possibility that the enemy might be rushing over as well." John said while vigilantly looking around.
"I'm already done. That guy nearly got my heart. Had I not moved slightly before he pulled the trigger, it would not be my arm that would have been wounded, but instead, it would be my heart that would have been burst." Mouse said as he got up from the ground.
Jaden on that hand was slightly amazed by this guy's tolerance of the pain. Even though he could not clearly see the wound, just from the fact that the bandages that had been used to wrap around the wound were already soaked in blood, it was clear that it was not a small one.
Despite that, this guy was acting as if he could not feel any pain at all. That was such high pain tolerance.
Since Mouse had already completed his first aid, the three of them immediately began moving. Since they did not know the location of the enemy, and Mouse was currently injured, they could no longer move separately.
Mouse could only use one hand currently. The other one was currently injured, and it was impossible for it to be able to use a gun.
"We will have to complete this task as soon as possible. That way, you can go back and receive medical treatment before your arm suffers much damage. That way, you will be able to retain your arm." John said as they kept on moving.
