Untamed Charming Wife

“Ice bullets can only be made at absolute zero; how did they end up here?” Oliver was surprised, but not scared, just a bit taken aback.

In Seatowne, someone using ice bullets to attack them was completely out of the ordinary.

“I don’t know, but that person is close by,” Kayla said, her steady gaze sweeping through the dense forest around them.

Ethaniel looked at the bullet hole, lost in thought.

“There are too many obstructions in the forest. We should leave here first. Ethaniel, call the police immediately. This area falls under the Seatowne West District jurisdiction, and we must catch the assailant,” Kayla said calmly. The presence of someone with ice bullets in Seatowne was extremely dangerous, especially since the target was clearly Ethaniel.

Ethaniel took out his phone, glanced at it, and then put it back.

No signal. This person not only had ice bullets but could also interfere with communications.

Kayla understood what was happening when she saw Ethaniel’s action and couldn’t help but worry.

Oliver and Ethaniel, one not as skilled as herself and the other just a child.

Kayla frowned. “Although a sniper rifle has a long range, there are too many obstacles in the forest. To kill in one shot, they must shoot from close range. The sniper is probably nearby. I’ll find them. You two stay put.”

With that, Kayla prepared to leave.

“Come back!” Ethaniel pulled her back, his eyes steady and his tone firm. “You follow me. I’m the target.”

“No, you’re the target, so you can’t expose yourself. The ice bullet’s lethality is terrifying. If you go out now, you’re asking for death!” She couldn’t let Ethaniel get hurt.

Ethaniel looked seriously at her determined face, suddenly pulled her over, and forcefully kissed her. “I never stand behind a woman.”

Then he stood up, using the trees for cover.

Kayla bit her lip, knowing Ethaniel’s temperament. Once he decided on something, she couldn’t change his mind.

She grabbed Oliver’s hand and said sternly, “Stay close to me and don’t expose yourself, understand?”

Oliver looked at her, then took her hand and walked ahead. “I never stand behind a woman.”

Kayla was at a loss for words.

The strongest fighter being protected?

Kayla reluctantly said, “Let me go first; it’s safer this way…”

“Shut up!”

Both father and son spoke simultaneously, making Kayla fall silent immediately.

…

In the shadows of the bushes.

Sharp eyes were pressed against the scope, the crosshairs aimed at Ethaniel’s head.

The surrounding branches blocked most of Ethaniel’s face, and the visible parts kept shifting with his movements. Pulling the trigger now had less than a fifty percent chance of hitting.

He had to wait for a perfect opportunity.

He was an excellent sniper, skilled in lurking.

However, Ethaniel, who had been moving cautiously using the branches and trunks as cover, suddenly disappeared from the scope!

Holding the sniper rifle, he scanned the surroundings through the scope but saw nothing but branches.

Did Ethaniel leave his son and lover behind and flee?

No matter, his mission had two targets. With Ethaniel temporarily out of sight, he could first kill Oliver.

But killing Oliver was much more difficult. Oliver’s height was too low, and his body was mostly covered by branches, making a one-shot kill even less likely.

A sniper’s primary quality was a steady mindset. Even with a high task difficulty, he would patiently wait for an opportunity.

Unexpectedly, after Oliver accidentally fell, only Kayla was left in the scope.

Oliver was gone too?

Instinctively, he moved the scope to search for the father and son. At that moment, the surrounding bushes suddenly rustled, obviously manipulated.

Due to the high density of the forest, the surrounding bushes formed a continuous cover. The rustling sounds made it impossible to determine the source.

In his moment of confusion, a force kicked the sniper rifle off the tree branch.

Kayla moved swiftly, kicking the rifle away and punching the sniper in the face.

The sniper, dressed in green camouflage, stepped back, revealing his dark skin and cold face.

Kayla looked at the tall, muscular black assassin with surprise.

Unlike ordinary criminals, professional assassins were well-trained, with physical fitness and skills far superior to the average person.

Kayla clenched her fists, her bright eyes narrowing slightly. “Who are you? Why are you trying to kill Ethaniel?”

The black assassin ignored her question and lunged at her.

Kayla blocked his attack with her arm and counterattacked.

The assassin was also surprised. He hadn’t expected such a petite woman to have such good skills.

Kayla lacked his build and strength, but she was far more skilled and agile, making their fight evenly matched.

Just as Kayla was about to subdue him, Ethaniel appeared behind the assassin. “Hey, I’m here.”

The assassin turned and, upon seeing Ethaniel, his eyes turned red. He drew a knife from his waist and charged at Ethaniel.

“Watch out!” Kayla yelled, seeing the weapon and rushing to help.

“Don’t go!” Oliver, hiding under the bushes, grabbed Kayla. “Dad can handle it. If you go, he’ll have to protect you.”

Ethaniel was unarmed, while the assassin held a sharp knife, putting Ethaniel at a disadvantage.

But Ethaniel moved decisively and skillfully, evading in time and steadily suppressing the assassin in several exchanges. Seizing the right moment, he broke the assassin’s wrist holding the knife and was about to subdue him.

The assassin pulled out a smoke bomb and threw it on the ground.

Kayla immediately covered Oliver’s nose and mouth. The assassin took the opportunity to escape, quickly disappearing into the depths of the forest.

Kayla, holding Oliver, crawled out of the smoke area, followed by Ethaniel.

Oliver was well protected by Kayla and unhurt. Upon seeing Ethaniel, he rushed over. “Dad!”

“I’m fine,” Ethaniel patted his head, then took Kayla’s hand. “Let’s leave here first.”

Kayla had many questions but considering the current situation, she suppressed them.

When they returned to the campsite, Ethaniel pressed the emergency button on his watch.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Soon, a loud roaring sound came from above. Amidst the crowd’s astonished gazes, Ethaniel’s family boarded a helicopter and flew away. The entire process took less than five minutes, leaving the onlookers baffled by what had happened.

…

In the helicopter’s co-pilot seat, Linda’s face darkened upon seeing Kayla, but she quickly composed herself. “Boss, I’ve already sent people to investigate the recent entries and exits. If there’s anything suspicious, I’ll report it immediately.”

Kayla expressed her opinion. “If it’s an organized professional assassin, checking the entry and exit records might not help. They likely used fake passports.”

“Miss Green!” Linda glared at Kayla. “How to investigate is my business. This assassination attempt is a serious failure on your and your police department’s part. You should be worried about how to explain this when we return.”

“If your boss got hurt, as a police officer, I would take some responsibility. But he’s unharmed. Whether this incident is our police department’s failure is not for you to decide!” Kayla retorted.

Linda sneered. “Then please, Miss Green, do your job instead of pestering the boss all day.”

” Pestering him?” Kayla sneered. “I think it’s time you got your eyes checked.”

“You-”

“Linda, you’re too noisy.” Ethaniel, looking at the clouds outside the helicopter, stopped Linda from continuing.

At the same time, he was deep in thought. A professional assassin from abroad appearing here must mean… they were sent by them.
