Clenching her fists, Bonnie started trading blows with the bodyguard.

Ivor and Jim noticed it. They wanted to go over and lend her a hand, but the other bodyguards were keeping them occupied.

Ivor was worried that she might suffer heavier injuries if this kept up. His face was filled with concern.

Even Jim was a little bothered. He dealt heavier blows by the second, doing his best to take out the surrounding bodyguards, so he could race to her as fast as he could. However, the bodyguards just kept coming.

It was becoming clear to Bonnie that this particular bodyguard wasn't easy to deal with.

If she had been in better shape, she wouldn't have had any problem dealing with the likes of him. She could've taken on ten of them, for crying out loud.

With that said, her shoulder was injured. The fact that she stayed in the tunnel for so long meant that she was asphyxiated. So, she was not on top of her game.

It was not like she was losing ground with this particular bodyguard, but keeping him away was a little difficult.

She wasn't too worried about it. If she was lacking in the stamina department, then she'd make up for it using her skills!

Halfway through the fight, the bodyguard was starting to realize that Bonnie wasn't as frail as she made herself out to be. So, he, too, started getting serious.

Both of them were locked in deadly combat. At first, she could deal with him with ease. As time went by, though, she was getting more tired. At one point, she pulled her shoulder and let out a painful groan. "Ugh..."

The bodyguard seized the opportunity. His eyes were filled with menace as he swung the knife at her.

She reacted, but not fast enough. All she could do was turn the side of her body at the knife and try to bring the damage to a minimum.

Jim noticed it almost immediately.

Just as the knife was about to slash Bonnie, he darted at the bodyguard, hurling his feet at his belly.

The bodyguard swung the knife at Jim at the last second.

The tip of the knife sliced past his face, drawing blood and cutting off his mask.

As the sliced mask fell off, Jim's stoic face was revealed to everyone there.

He had shown up on the international papers. So, it didn't take them long to figure out who he was. Their eyes widened in shock and their jaws dropped.

'Jeez! I can't believe he's the world-renowned King of Combat, Jim Ryan!'

Shane was still stunned when he scanned Jim from head to toe. Then he looked at Bonnie, who the latter was protecting with his life, and thought back to how the security guard at Bonita Research Institute treated her.

Then, it hit him, and his eyes widened in shock.

"Y-You're... Ms. Boni..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his stammering was more than enough to tell her just how astounded he was.

What he said was enough to tell her one thing. Shane knew who she was now. Stepping forward, she looked at him coldly.

"If you know who I am, what are you waiting for? Call your men back right now. You'll become the entire nation's enemy if anything happens to me."

Shane's face fell. In a matter of seconds, his back was covered with sweat.

'No one could've known that Ivor's fiancé is the world-renowned Ms. Bonita! However, I've come so far. It's too late to pull back now. It's not like I can just call the whole thing off anyway.

'I can't just let them leave, so I should just kill all of them and get rid of them once and for all! Everpeak is such a remote place that no one will know what I did as long as my men and I don't leak the news.'

Then, he turned around and barked coldly at the surrounding bodyguards, "Take them out! I want all of them dead. None of them are leaving this quarry alive!"
