Chapter 739 - Climbing The Tree (2/2)

”Let me carry you, Madame.” However, the guard's wounds had only just healed. He was already having a hard time even running alone. His clothes seemed to be stained red because the wound reopened again. How could Anya ask him to carry her?

”You are still injured. Let's walk again, I'm still strong,” Anya gritted her teeth. She looked for a log that looked strong enough for her to use as a stick.

As they walked, Aiden's bodyguard suddenly stopped moving because he could hear movements behind them.

”What's wrong?” Anya asked.

”There are people who are after us. I heard about five or six people and they are running very fast in this direction,” the guard said in a low voice.

As soon as the woman heard this, she immediately panicked and kept saying something.

”Reza's men are after us. If he finds out that my mother is helping you go, he will kill us,” said the boy.

The bodyguard looked around him and made a decision. ”Madame, hurry up and go. Let me stop them.”

”You are alone and injured. There's five of them! You can't beat them alone. Instead of fighting them, we should hide,” said Anya.

The woman looked around her and pointed towards the dark forest, suggesting that they hide there.

”Isn't it dangerous there? Isn't there a snake?” As soon as Aiden's bodyguard saw it, he felt the dark forest was too dangerous.

”Isn't there a cave or anything?” Anya asked.

”Nothing. The cave has collapsed because of a landslide,” said the child. ”Can you climb trees?”

”I can climb, but...” Aiden's bodyguard looked at Anya doubtfully.

Anya laughed when she saw that doubtful look. ”Don't underestimate me. I often climbed trees when I was a child.”

The woman immediately picked up her child and climbed a large tree. They hide in the most shady parts. Since she was wearing green, they were completely hidden behind the leaves.

The bodyguard squatted in front of Anya, allowing her to use his shoulders as footholds since Anya was not tall enough to reach the trunk.

Anya did not hesitate at all. Several people were chasing her and she didn't have time to hesitate. She immediately used Aiden's bodyguard as a foothold and grabbed a branch strong enough to climb it.

The guard was relieved when Anya was able to climb fast.

As soon as Anya went up, she heard the voices of those after her. She immediately hid and did not dare to move an inch. She saw Aiden's bodyguard immediately run and climb the tree in just two or three steps, like a monkey.

After that, he disappeared.

The tree they chose to hide was not on their main path, but far enough from the road. It was not easy for those pursuers to find them.

The sound of the footsteps were getting closer and closer, making Anya's heart beat fast.

”Brother Reza said we have to catch that woman.”

”They passed that route. They are so fast!”

”That damn woman helped them escape!”

”We should have restrained the child so they can't run away like this! Damn it!”

Then they moved and went as fast as the wind.

However, even after those people had left, the four of them didn't dare to come down from the tree. They were afraid that the chasers would come back and find them.

They remained in the tree for more than half an hour. Seeing that the people from earlier had not returned, they could finally feel relieved.

However, before they could get off the tree, they heard footsteps from afar. This time, the sound seemed to show a sign that more people had come than before.

”Hurry up and hide again! Someone's coming! This time they're around eight people,” said the guard.

Before his voice could be heard, Anya had already jumped from the tree. The guard was so scared and immediately shouted, ”Madame, what are you doing?”
