Chapter 551 - 551: A Narrow Escape
Near Davenport.
When Leopard and Grizzly Bear saw Connor and Yelena jump into River Davenport, they were abnormally angry.
After all, Connor’s current life was worth twenty million. Moreover, the two initially thought killing Connor would be very simple.
But they never expected Connor to escape under their noses.
Leopard stared at River Davenport below the fence and asked Grizzly Bear angrily, “Bro, what should we do now?”
“What else can we do? If we don’t kill this kid, it won’t be so easy for us to make a move next time. Help me keep an eye here. 1’11 go down and kill this kid…”
As Grizzly Bear spoke, he took off his coat and threw his phone to the side of the road. He took out a dagger and jumped down without thinking.
Leopard was not very good at swimming, so he did not jump in. Instead, he stood on the shore and stared at the river.
There were very few people near Davenport at the moment. Basically, no one had seen the thrilling scene that had just happened.
Leopard held the gun tightly and stared at the river nervously. As soon as Connor appeared, he would shoot him to death.
After Connor and Yelena jumped into River Davenport, Yelena instinctively struggled and wanted to stick her head out.
However, Connor quickly reached out and held Yelena down, indicating that Yelena must not reveal herself.
Connor had seen Leopard and Grizzly Bear pull out something from their pants, so he knew very well that they must have guns in their hands.
If Yelena revealed herself now, it would expose their location.
Connor was good at swimming. He had been lurking in the water and observing the situation on the surface. Connor felt that since the other two were professional hitmen, they would chase after them.
After a while, Connor found nothing unusual in the water. He reached out and gently pulled Yelena, then brought her forward.
Fortunately, it was midnight. Connor and Yelena would have no chance of survival if they were on a busy street.
After all, the other party had a gun in his hand. However, it was dark around Davenport, and there was no light.
Connor felt that as long as he could carry Yelena as he swim for a distance, no matter how skilled the hitmen were, it would be impossible for them to find the two of them.
Although Yelena did not know what was happening, she knew in her heart that Connor was in danger. Therefore, she followed Connor’s instructions and swam forward.
After about two minutes, Connor felt it was difficult to breathe, so he instinctively wanted to raise his head to catch his breath and observe the hitmen’s position.
“All!”
But just as Connor was about to raise his head, Yelena suddenly screamed.
Connor suddenly turned around and looked at Yelena. He found a hand holding Yelena’s ankle; it was Grizzly Bear.
“Not good!” Connor exclaimed in his heart and quickly swam toward Yelena.
When Grizzly Bear saw Connor coming over, he immediately let go of Yelena and stabbed at Connor with a dagger in his right hand.
Under normal circumstances, Connor would not be a match for Grizzly Bear.
However, they were in the water now. Grizzly Bear had already wasted much energy to catch up to Connor and Yelena.
Moreover, due to the resistance of the water, when Grizzly Bear stabbed at Connor with its knife, he couldn’t move fast enough.
Connor instinctively dodged. The blade did not stab Connor’s vital points but cut his arm.
Connor couldn’t care less about the pain in his arm as he stuck his head out of the water and let out a long breath.
Grizzly Bear seemed to be planning to take advantage of this opportunity to catch its breath, but Connor did not give Grizzly Bear this opportunity at all. He kicked Grizzly Bear’s head.
“Thud!”
Grizzly Bear, already lacking in oxygen, found his right leg cramping after being kicked by Connor. He struggled crazily in the water.
Connor knew that Grizzly Bear must have cramped up, but he was not in the mood to care about the Grizzly Bear’s life and death. He shouted at Yelena, “Quickly swim forward…”
After Yelena heard Connor’s order, she quickly waved her hands and swam forward.
Connor looked at Grizzly Bear, still struggling in the water, and his heart suddenly wavered.
However, he was worried that it would be troublesome if Grizzly Bear was acting to trick him.
“You’re on your own!” Connor looked at Grizzly Bear, sighed softly, and swam toward Yelena.
“Bro, what’s wrong?”
Leopard on the shore saw that something was wrong and hurriedly shouted.
“My… My leg is cramping. Hurry up and come down to save me…” Grizzly Bear was struggling in the water as he shouted intermittently.
“F*ck, why do you have a leg cramp now?” Leopard cried desperately. Then, he took off his clothes and jumped into the water.
After Connor saw the second person jump into the water, he was relieved because he knew the hitman’s accomplice must have come down to save him. At least no one would die.
“Connor, I think I have cramps too. 1 can’t swim anymore…” Yelena suddenly shouted at Connor.
Although the weather in Porthampton was hot, it was still very cold in the water. A normal person would have cramps when they went in.
Connor hesitated momentarily before pulling Yelena into his arms and swimming toward the shore.
“Connor, where are we going now?”
Yelena was in Connor’s arms, and her face suddenly turned red. After all, she had never been so close to a man.
“Swim to the opposite shore. The hitman just now had a cramp in his leg. If they return the way we came, we will die!” Connor calmly analyzed.
“Will that person die?” Yelena asked Connor with a frightened expression.
Yelena had experienced two assassination attempts in a day. She must be very nervous. Connor could feel her body trembling.
“I don’t think so. I heard his accomplices come down to save him…” Connor said lightly.
“That’s…That’s good!”
Yelena replied to Connor with a trembling voice but said nothing else.
Fortunately, the distance between the two banks of River Davenport was not very far. It was at most about 500 meters.
Therefore, even if Connor had to carry Yelena, he could still swim across. If it were River Yarlford in Yarlford, they would probably die in the river..
