Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 75

The man couldn't find a hiding place, so he tightly closed his eyes and waited for what could be a deadly blow.

But just then, he felt the wind beneath his feet suddenly stop, and the breeze swept over his head. Three seconds later, the man heard a girl's indifferent voice, "Are you one of those Survival Show folks wearing camouflage pants?"

Burton immediately opened his eyes. He saw a stern and haughty girl shifting her long legs, sizing him up carefully. Burton breathed a sigh of relief, noticing that the girl was also dressed in a camouflage vest and pants.

He asked in amazement, "Are you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking behind the girl, cold and straight-backed.

"Mr. Reed!" Burton exclaimed.

Eileen hesitated for a moment, glancing at the man and then at the approaching Egbert. She asked in surprise, "Is he insulting you for getting old? Should I beat him up?" With that, she threw a punch at the man's chest.

Her fist was like a hurricane, but just as it was about to hit the man's chest, it was intercepted by a warm, large hand.

Egbert's hand was broad, and he held Eileen's delicate hand in his palm, looking at her fiercely determined face. He softly reassured her, "Stay calm."

Egbert gently moved Eileen's hand away and turned to look at Burton across from them, asking, "Why aren't you wearing clothes?"

Burton immediately complained, "It's because of those hornets!"

Upon hearing the word "hornets," Eileen remembered and asked Egbert, "Is he your teammate?"

Egbert nodded.

Eileen said disdainfully, "With his skills, how can he protect you?"

Egbert chuckled and agreed, "You're right. Only you can protect me."

Eileen proudly stated, "Of course!"

Listening to their conversation, Burton, still puzzled, asked, "Mr. Reed, is she..."

Egbert gave him a glance and said, "Eileen."

"She's..." Burton began to say, but suddenly stopped. This must be the girl Saul had mentioned, the one who was close to Mr. Reed...

Burton thought of how easily he had been defeated by her just now and felt a bit disheartened. He might not be able to avenge his aunt; she was too strong, and he probably couldn't defeat her.

However, Burton was also curious. He asked simply, "The martial art you just used, is it Israeli military combat?"

Eileen nodded. Burton gave her a thumbs-up, impressed. "It packs quite a punch."

Eileen looked at him, somewhat arrogantly, "You can do it too."

When they entered the rainforest, Eileen and Elaine Lopez sparred using seashell martial arts. Eileen had deliberately controlled her strength, knowing that Elaine was part of the show's crew. So, those more than fifty moves they exchanged were all just for fun.

But when she used Israeli military combat just now, she had gone all out. She was concerned that the opponent might be an enemy, so she had unleashed her full power. Under those circumstances, if this young man had been hit by her a few times, he would have been in serious trouble.

Since they were acquaintances, Eileen didn't dwell on it. She turned and walked back to the campfire, where she saw Christy clutching a submachine gun, trembling in a corner.

Eileen approached, took the submachine gun from him, and handed him a pistol, saying, "The submachine gun has too much recoil; you won't be able to handle it. Take this."

Christy held the pistol nervously, saying, "I don't know how to use this either."

Eileen replied, "It's better to have it than not. There's still an enemy out there we haven't caught. This will at least give you some protection."

Christy could only hold the pistol cautiously, afraid of accidentally firing it.

At this moment, Egbert and Burton approached.

Eileen handed Egbert a pistol as well. He accepted it with one hand, looking at her. Eileen then picked up an expensive sniper rifle, slung it over her shoulder, and said to Burton, "You stay here and protect them. I'm going out."

Egbert frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"
