Chapter 1053

Bruce raised his eyebrows slightly. If Darcy had not mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it.

More than ten years ago, Darcy was still a boxer in the underground boxing ring. He also represented the boxing ring, participating in various boxing competitions and fixed boxing matches.

In one of the most crucial boxing matches, the behind-the-scenes boss asked him to lose to his opponent in a fixed boxing match. However, that match was of extraordinary significance to him. He did not listen to the behind-the-scenes boss’s instructions and won that competition eventually. As a result, the behind-the-scenes boss lost a large sum of money. Because of that, he offended the behind-the-scenes boss and was hunted down by various underworld forces.

For the last time, he was severely wounded by a group of thugs, and his life was hanging by a thread. It was also because he was not destined to die that he happened to encounter Bruce.

This might be a tricky problem for Darcy, but it was a piece of cake for Bruce. Bruce helped Darcy deal with the underworld forces effortlessly and made Darcy his bodyguard.

From then on, Darcy’s life changed drastically. Even though Darcy was only Bruce’s bodyguard, he was still someone with status.

Therefore, Darcy was filled with gratitude for Bruce and had always been loyal. When Bruce encountered danger, Darcy would even rush to the front at the risk of his life.

As Bruce walked, he was tripped by the vines and staggered.

Darcy quickly reached out to help him. “Mr. Everett, be careful.”

Bruce balanced his body. Before Darcy could help him, he had already stabilized himself.

“This place is full of swamps. We have to be careful.”

“Yes, okay.” Darcy took the lead to explore the way with a trekking stick.

After the two of them walked for another half an hour, the sky was already pitch black. Although this place was considered a hot and humid area, the temperature difference between day and night was huge. It might be hot during the day when they wore short sleeves, but it would still be cold at night even when they wore down jackets.

Bruce took a deep breath and looked at the sky. “It’s getting late. We have to find a place to spend the night first. Otherwise, the temperature at night will be even lower. We can’t see the road now, so we can’t travel anymore.”

“Okay.”

A moment later, the two of them found a relatively flat terrain sheltered from the wind and planned to spend the night there.

Darcy took out a simple tent and sleeping bag from his backpack. He then opened the tent and laid out a damp-proof mat.

“Mr. Everett, sit down and rest first. I’ll start a fire and boil some hot water!”

“Okay.” Bruce put down his backpack and took out a map and compass to check.

Meanwhile, Darcy went to pick up some dead branches and rotten leaves nearby. He started a fire
