Chapter 78
Fists filled with fury kept pounding on the tanned man.
Not until the man spat blood, his face covered in wounds, kneeling on the ground, unable to open his eyes, did Egbert speak up.
He stepped in, blocking Eileen’s hand that was about to swing again.
Eileen looked at him, obviously not done beating him up.
Egbert said, “You’re gonna beat him to death, you know.”
Eileen retorted, “No way! I didn’t aim for any vital points. He’s not gonna die. These are just flesh wounds.”
Egbert glanced at the man covered in wounds, in unbearable pain.
Silent for a moment, he finally let go of his hand, softly saying, “Alright, keep at it a bit more then.”
Both the live–stream audience and the people in the camp were taken aback.
The soldier controlling the drone almost hit a tree out of surprise.
Ten minutes later, Eileen finally had her fill of beating the man.
She took the rope the man had used to bind the monkeys, tied his hands, and started dragging him back.
Egbert noticed she used a military binding method, which surprised him a bit.
They walked for a few minutes, returning to the creek from before.
Eileen squatted down to check on the monkeys. They were still unconscious, their wounds the same as before.
Eileen handed the rope to Egbert, carefully lifting one monkey in each hand, cautious not to touch their wounds.
The tanned man, seeing the rope in Egbert’s hands, squinted his eyes and suddenly lunged at Eileen, intending to knock her over and escape.
But just as he took half a step, a sudden sharp pain hit his stomach, and he staggered, throwing up blood.
Eileen turned around and asked, “What’s up?”
Egbert, hand behind his back, unclenched his fist, smiled and said, “Nothing.”
Eileen glanced at the tanned man, frowning, “Why’s he puking blood again?”
Egbert shrugged, “No idea.”
The man, not understanding their language, didn’t know what they were saying, but looked
Compared to Eileen’s fierce punches, Egbert’s punches seemed even more powerful!
The tanned man began to tremble.
He was terrified. Who exactly had he messed with!
By the time they returned to the camp, the man didn’t attempt to escape anymore.
Hearing the commotion, Burton immediately grabbed his rifle.
Seeing them return, he lowered his gun and quickly came over.

Egbert
“Mr. Reed! What happened to Eileen…” He didn’t finish his sentence when he saw the wild monkeys in Eileen’s arms, his face filled with confusion, “What happened?” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Egbert didn’t explain, just handed him the rope, saying, “Tie him up with the others.”
Taking the rope, Burton finally noticed the man’s injuries, asking in surprise, “How’d he end up like this?”
Eileen looked up, annoyed, “I did it. Got a problem with that?”
“…” Burton immediately shook his head, as if it were about to fall off.
He said, “No, absolutely not.”
Eileen snapped, “Well, what are you waiting for? Go tie him up!”
Burton immediately went to do as told.
When Burton came back, he saw Eileen sitting by the fire, two monkeys on the ground, checking their wounds.
At that moment, a small helicopter flew over.
It landed, carrying a medical surgery box.
11:36
The loudspeaker on the plane rang out, “Due to time constraints, we could only find this spare surgery box. We’ve contacted local animal rescue, but they said they won’t be able to come until tomorrow morning at the earliest.”
Tomorrow?
Eileen frowned.
She had Burton bring down the surgery box, and then asked, “What about the criminals and this hostage?”
Hearing his name, Christy immediately looked up.
The pilot responded, “That’s a bit complicated. There are some procedures still in progress. If all goes well, we’ll get local government approval tomorrow. They’ll accompany us when we take them away.”
Tomorrow, huh?
Seems like both monkeys and humans would have to wait ti!! then.
Eileen nodded, slightly annoyed.
Seeing her mood, the pilot hurriedly spoke in a very formal and passionate tone, “Thank you for your significant contribution in capturing international criminals! On behalf of all the victims‘ families harmed by these criminals, I express my gratitude!”
Hearing this, Eileen felt a bit better.
She said, “Save your thanks. Just give me the reward.”
The pilot thought, “What?”
Egbert rubbed his forehead.
Burton and Christy both looked at Eileen.
Did they hear that right?
The pilot fell silent for a long time before finally saying, “…We can customize a special award for you.”
Eileen asked, “Does it come with a cash prize?”
The pilot replied, “…No.”
Eileen continued, “Then what’s the point of your blabbering?”
The pilot was speechless.
The pilot flew off in the helicopter, awkwardly.
With surgical tools at hand, Eileen began operating on the monkeys, using the remaining one and a half bottles of clean water to wash their wounds.
During this, one of the monkeys woke up, blinking weakly.
Eileen patted its head, then she gave it an anesthetic!
In less than five seconds, the monkey passed out again.
As Eileen stitched up the monkey, Christy obediently helped hand her things.
At that moment, Burton pulled Egbert aside.
He whispered to him, “Mr. Reed, while you were gone, HQ sent me orders and told me some things about Eileen.”
After Eileen stitched up the monkey, applied medicine, and bandaged it, she turned around to see Egbert and Burton whispering to each
other.
She shouted, “Hey!”
Egbert raised his hand, signaling Burton to stop talking.
He looked at Eileen, “Hmm?”
Eileen said, “I wasn’t calling you. I was calling him.” After saying this, she pointed at Burton.
Burton pointed at himself in surprise, “Me?”
Eileen nodded, “Yeah, come over here.”
Burton, a little uneasy, approached with caution.
Eileen handed over the two monkeys to Christy to look after, and then went inside a tent.
She pulled out a suitcase, rummaged for some clothes, tossed it to Burton, and said, “It’s gonna be super chilly tonight, put this on.”
Burton took the clothing, feeling genuinely warmed inside and said, somewhat touched, “Thank you.”
Eileen shot him a look instantly, “Why do you put on such an expression? This ain’t a gift, I’m
Xst lending it to you.”
