Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Chapter

568

The recruits, who had already hiked 10 miles and reached the halfway point of the mountain, were exhausted. Yvette, on the other hand, showed no signs of fatigue. "Instructor Murray, aren't you tired?" Sunny couldn't help but ask.

Carrying a 60-pound backpack and hiking 10 miles was tough even for these strong men, yet she seemed completely unfazed. It was beyond impressive! Yvette shook her head. "Not at all."

She had been training at this intensity since childhood. In fact, the training she had undergone back then was even more demanding, so she was well accustomed to it. The recruits looked at her with even more admiration, realizing their previous perception of her as delicate was a huge misunderstanding.

Seeing how exhausted they were, Yvette decided not to push them further. "Let's take a ten-

minute break."

"Thank you, Instructor Murray."

The recruits cheered and promptly settled down to rest, letting their guard down as they began to replenish their energy.

Yvette, however, remained vigilant, observing her surroundings. Suddenly, her expression changed, and she spoke in a low voice. "Get up! We need to leave here as quickly as possible!"

Though the recruits didn't understand why, they instinctively obeyed her command and quickly got to their feet in a move to retreat. Just as they began to move away, a ferocious brown bear charged out from the bushes, baring its teeth and growling menacingly. "Oh no! We've encountered a beast!"

"Calm down." Yvette showed no signs of panic as she directed them with composure.

"Sunny, lead First Squadron to the valley exit. I'll hold it off."

Yvette was just a young woman without a weapon. How could she possibly confront a massive predator like a bear?

Sunny looked at her with concern but followed her orders, efficiently guiding the others as they retreated toward the valley. "Watch out, Instructor Murray!"

As everyone held their breaths in concern for her, they saw Yvette swiftly evade the bear's attack with a graceful sidestep.

Seeing its prey escape, the bear let out an even more furious growl and charged at her again.

While dodging the bear's attacks, Yvette said in a deep voice, "In the future, if you encounter a powerful enemy without weapons and find yourselves at a disadvantage, it's crucial to remain calm. You should focus on wearing down the enemy's stamina and look for an opportunity to strike back decisively."

When she finished speaking, Yvette seized her chance and landed a solid punch on the bear's

head.

The bear roared in pain, continuing its assault as it snapped its jaw at Yvette.novelbin

"Watch closely! This is how you fight barehanded against an enemy to protect yourself and achieve sure victory."

Yvette instructed them while fully engaging in the fight, each move calculated to defend herself while inflicting damage on the bear.

"We underestimated her. She's even stronger than we thought," Sunny exclaimed as he watched her in awe.

"Yeah! Not only is she skilled with a gun, but she's also incredible at hand-to-hand combat! If this were a human opponent instead of a bear, they'd already be defeated!"

"Who would've thought? A pretty woman like her can fight barehanded against a bear."

Yvette moved with agility, skillfully dodging each of the bear's attacks. The animal couldn't catch her and ended up roaring in frustration.
