The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 520 - 508

Yulia shot the guard a dirty glare and comforted Joanna once more. "Don’t worry, our sanatorium hires professional forest rangers to clear out Dragonmount regularly. There shouldn’t be that big of an issue, so I’m sure we can find him."

"I know, and he’s not an average person either. He’s going to be safe." Joanna took a deep breath, her gorgeous face lacking emotion. "Mrs. Walker, you can head back for now, I’ll go look for him."

"No way!" Yulia refused immediately. "Dragonmount is a complicated area, there are just too many dangers out there, with dark pits and ponds, and occasional sightings of wild boars and wolves too! You have no experience in dealing with that, so let’s just have a forest ranger look for him instead."

"Didn’t you say there shouldn’t be that big of an issue, and that you’re sure we can find him?"

"Ah..." Yulia seemed awkward. She wasn’t exactly lying when she said finding him wouldn’t be an issue, it’s just that they would likely find him... dead.

"Don’t worry, Mrs. Walker, I’m a tough girl, I’ve been through worse. You have nothing to worry about." Joanna said, ignoring Yulia’s protests and left for Dragonmount alone.

Passing through the crooked muddy roads into the narrow mountain valleys, the only sounds she heard were the rivers flowing lightly, occasionally partnered with the calls of wild animals. It was indeed rather frightening.

’That guard really wasn’t exaggerating things, Dragonmount is way too dangerous. No normal person would be able to handle it at all. And Ace is blind... He would have died long ago... Heck, some tiger might be chewing on his bones right this minute!’

"No, no way, Ace isn’t just an average guy, he’ll be fine!" Joanna held her breath anxiously, forcing herself to stop overthinking.

’As long as I don’t see any blood trails or bones, that means the situation isn’t as bad as I think. He must still be alive!’

With her sharp observation skills, the woman had been searching far and wide for any trace of the man. Throughout the entire journey, she could see footprints within the wet mud, and they were no doubt left by Ace.

Hence, she figured that she could find him as long as she just followed those footprints.

However, after about a few miles deep into the forest, the footprints disappeared out of nowhere. Moreover, there was a clear sign that something heavy had been dragged away, accompanied by a faint trail of blood.

Seeing this, Joanna’s heart sank from the shock. Clenching her fists tightly, she followed the bloody trail, only to be met with the worst scenario possible, leaving her completely frozen.

There was a large black bear chomping down on something. It was just a pile of gory flesh at this point, with its bones and organs exposed.

’I-Is that Ace?!’ Stumbling backwards slightly, Joanna lunged at the bear without thinking. She yelled hysterically, "Get lost, you damn bear! How dare you attack my man?! I’ll kill you!"

If this were a movie scene, many within the audience would judge Joanna’s rash decision behind the screen. That was because she was currently up against a 7-foot bear that could kill her with just one slap from its paw, especially when she wasn’t armed.

It was no different from a death wish, but it was true that Joanna no longer felt the will to go on living after seeing it...

The large bear was enjoying its meal at the time. However, hearing some noise coming from behind it, it paused and turned to look at the woman.

Its mouth and fur were drenched in blood, and it was holding onto a piece of bone, with a few smaller pieces of flesh still attached to it.

"Ah!" Joanna broke down right there and then.

’That... That’s Ace’s bone... Ace’s flesh... And it’s right in front of me!’

Roar!

The bear howled at Joanna, and the woman was unsure if it was excited, or trying to provoke her.

"I’m going to kill you! I’ll shred you to pieces!" Joanna shrieked as she attacked the bear’s head with a spin kick.

Despite her petite figure, she was a very agile and strong person, and immediately sent the black bear stumbling backwards.

The bear had never met such a bold person and was frozen in place. The bone in its hands was no longer as appealing now.

It just stared at Joanna blankly, as if it was trying to ask: "What the hell is wrong with this woman?!"

"What are you looking at?! You ate my husband, so why are you playing the victim here? How would you feel if I made your wife into stew?!"

The wife of the bear would certainly find this ordeal ridiculous as well, if it were here.

Joanna was so sad that she sobbed while punching the bear maniacally. "I’m warning you, puke him out right now! I’ll cut your stomach open if I have to! Don’t you know how important he is to me?! How could you eat him? Are the deers and boars not enough for you here?! Their meat is clearly more tender, so why did you have to eat him?! It was such a cruel way too – you didn’t even leave his bones alone!"

If any deer or boar were here to witness this, they would be speechless.

Roar! Roar!

The bear could no longer endure Joanna’s ramblings and started growling at her, revealing its sharp teeth. It swung its large paw towards her head.

Joanna wasn’t powerless either. As the number one bounty hunter, she was able to dodge the bear and retaliate once more. She landed several harsh punches and kicks to its face, as if they were competing against each other in a fighting ring.

However, humans and beasts were still rather anatomically different.

After a few moments, Joanna was starting to feel tired. Her face was flushed bright red, and her hair was covered in sweat. Even so, she didn’t want to admit defeat just yet. She had to seek revenge for Ace.

Roar!

The bear angrily bared its teeth, digging its claws into the ground and lunging towards Joanna with malicious intent.

Unable to counter in time, the woman ended up falling to the ground with the bear standing on her shoulders. It roared once more, causing its disgusting saliva to drip onto her face.

Just as it was about to bite down on her neck...

Joanna was silent. She closed her eyes and thought, ’Well, this is it, I guess. At least I get to meet Ace in this bear’s stomach later.’

After that, she heard a few loud gunshots, and the expected bite never came. Moreover, the weight on her shoulders disappeared instead.

"What... happened?" Joanna carefully opened her eyes, noticing that the ferocious black bear was now laying next to her, unmoving. Its head and back were filled with gunshot wounds, with warm blood forming a pool around its corpse.

"I think... you’ve misunderstood." A familiar voice came from above her, clearly teasing.
