SILENCE.......

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRLWQkHDPv

WHOOSH....

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJjxapD86x

The dusty air cleared...

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtorlEZXO96

Arthur was gone.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnWR8UPVmn

"Hm?" P muttered, dumbfounded.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2mxfAMiN5

CLICK—

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWAz6giQfY

P froze, snapping his head to the side as his eyes widened in jolting shock—

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDR8doSQpQ

CRACK!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF8e5AApFT

BANG...!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIJ168u6CE

"OH SHIT—!" P instantly dove behind an overturned gaming table.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahUurZfnmh

BANG! BANG!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBnxKkv7Ga

BANG! BANG!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtrlrwdKfP

"YAAAAAA.....!" Arthur screamed, firing wildly at P's position.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFbnl1KTdO

PEW! PEW!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH4UZkuCrr

The gun and its rounds were heavily imbued with Arthur's surging red aura, turning the firearm into something ten times more lethal.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEZMShsHJe

PEW!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EBgo56RWm

A bullet ripped clean through the heavy wooden table P was hiding behind, blasting a deep crater straight into the concrete floor below.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYtkA1W6jY

P's eyes flickered with shock.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnV4s30Tqn

BANG—!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxsOQnk79m

"What the fu—!" P scrambled out from behind the cover.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMluDOxZN31

BANG! BANG!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDt3ojlCcS

PEW! PEW!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkq29d3UCs

TMP. TMP.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZhlQLytEk

TMP. TMP.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mo7AYzI8s

Abandoning the table, P sprinted across the floor, dodging bullets as Arthur pursued him, firing continuously.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaVrCRm9Qg

TMP. TMP.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU3Lxdjh38

GRAB!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDhOYkWvYS

P snatched a fallen timber tabletop off the ground then tossed it at Arthur with his right arm.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvZW6aYsNV

FLING!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBVieROOJd

STEP.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe4zk9tOQ7

With cold, dead eyes, Arthur tracked the flying timberwood table and pulled the trigger.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42DhzXmjln

BANG!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGW8DD06Cm

PEW!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUMhJjFKLt

BOOM- BUAK....!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuWtGqRcZf

The entire tabletop exploded into splinters.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiXyFQIe67

"JE-SUS!" P gasped in shock.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEt9wL7hXq

A stray round grazed P's shoulder, blasting into the concrete wall behind him as he winced.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlkDPxvOFg

BANG! BANG!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVZbc6gmcg

WEAVE.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX38zTpZfLQ

BANG!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHC3YHnT0v

WEAVE.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdufVGZp38

Arthur kept firing; P kept weaving.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx69PKzUaOi

This guy's gun is shooting actual grenades... I need to close the distance fast, P thought.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhTVkkJLNK

P grabbed a silver serving tray off a nearby cart and flung it straight at Arthur's head.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgMK4CkofU

Arthur fired directly at it.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WlYlYP2Vk

BANG...!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24UYSEqJGC

"HUH?!" Arthur's eyes widened.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaYHdJNlsD

The bullet didn't penetrate the tray—instead, the metal plate accelerated, flying straight for Arthur's face at an impossible speed!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1mMVeAyqb

WEAVE.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsSNo2rObJ

Arthur reacted instantly, snapping his head back to let the tray whistle past. But as he snapped his head back up—

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkK0SbEGwZ

P was already there, standing less than a meter away.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2tqQWTdMm

Yet, that was precisely what Arthur had planned.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YQr0DFoL9

Arthur had purposely exposed himself, baiting P into throwing a distraction to close the gap—but was lucky enough to quickly dodge the tray or else it would have been his head off.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBHUVIY5xP

P froze mid-step. Arthur already had the barrel pointed directly between his eyes, a disturbing smile spreading across his face.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEcMqeGA8h

.........

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNapRR2zXQA

P stared quietly down the barrel.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgEY1R7obd

CLIC—

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nb8Ia9Tup

"Damn, he got me," P thought right as Arthur squeezed the trigger.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMz11J5ISp

Suddenly—

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoobpWVIuwE

WHOOSH—

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGtDLVAJSK

WHAM!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavYKlSddZW

A heavy metal fire extinguisher flew through the air, smacking Arthur square in the right side of the head before clattering to the floor.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LxLpFNmEl

PLANG!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZdtoqX3l5

It didn't do a single bit of physical damage to Arthur, but it ruined his focus.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4vlYjRsI7

"GAAAAAHH!" Arthur growled, turning his head slowly toward the source of the throw.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvva3we7bJu

Arthur's eyes widened slightly.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8nyKZpfLX

P looked over, equally surprised.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttre7amsTO

"...Hanabi?" P thought.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpTEDDVWvW

Hanabi stood at the top of the ruined stairs, looking down at them.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAqFrDgQ7V

STEP.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4Gx2c64CM

"Arthur, what are you—" Hanabi started.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rVnE9z6Cu

BANG!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1anNvLAhjE

Before she could finish her sentence, Arthur snapped his wrist toward her and pulled the trigger.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMLYd5xjI8

BANG! BANG!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdQ8n574ER

Hanabi reacted instinctively, leaping off the cracked staircase and diving behind an overturned roulette table.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XknL7H6ey

THUD!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksg4mpNNsQ

P capitalized instantly, grabbing Arthur's gun arm and forcing it downward as they grappled over the weapon.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf3aY8GYj9

BANG! BANG! BANG!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rJK65D1rE

Rounds chewed into the floorboards between their boots.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYyW8HEfxF

"Hurgh!" P grunted, refusing to yield an inch.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuyItQ1UFe

Together, they wrestled the barrel upward toward the ceiling—

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIyJaleQuy

BANG...!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8FEMaMQC1

BANG...!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPhHQkX149

P drove a sharp elbow straight into Arthur's throat!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpPvypWqPx

WHAM...!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nDRgutRWj

"GURGH...!" Arthur choked out, immediately snapping his forehead forward in a brutal headbutt.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2ct5HULWL

POW..!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRM04HPbor

WHOOSH!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4P5kcVFkg

THUD..!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbjWGASTAw

"Hurgh—" P grunted as he was hurled backward onto the floor.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RuQeHYl1h

WHIISH..

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl3EHe6eee

In slow motion, Arthur turned back toward the table Hanabi was hiding behind, raising his weapon to fire.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkqd1h82mj

Hanabi was already crawling on her hands and knees to reach a sturdier table nearby. But just as she slipped behind it—

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75kYQHx8Pn

ROLL.... ROLL....

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0yoVCH7Nv

The heavy table inexplicably rolled away on its own side-wheels, leaving her completely exposed in the open.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLeuTiVIcF

"—Eh?" Hanabi blinked, utterly dumbfounded.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzDg6iZHxB

She watched the table coast away in disbelief while turning back to face Arthur with widened eyes .

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWUbca44WY

As Arthur aligned his sight—

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYaRNN6Ygw

CLi—

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH8oTClTKP

P tackled Arthur at full speed, spearing him straight into the floor!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpXwu7OtYx

THUD!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0vdUuWeRG

ROLL. ROLL.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4TTtk1P1c

They tumbled across the floor, hands locked over the frame of the gun.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZDEpJXM4u

Hanabi scrambled to her feet.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQyjqbtZ5F

THUD!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh10TrcSY7r

Arthur forced his weight onto P, pinning him to the floor.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsgPFoy9co

TP.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKXUdOBhxS

Arthur threw a heavy left fist directly into P's face.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KbvFYLAYF

WHACK!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdj3TmhY9f

The concrete cracked under P's head, but P refused to let go, tightening his left hand around Arthur's wrist like a vise.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOzu1Ns7U6

GRIP!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvWpkpdQYn

SNATCH!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tTYyOGEiZ

Arthur tore his arm free with a surge of energy and discharged a round—

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcVOAYuro4

BANG...!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTlNO9B5wP

The bullet sailed through the air toward Hanabi, who was just regaining her balance.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7NDWOi1UK

Before the round could travel past Arthur's radius—

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx95kjLPtsi

WHISSSH.......

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMIk8rUV8r

P's right hand shot up, catching the bullet mid-flight.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RioUhChCq

Pt.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGHdiKnssM

GRAB.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnacGOMCZsD

Without hesitating, P drove the bullet straight into Arthur's left kneecap!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7r0i0wr7W

Pt.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bf6OqGuXn

"Argh—!" Arthur shrieked in pain.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT7VyDEINT

P grabbed Arthur's leg, using his entire body mass to roll Arthur over and pin him to the floor.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkctGTlrrCm

THUD!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8LusMxWpW

P knelt heavily on Arthur's armed hand, locking it to the ground.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowA5Ian4YO

GRAB!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU87kXAugin

P clamped his left hand around Arthur's throat, raising his right fist and raining blows onto Arthur's face until the floor fractured beneath his skull.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ABTatcVlF

WHACK!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi57mmkwB3

WHACK!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV2vB5LaYo

CRACK....

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9uVuENA3B

P turned his head toward Hanabi. "What are you doing?! Get out of—"

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY8mB3WRcB

Before he could finish, Arthur's left hand began crackling with red sparks.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvp1qiyC5b

WHIIISSH....

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1OgSuwxht

BZZT.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7EDUIL7my

FLASH!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAeqK0Kn94

BOOM!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y3jqKOs4t

A sudden explosion of crimson energy blasted P backward, launching him straight through the casino's high windows and out into the night.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7vHrxppiQ

CRASH....

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR17ehUWTvO

THUD!

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX8QzscEmz

Arthur pushed himself up, pivoting to his right to fire at Hanabi, who was already sprinting up the stairs toward the floor above.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu093enGSx

TAK. TAK. TAK.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK3e8jCzis

CLICK. CLICK.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYCRIixNl3

Arthur pulled the trigger, but the gun clicked empty. His vision flickered with red static.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6uzSEcYIg

"Argh...!" Arthur grunted in frustration, tossing the empty gun aside.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKj9R2wcXB

He then started his chase for Hanabi.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqWd9TWpTA

TMP. TMP.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkh5Fx6YM8

TMP. TMP.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrXHhOUlcB

Tsk, I'm not as fast as I was before... I can't keep up with her because I used up all my divinity on that disgusting monkey... Argh! Arthur fumed internally.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYsAB4HFlw

"Hanabi, stop! I just protected you! Why are you running?!" Arthur called out as he climbed.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv5ttABHuO

STEP. STEP.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VvSidD6pW

Arthur reached the upper landing just as Hanabi reached the far end of the floor.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WjWADvjCA

"I'm not stupid... I know what I saw!" Hanabi shouted back over her shoulder.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTVUIIGZVC

"Tsk" Hissed Arthur.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGDdiX2TNd

TAK. TAK. TAK.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURdFksIoVA

Hanabi bolted toward the curved stairwell on the right side of the second floor, which led directly up to the main hall on the first floor.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtbiM3MT0s

TAK. TAK.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLMLzwIo2D

TMP. TMP.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YSkmi2FsM

Arthur pursued her relentlessly.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsdY5Huo7W

Meanwhile, in the dark alleyway outside the casino's front entrance—

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8ZSstLNbd

STEP—

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD4OaQCXik

CRNSH...

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7YVjs5nkq

A boot stepped onto the bed of shattered glass covering the pavement outside.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXRkTl9fdK

"Haa...." P sighed

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB6NrHLcKJ

TAK. TAK.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFzK1GiKJG

TAK. TAK.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4CdZ9TVXS

"Haa... haa..." Hanabi panted, bursting through the heavy door into the main first-floor area.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSWNNvEeUw

CREAK..

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJgdTtwPjL

The panicked murmurs of the crowd sheltering on the first floor gradually quieted down as they saw her.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquCKfvQXJM

MURMUR... MURMUR...

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QamZ46SRO

"It's just a girl..."

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEIvOxp0lj

"What's happening down there...?"

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dM4XBmsRM

"Keep quiet..."

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnIoIMvvNq

"Is it over...?"

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiEV1lm0Wi

"Oh my God..."

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E4ofeLXYs

TAK. TAK. TAK.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIp5BNvqeX

Hanabi pushed her way into the dense crowd.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXe93BYzPJ

"Ma'am, are you okay?" asked a security guard, reaching out to place a hand on her shoulder.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbN7JF766S

SHFF.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRfyHIWFs0

Hanabi brushed his hand off without stopping. "I'm fine..." she said, quickening her pace.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj4fmH1qSd

TAK. TAK.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz2Z8rQyVg

TMP. TMP.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKJHc5bsGO

Arthur pushed through the double doors onto the first floor behind her.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyCetNkroG

His eyes scanned the room, ignoring the nervous stares of the crowd.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpboDdgXnIZ

TAK. TAK.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoxKulgpIg

TURN.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqevWvdoSQ9

TAK.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26UNInswnO

Hanabi glanced back through the crowd and spotted Arthur instantly. Her eyes widened.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zw1pFBVQC

The security guard who had approached her noticed her panicked expression as she turned and hurried away into the crowd toward his left.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauHRjWEt0t

TAK. TAK. TAK.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WR31ar1XT

The guard turned toward his right, his eyes locking onto Arthur, who was moving swiftly through the hall with singular focus.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYenPPPiLkt

STEP.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LPWgLpYh5

PUSH.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6cR7DcIKF

"Hey...!" a woman complained as Arthur shoved past her.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEAOZ2Gnun

"Get out of the way—" Arthur growled.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGWZCGayOI

STEP. PUSH.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS0jeRFUMr

"Hey, watch it!" a man grunted.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsk652vHvq

Arthur forced his way through the guests, shoving anyone in his path.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx95bK8fBJh

The security guard's eyes narrowed.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQgTm7Fcgu

MURMUR... MURMUR...

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP75hIUHva

STEP. STEP. STEP.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhN2ilH4vG

The guard maneuvered through the crowd to intercept Arthur.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaEY4DBhp8

TAP.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGeVpmgCsx

CLENCH.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafQ1WURxog

He unclipped the holster on the left side of his tactical belt, resting his palm on the grip of his gun on the right.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRStOyefMJk

STEP. STEP.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fckje1G3S

Arthur strode forward, completely oblivious to the guard closing in on his flank.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgxHmUtEla

They were less than a meter apart.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSZIcgGO3D

"Excuse me, sir—" the guard began, pushing past a patron. "Pardon me—"

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiXUkk81rQ

Suddenly, a guest stepped between them, briefly blocking the guard's line of sight.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJXwc4vgmh

WHOOSH..

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cGDo74rs3

The guard's eyes widened.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM2Rlgu88H

Arthur had vanished from view. But as the guard turned to his left, Arthur materialized directly in front of him, reaching out and pulling the guard's head in like a sudden embrace.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTcJADJq1W

CLICK.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkkXHKXDy5

The guard's eyes dilated in terrifying shock as Arthur pressed the barrel of a stolen pistol under his chin.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4lndRVUEM

PURT.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKsr40bFMl

PURT.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lyP4tDcgO

Arthur fired three times through the guard's jaw, then let the body collapse to the floor.

SHFF.

STEP.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobCcMqjw3g

Arthur stepped over the security guard as blood pool spread across the floor tiles.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHAUmmSPBy

Panic immediately erupted through the first-floor hall as guests caught sight of the body.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VLIe7h2g0

"Oh Jesus-" a woman gasped in shock.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqkmTe2GYD

MURMUR... MURMUR...*

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0dhUUbIkJ

DRIP....*

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP3nCM7jcx

The guard lay motionless, his face resting in the pool of blood. His sidearm was gone.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OWCusQjbt

MURMUR... MURMUR...

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdHsYXT51l

He could hear the shouting and echoing from the other side.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNUFk4GzkY

P pushed the door open.
