Both men stood frozen in their fighting stances.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAcHjgTIMkCv

297Please respect copyright.PENANAnOxMaJ2Rt7

297Please respect copyright.PENANAwd0DKm6qCE

The room fell silent. Hanabi watched the two men facing each other, her mind completely blank as she looked at the criminal and then turned her gaze to the passenger, a small spark of reliance finally appearing in her eyes.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAKdNFV4E5ds

Then, without warning, they moved.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAJMPNhk9M4j

297Please respect copyright.PENANA3Fpr3753XV

297Please respect copyright.PENANAfj6jUl4LPy

Both fighters lunged forward at the same time.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAQszYgyKMhy

The lead guard threw a powerful right punch toward the unknown passenger's face. The passenger raised his right arm and blocked the strike, immediately countering by driving his knee toward the guard's stomach.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAAsySPYhTRk

297Please respect copyright.PENANAQjg5MSHOp3

But the guard reacted instantly.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAmUHq9V1xiw

297Please respect copyright.PENANAkBplBrzZmi

297Please respect copyright.PENANAnEiRDiCbUN

Instead of retreating, he shifted his body sideways, falling toward his left while catching the passenger's incoming leg with his hand. Using the passenger’s momentum, he pulled upward and launched himself into the air, twisting his body horizontally.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAWb80PnD2Tu

297Please respect copyright.PENANAls9xB4vSkg

BAM!

297Please respect copyright.PENANAJBaAQsg5zZ

297Please respect copyright.PENANAhzLYhIbhsp

297Please respect copyright.PENANAUAW0qpAySs

His kick crashed into the passenger's chest, forcing him backward.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAS7JTHGSyCK

297Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ9pGijYxF

297Please respect copyright.PENANAqp0yegb1kl

Hanabi's eyes widened.

297Please respect copyright.PENANA4LpY4UM4aP

297Please respect copyright.PENANAezPZFRp4l6

297Please respect copyright.PENANA7wET36JCcm

But the passenger didn't fall.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAk7MlfYaSEd

297Please respect copyright.PENANAvoUrbpTNo4

297Please respect copyright.PENANAuDQAXdksrd

His feet slid across the concrete for only a moment before he regained his balance.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAO5qDSC4BFw

297Please respect copyright.PENANAsxQm6zXjhY

297Please respect copyright.PENANAAKHhDxnJrL

The lead guard landed smoothly and immediately advanced.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAYmZThuUoUS

297Please respect copyright.PENANAFhMVThXWzC

297Please respect copyright.PENANAnPKn4opCGf

One step.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAP1M3kA9lzc

297Please respect copyright.PENANAAVclb9S87F

Two steps.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAifCyQT4jHr

297Please respect copyright.PENANAlR5WlIShVw

Three.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAIgwPpRkmBF

297Please respect copyright.PENANAXPnKm109Hi

297Please respect copyright.PENANAMTWrbzE7SC

Then he stopped.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAmgUVW7fFHZ

297Please respect copyright.PENANAYHg01P2SFe

297Please respect copyright.PENANATgllqES469

With his right foot forward and his left leg slightly behind, he raised his hands and slowly brushed them together, almost like he was casually dusting something off.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAtfT7Qi3hLu

297Please respect copyright.PENANArSByy05ZeI

The unknown passenger simply watched him. With a small smirk on his lips, he raised his left hand slightly, signaling the lead guard to come at him.

297Please respect copyright.PENANA85movBR1PJ

297Please respect copyright.PENANAkgyDV7SgJc

The lead guard charged toward him and jumped, spinning to deliver a back left kick. But the passenger weaved beneath the kick to the right.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAOQD2ff5IWD

297Please respect copyright.PENANAnQ8GOciqom

297Please respect copyright.PENANAbuKlB6eJT2

The lead guard landed on both feet and made a slight left turn, blocking his head with his right elbow, fully expecting a punch or kick to the head. But the passenger grabbed his shoulders, pulled himself up and toward the lead guard, and drove a very hard knee strike into his back—breaking a rib on his back.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAVaFJsPFS06

297Please respect copyright.PENANAaTpGcZsxef

297Please respect copyright.PENANAesHE6djHbA

The force pushed him several steps forward. He barely gained his balance, bent over and holding his back in pain. It was as if his spine had been hit with a heavy steel baseball bat, almost bringing tears to his eyes.

297Please respect copyright.PENANADcUP5K5qL9

297Please respect copyright.PENANAvdLVWrCphb

He turned his head backward to his right. He was furious, his eyes turning blood-red with rage.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAentWIa0YAj

297Please respect copyright.PENANA9qpY8MNJ9U

The unknown passenger stood and glanced at the lead guard nonchalantly, looking down on him and gazing at his broken back. But it looked like the man could still fight.

297Please respect copyright.PENANASeBA3wUtgI

"You bastard," the lead guard said angrily as he cracked and straightened his back, forcing himself to continue fighting while enduring the agony. He turned toward the passenger and stood firmly. "I'm gonna kill you."

297Please respect copyright.PENANAaA7kqC0Vie

"And how're you gonna do that?" the unknown passenger said. He took a steady breath, placing his right leg slightly forward and his left leg backward, raising both hands to signal for him to come. "Let's end this."

297Please respect copyright.PENANA6kB40HBnOi

297Please respect copyright.PENANACuQFeWsadv

"Today you die," the lead guard said calmly, his voice dripping with pure rage. With an angry face, he pulled a dagger into his left hand in a menacing way.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAMo8K8eiezj

297Please respect copyright.PENANA7i4it4vd3w

297Please respect copyright.PENANApX2FhDVxFy

297Please respect copyright.PENANAwyBI9QhDnx

Suddenly, the lead guard pulled out another dagger with his right arm.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAZN9QWWQAJr

297Please respect copyright.PENANAKs3rCY0GSR

The unknown passenger's eyes immediately widened a fraction, locking into a serious, lethal mode as he gazed at the twin daggers. The lead guard was breathing heavily with anger, but otherwise, the room was dead silent.

The space remained calm and quiet for a tense moment as Hanabi watched, her head turned fully toward her left side.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAcBZBbjkXfF

297Please respect copyright.PENANA8V6YO1SeDj

They both charged. The lead guard rushed forward, screaming, and it seemed the passenger became a bit annoyed by the noise. The guard lunged, driving his left hand downward to stab straight into the passenger's chest from above, while lifting his right hand to gut him from below.

297Please respect copyright.PENANABs9VwV2TNK

He swiftly weaved out of the way, but the tip of the left dagger caught him, slicing a small cut across his right cheek. Capitalizing on the dodge, the passenger slid downward, diving straight between the lead guard's legs. He clamped his hands around both of the guard's ankles and pulled with immense, forceful strength.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAX08eT3bi0t

The lead guard slammed face-first onto the concrete floor with incredible force, his weapons clattering away as he lost his grip on both daggers. The impact shattered his nose, and a small stream of blood began spilling from his mouth and nose onto the cold tile. He tried to lift his face, forcing his trembling body up to keep fighting, but he had become too weak. His vision was turning blurry, and his limbs felt completely numb.

297Please respect copyright.PENANA5vevkTeBSL

297Please respect copyright.PENANAhosIizHZtz

In that exact split second, the unknown passenger scrambled up onto the back of the dazed guard, flipped him over onto his back, and wrapped his forearms securely around his neck.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAn3apFpnkXQ

297Please respect copyright.PENANApJ8tZBqJV7

297Please respect copyright.PENANAL7Oj26imFD

The lead guard tried desperately to resist with both hands, but his strength was completely spent. He could only claw weakly at the passenger's iron forearms, hitting them in a slow, tired rhythm while making choked, desperate gasping noises.

"You know, you're a pretty good fighter," the unknown passenger muttered coldly as the criminal struggled for his life beneath him. "But I can't waste any more time with you since there are more of you outside. I have to end you quickly."

The passenger tightened his grip, applying maximum pressure to finish the execution, until his head turned slightly forward.

And then his eyes suddenly widens when it locked with Hanabi's eyes.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAoOvkMqX8f4

297Please respect copyright.PENANAu4OtyDBudw

297Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ2yfsb6rL

The moment they made eye contact, Hanabi quickly snapped her head back to face forward as she was frozen her eyes on the ground which she spots one of the dagger that the criminal losed ahead of her.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAxLMr5fgJMz

297Please respect copyright.PENANA3g2FLDo5Z0

The passenger paused, glancing down at the choking guard’s face. A serious expression washed over him, his eyes reflecting a sudden decision.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAZnwekgOYM0

297Please respect copyright.PENANAZUeNmyanEZ

297Please respect copyright.PENANAsZeS2YFO10

He abruptly released his locked arms from the guard's throat. Reaching up, he drove both of his thumbs forcefully into the sides of the lead guard's skull, piercing a high-pressure nerve point.

297Please respect copyright.PENANARef06xMsTi

297Please respect copyright.PENANAg2jgIqW7uW

297Please respect copyright.PENANAM1HsI9p5JI

The lead guard's eyes widened, his mouth flying open in a silent shock. His raised hands went completely limp, hitting the ground with a dull thud as he passed out cold.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAQb5C2a4vlk

297Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ez8PmdYzJ

297Please respect copyright.PENANAUPryYZdmKY

The passenger pushed the unconscious body aside and stood up, rolling his shoulders. Beside him, Hanabi remained sitting rigid in her chair, facing straight ahead, her eyes filled with a racing, desperate question: What is going to happen to me next? But then her eyes suddenly got serious with a desperate thought she had to survive and locked in while gazing at the dagger. All she could hear now was steps of the unknown passenger approaching from behind her. The unknown passenger walked towards her slowly while glancing at the chains tied against her hands behind the chair.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAAEZRAoZYxp

297Please respect copyright.PENANAvNhpH9Zwh1

297Please respect copyright.PENANALxFb96oFcr

STEP STEP STEP which followed with a clattering sounds of chains behind her. She tilted her head backward a very bit immediately she heard this it was the unknown passenger setting her free.

297Please respect copyright.PENANA4T6BcfZRr7

297Please respect copyright.PENANA0oj81JmKGe

297Please respect copyright.PENANAJyVqvVWjxv

Immediately the chain loosened a glint of white sparkle lit on Hanabi's left eye end when she faced ahead as she locked in and quickly charged towards the dagger on the ground picking it and quickly turned and pointed out the dagger with her left hand with her left leg on the chair.

297Please respect copyright.PENANA8bejd1s7Bv

297Please respect copyright.PENANAnlPWwaLGx7

297Please respect copyright.PENANABINbKxq77H

While the unknown passenger who hadn't realized that was happening yet was raising his body up and then his eyes gazed at Hanabi's waist then towards up her face which had a serious look, her left arm was stretched out but he could only see half of it, Immediately he gazed downward he discovered her hand with a dagger was pointed towards his chin then he glanced back at her.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAqiP00nzcWP

297Please respect copyright.PENANAmHPRxXHwDT

"what are yo-" before he could finish his sentence as he raised both arms Hanabi immediately cut in.

297Please respect copyright.PENANAlaPgBZYzlL

"Do not say a damn word, I'm in charge now", said Hanabi said with a serious confident face. But the unknown passenger knew she was trying to act calm and composed like she isn't frightened. 297Please respect copyright.PENANA9vI1Tfgkgk
