"Chaisi!"
By the time Kai Luonan's furious roar rang out, it was too late.
Four consecutive bullets tore four sharp wounds through the rainy night. In an instant, they plunged deep into a human body, landing with a series of sickening, fleshy thuds.
Chaisi's body was nearly lifted off the ground, as if he might ride the bullets' kinetic energy high into the sky—but the next second, his frame crashed heavily back onto the concrete. The impact sent a spray of water into the air, shattering the lights and shadows.
The SUV didn't slow for a second. Once all four bullets had left the chamber and hit their target, the vehicle was already speeding away. It took a sharp turn and vanished around a street corner.
"Chaisi!"
Kai Luonan rushed forward and crouched beside Chaisi. His slightly clouded eyes were wide as he reached out to check Chaisi's pulse, then suddenly spun around.
"What happened?"
