Chapter 45: Sudden Return, and Alessandro Carlos

The bodyguards were in too much of a rush and couldn't even stop in time. They had never expected an ambush to be waiting for them here either.

After all seven bullets of the Desert Eagle were fired, five people were sprawled all over the stairs.

Luke quickly reloaded the gun and kept it pointed at the stairs.

He suddenly heard a clinking sound, before a round object flew at him from the corner of the stairs.

Luke had excellent eyesight, and his dynamic vision was strengthened thanks to his 20 points of dexterity.

Thus, the moment that object appeared, he clearly saw that it was a grenade.

At that discovery, he retreated and dove into a room. Behind him, there was a rumble and the burst of a shock wave which extended into the room.

Luke didn't stop once he was inside the room. He ran to the window and jumped out, instantly reaching the first floor.
