Chapter 245: Old Friends

Chapter - 245

The door burst open as emergency care workers rushed into the smoke-filled room. Rick, still tucked down behind the counter, stayed low as the professionals quickly assessed the scene. His body was shielded from the worst of the explosion, but he remained hidden, watching as they moved.

One by one, they loaded the stretchers. Nine in total—each henchman bruised, bloodied, and majorly injured from the fight and the explosion.

His body showed moderate bruising apart from his previous injuries, and he was unconscious, likely knocked out from the force of the blast.
