Chapter 408: Sowing Discord

Eric's eyes, sharp and gleaming like a cat's in the dark, locked onto movement ahead. Without hesitation, he fired, the gunshot shattering the tense silence.

A bodyguard let out a scream, collapsing to the floor. The others froze, fear gripping them as the metallic scent of blood filled the air. The fallen man twitched briefly before going still, the life drained from his body.

Eric could hear their heavy breathing, a mix of adrenaline and growing terror. They were beginning to fear him. Sensing his advantage, Eric inched toward the passage exit. In one swift motion, he hurled a stun baton toward the cluster of men.

The group scrambled in panic, a flurry of movement as they fired blindly. Eric seized the moment, returning fire with precision. His bullets found their targets, drawing screams and chaos. Smoke and the acrid stench of gunpowder thickened the air.
