Bab 176: The Last Stretch

The moment Stanley saw the other person in the hallway, time slowed down for him while he felt a calmness wash over him. At a time when nothing but he alone could move, he had a while to think over everything.

The guard that had just arrived had shot at him previously, which he had seen coming. He had dodged it as a result, even putting the first guard in the crossfire killed him.

Now that he was back, he stared at the man that attacked him. 

It was a guard with leaner features than the first one, as well as a cybernetic modification done to a part of his face. 

Stanley recognized him. This was the guard that was known for kidnapping young girls, selling them, and forcing them into a life of prostitution.

Stanley cared not for this man enough to even waste a word on him.

He pulled out his gun even as the man in front of him was already close to pulling the trigger and shot.

He moved to the side and let the time flow back to normal.
