Bab 147: Killer Ghost

"Get the door!" Kieran told Elli as he rushed to the rusty door that led to the backyard.

The door could not be opened by regular means, but Kieran did not care.

Bang!

A hard kick landed beside the door’s handle, and the whole door flew out along with its frame.

Kieran’s Strength was already C- after the upgrades, and when he kicked, his Strength and Agility granted him a temporary +3 Rank, which meant that his kick was B- rank.

With such a powerful kick, a steel door would have easily been kicked down, let alone a wooden one.

Both the wooden door and its frame flew out in an arc and landed on the parterre.

Kieran’s attention was on Raul, who had fallen on the garden.

Raul, who was wrapped in a trench coat and bandages, was lying down against the ground, moaning in pain.

A dagger had been stabbed near his abdomen, and Raul was barely conscious from the attack and the fall. There was a dazed expression on his face as Kieran called his name.

"Raul, can you hear me? Raul!"
