In Beloris, if you were one of the big shots, guns were nothing new–but you never, ever flashed them in front of regular folks. Solvaria was dead serious about gun control, and Grady had made such a scene that even the government people saw it. Now that the officials caught him in the act, there was no easy way out of this mess.

Soon enough, the cops arrived, packing bulletproof shields and live firearms.

One of the officers shouted, “Don’t move!”

Grady quickly realized he’d been set up–someone had slipped that gun on him on purpose.

The only person who’d gotten close to him was that waitress. He wasn’t used to being treated like this–back in Raventon, nobody dared mess with him.

“Damn it! You bitch! You think you can play me?” he yelled.

He raised his gun, but the cops were quicker.

The ordinary folks at the scene were screaming in terror–most of them had only seen gunfights on TV before, never in real life. Those with nerves of steel didn’t waste any time, they whipped out their phones and started filming, then blasted the footage all over online platforms.

Grady took a bullet to the shoulder, but he refused to back down. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to aim and fired straight at the waitress.

The waitress was so terrified she passed out cold, and by pure luck, the bullet missed her.

Seeing Grady still firing, the cops didn’t hesitate—they unleashed a barrage of bullets.

When someone was waving a gun around and threatening people’s lives, there was no time for questions–the police just pulled the trigger and ended it right there.

Grady was hit by over a dozen rounds, shock and disbelief swirling in his eyes as he slowly collapsed to the floor.

The government official next to Charles let out a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat off his forehead. “Thank God he’s dead. Imagine if a guy like that was still loose–who knows what kind of chaos he’d bring. Mr. Sinclair, are you alright?”

Charles chuckled quietly, catching Grady’s lifeless, wide–eyed stare out of the corner of his eye–clearly, the man hadn’t gone peacefully.

Charles’s lips tilted in a faint, almost ironic smile. “Honestly, I’m a little shaken. In broad daylight, out in the open, someone actually had the guts to pull a gun.”

The official gave a weary sigh. “He got what was coming to him. Let the cops take it from here. This way.”

The group slowly walked away.
