In an instant, the crowd fell silent. The burly man's eyes narrowed, his drunkenness quickly dissipating as he asked, "You must be Micah?"

Micah did not bother with words. He fired the first shot, barely missing the burly man, which only fueled his anger.

The man shouted, "What are you waiting for? Kill him!"

But Micah and Mr. Joker moved with such elusive speed that the attackers could not track their movements. Growing increasingly desperate, the burly man gritted his teeth, finally spotting Micah and taking aim.

A twisted smile spread across his face. He was about to rid himself of this nuisance once and for all. But just as he pulled the trigger, someone threw themselves in front of Micah.

The bullet tore through her body, splattering blood everywhere.

Freya's body went limp, and Micah quickly caught her, simultaneously shooting the burly man with deadly precision.

Freya looked up at Micah, a faint smile on her lips. She felt content to die in his arms.

Micah, however, gripped her shoulders tightly. "Freya, you're such a fool! I won't allow you to die, do you hear me? If you die, I won't remember your kindness, I won't feel guilty... and I won't mourn you for the rest of my life! Don't even think about it!" Micah despised owing anyone a debt. He had made his feelings clear to Freya, but she had not listened. Now, with her lying in his arms, how would he ever repay this debt to her if she died?

Freya gave him a bitter smile, feeling her strength fade. But nestled in Micah's arms, she felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and peace.
