Quinlyn moved with swift precision, her small frame gliding like a wraith to the man’s side. With a sudden flash of light, she struck his wrist with unerring accuracy.

“Alf” The man screamed as the gun slipped from his grasp. He tumbled to the ground, convulsing, his peripheral vision catching sight of a group of people rushing towards him.

Despair flickered in his eyes, but somehow mustering strength, he grasped the gun with his other hand, aiming it at his own abdomen.

An officer a few meters away noticed this and his expression shifted. He shouted, “Get down Instantly, everyone rushing forward hit the deck and covered their heads.

Given the uncertainty of the explosive’s power, the safest course of action was to stay prone and minimize potential harm. However, the next second, another scream rent the air around them.

Quinlyn was now encircled by Joseph and Stanley, who were inspecting her for any injuries.

Stanley asked, “Did he hurt you when he grabbed you? How’s your head? Feeling dizzy?”

Joseph added, “Maybe you should go to the hospital for a check–up. That blow to your head didn’t look gentle
