Chapter 2571

Mario's men panicked for a split second before launching a desperate counterattack. Gunfire erupted all around, echoing through the warehouse.

Mario lay sprawled on the cold concrete, riddled with bullets. His eyes, wide and unblinking, stared up at Sean, even wider in death than Giles' had been.

Mario's vision blurred, but in that final moment, everything snapped into focus. All at once, he understood.
