Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 432: I just killed you once

BANG!

"What the hell are you doing?!" one of Zoren's bodyguards smacked his partner's head. "You almost shot me, you fool!"

The other man, who had accidentally fired the gun, laughed awkwardly. "Sorry, sorry. I forgot it was loaded," he apologized, quickly emptying his pistol to avoid any more accidents.

He hadn't meant to fire, but the sound of the shot brought others rushing toward them.

"What was that?!" Mark slowed his pace as he arrived, noticing that no one was fighting.

The first man glared at his partner while the other scratched the back of his head. "I'm sorry, Captain. I was just joking and forgot it was loaded."

"You forgot?" Mark snorted, resting his hands on his hips. "You forgot?"

The two men lowered their shoulders and heads, already bracing themselves for a scolding. But before Mark could say anything, the sound of shattering glass grabbed their attention. Turning toward the noise, they saw a black panther sprinting toward them, followed by several colleagues who had appeared through the broken window.

"Ah, shit!" the man who had fired the gun hissed. "Looks like the black cat's in the mood for a fight, huh?"

"Take him down," Mark ordered solemnly, keeping his eyes on Renny. "Let's see how long you can last."

"Yes, sir!" The men nodded, showing no fear as they dashed forward to meet the panther.

Renny saw the two men rushing at him with such enthusiasm that he felt obliged to match it. He picked up its speed, but at the last second, he sidestepped, throwing them off balance. When one of the men stumbled, Renny charged at him.
