“Bang!”
A sharp pain pierced Nathaniel’s heart, and he looked down to find that he had been shot.
Nathaniel’s heart was pierced by a bullet, and the blood instantly dyed his whole body red.
The pain brought by the bullet spread throughout Nathaniel’s body.
With shock, he turned around.

Her eyes were devoid of warmth and full of indifference, betraying her cruel and cold-blooded nature.
He struggled to find the words to ask, “Why… Why?”
His eyes turned red as he desperately tried to get closer to her and see her.
As he took two steps, a sudden dizziness overcame him. His vision was stained with scarlet blood until he could no longer see the figure in front of him.
“Boss?” Sonny called out.
“Boss!”
Nathaniel slowly regained consciousness as Sonny called out to him.
“Boss, we’ve arrived. We need to take this path to avoid being discovered,” Sonny said urgently.

Nathaniel blinked and instinctively looked down at his heart.
His heart beat vigorously inside his ribcage.
The pain he had experienced in his dream felt too real to ignore.
