If someone asked Claudia whether a shabby little pistol could take down more than a dozen enemies armed with submachine guns, she would have answered without hesitation that it was absolutely impossible—until the thugs before her began dropping one after another.
Bang, bang, bang—bang!
The last to fall was the jeering thug leader... His gaze was savage, and he seemed unable to believe it.
Claudia's entire body trembled slightly. Perhaps she was simply too frightened; she still held her gun pointed at someone... The pistol was aimed at Luo Qiu, yet she seemed not to notice. Instead, she swallowed and said in a trembling voice, "They... they're all dead... But, but I didn't fire!"
She really hadn't fired... Well, aside from the first accidental shot at the beginning, none of the sudden gunshots had come from her shabby little pistol.
Everything had happened as quickly as lightning.
"I know." Luo Qiu reached out and lowered the pistol in Claudia's hand slightly. "It wasn't you."
"Then...?" Claudia froze. She suddenly realized something and immediately looked toward the direction from which the thugs had come.
At that moment, two figures slowly emerged from the shadows. Claudia took a closer look and discovered that they were Aliyah and the mysterious Mr. Otto!
They were both holding firearms... It turned out that they had hidden in the darkness and shot down all the thugs!
"You... Hadn't you already left? Why did you come back?" Claudia frowned as she looked at Aliyah.
"What can I say? I'm a man of my word." Aliyah looked unconcerned. "Since I took Otto's money to bring him into the desert, I naturally have to get him safely out of the desert too. I only went outside to find some equipment. How could I just leave?"
Claudia didn't believe him
