It looked like Juanjuan knew her weaknesses well enough. Was she trying to snatch the magazine and fight me with a firearm?
It wasn't as simple as you thought, Princess!
I pulled my hand back again. At the same time, two bullets popped straight out of the magazine, and I slammed my back against a wooden board.
Feeling the breeze coming through the gap between the boards behind me, I knew without a doubt that this was my wardrobe.
