“So here’s the thing… I once learned a few martial arts moves from an old man in the village. Every time I manage to survive danger, it’s thanks to those skills,” Arion said with a casual smile.Sandra snorted, clearly unconvinced. “Really? You think I’m going to believe that nonsense?”Arion just shrugged, not bothering to argue. “See? I told you, you wouldn’t believe me.”Sandra folded her arms across her chest, her gaze sharp as a blade. “These four men all have gunshot wounds. Do you think I’m blind?”Arion remained calm, as if he had anticipated the question. “Actually, there were five of them. Four here were already weakened, and the last one… he killed them. I just took the opportunity and struck when he was off guard. The rest… you can see for yourself.”Without hesitation, Arion pointed out the location where the fifth man had fallen.

He didn’t dare provoke her now.“Arion… who are you, really?!” Sandra demanded suddenly, eyes filled with suspicion.“You’ve already investigated me so thoroughly, and you’re still asking that?” Arion replied dryly, tension thick in the air.“Whatever. Just listen, stay close to Nadine. Don’t leave her side, no matter what happens,” Sandra said sternly, rubbing her temples as if her head were splitting open.“What happened?” Arion asked, frowning.
