A gunshot tore through the silence of the night. The deafening blast seemed to freeze everything around it.
The force knocked Matthew off his feet. He hit the ground, rolling uncontrollably several times as dust and dirt flew up around him. His clothes were covered in mud and grass.
Pain surged through his body. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he clenched his teeth and didn't make a sound.
The shooter clearly had no intention of letting Matthew go and pursued him relentlessly. His eyes were cold—like they could pierce right through Matthew. He raised the gun again, aiming straight at Matthew, ready to fire another shot.
Veronica was on her way back to her room when she heard the gunshot. Her heart skipped a beat as she wondered, 'Who would be so bold as to open fire in the Central District? It sounded like it came from the training grounds.'
Without hesitation, she picked up her pace. A deep sense of unease washed over her. She couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
What she saw next shocked her—a man in black holding a gun, firing repeatedly at someone who was rolling on the ground.
The gunshots echoed across the open training field. The man rolling on the ground seemed unable to dodge—he could only lie there as bullets tore through the air around him.
Veronica's nerves went taut. She instantly pulled out her handgun and, without hesitation, fired at the man in black.
She had never received formal firearms training. Joshua had given her the gun as a precaution, and she had never used it before.
But at this moment, she could only rely on her instinct and courage; she hoped that she could buy that man rolling on the ground even a sliver of time.
The man in black noticed Veronica. He grew more agitated and fired two more shots at Matthew.
Veronica's heart tightened. She fired twice more at the shooter.
The man in black sensed the danger too and immediately dove behind cover—a nearby target board.
Seizing the moment, Veronica sprinted to Matthew. She squatted down, shielded him behind her, and activated her defensive power.
A powerful energy surged from within her, forming an invisible barrier that enveloped both her and Matthew.
At first, she didn't realize who the injured person was. It wasn't until the person called her name through gritted teeth that she found, in surprise, that it was Matthew.
She was taken aback. She hadn't expected to see him here—especially not under such circumstances.
The shooter's eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn't expected someone to appear out of nowhere. Still hiding behind the target, he stared intently at Veronica and Matthew, as if weighing his next move.
Veronica cautiously turned on her holo-interface, wanting to inform others of the situation as soon as possible, but Matthew gently shook his head, signaling her not to.
Matthew hadn't been directly shot, but a bullet had grazed his arm, and the pain was nearly unbearable. Cold sweat poured down his forehead.
His voice was low and strained. "It's no use. I've already tried. The signal here's completely jammed. There's no way to reach anyone outside."
Veronica immediately realized that this wasn't just a random attack, but a carefully planned and executed ambush.
And the mastermind behind it was capable of blocking the signal across the entire training grounds. There must be a dangerous conspiracy backed by formidable forces.
After realizing that the signal was blocked, Veronica thought for a moment and quickly pulled out a small firework from her bag. Joshua had given it to her for emergencies. She hadn't expected it to come in handy so soon.
She carefully pulled the fuse of the firework and raised it high into the air. The firework flared up in her hand, lighting up the darkness around her with a brilliant burst of color. As it soared into the sky, her heart lifted.
Veronica watched the sparks bloom overhead, then turned to Matthew and said, "Joshua will see that and get here soon."
Matthew nodded and sighed in relief, thinking, "I let my guard down for a second tonight and nearly paid the price. It's true what they say—success always draws trouble."
Suddenly, a burst of footsteps echoed through the training grounds—quick and heavy, like pounding rain.
The man in black seemed to sense something was wrong. Realizing his plan had been exposed, he gave up on finishing the job and decided to leave through the other door.
He spun around and sprinted toward the half-open door, trying to slip away unnoticed amidst the chaos.
Right at that moment, Joshua arrived at the scene, rushing in with obvious urgency. He was filled with worry, as he thought Veronica was in grave danger.
When he saw Veronica squatting there safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, his tension easing quite a bit.
Before he could say anything, Veronica suddenly shouted, "Joshua! He's getting away!"
There was a sharp urgency and nervousness in her voice that snapped Joshua back into action. He scanned the area, and sure enough, spotted a man in black sneaking toward the door.
Without any hesitation, Joshua raised his gun, aimed at the man's leg, and decisively fired a shot.
As the gunshot rang out, the man in black screamed in pain. Shot in the leg, he instantly lost his balance and collapsed to the ground.
Clutching his wound in agony, he stared at Joshua in terror, trying to struggle to his feet and continue his escape.
However, Joshua swiftly approached him and pinned him firmly to the ground. He tied up the attacker with practiced ease and then hurried toward Veronica, his eyes filled with concern.
Once at Veronica's side, Joshua helped her up and immediately gave her a once-over, checking for any injuries. Only after confirming that she was unharmed did he heave a sigh of relief, a relieved smile appearing on his face. "Are you alright, Mistress?" he asked.
Veronica nodded, signaling that she was fine. She then turned to look at Matthew, who was lying behind her, her face marked with worry, and pointed to him, indicating that he was injured.
Joshua looked over and saw Matthew lying on the ground with a pale face, but he didn't show much panic. He snorted and said, "He'll live. I'll have someone take him to the hospital in a bit."
Veronica let out a long breath and finally felt a sense of calm. "Joshua, thank goodness you gave me that gun and the firework. Without them, tonight could've ended very differently."
Joshua finally felt calm enough to ask, "Mistress, what exactly happened? Why were you with Matthew? And why were you in danger?"
Veronica took a deep breath to steady herself and explained, "I was on my way back when I suddenly heard gunshots in the distance. I followed the sound to check it out, and then I saw Matthew under attack."
The force knocked Matthew off his feet. He hit the ground, rolling uncontrollably several times as dust and dirt flew up around him. His clothes were covered in mud and grass.
