As the gunshot echoed, Sophie felt a gust of wind rush past her ear, followed by a ringing that made everything
around her seem eerily quiet. To her relief, the bullet hadn't hit her. Colby, who had appeared from seemingly
nowhere, had already taken down the bodyguard, snapping his neck before Sophie could even register what was
happening.
"Bang!"
The gunshot was just a desperate, off-target attempt by the dying guard.

Sophie, muddled from inhaling too much gas, felt her mind drift. Her thoughts were a blur, her legs wobbly like

The memory was hazy, like something from a dream. The image of a young man, fleeting and surreal, danced in

In her haze, the castle's doors suddenly swung open.
Colby, his expression unflinching, fired his gun with precision. One shot, two shots, three shots... His cold,

should we leave any?"
Colby's face was a mask of icy resolve, his deep eyes gleaming with a cold intensity. "Leave none."
"Understood."
The gunfire resumed, echoing through the castle as Colby carried Sophie out, threading through the chaos of
battle.
In just a brief span of ten minutes, the castle was a maelstrom of bloodshed and violence.
Outside, Colby commanded, "Detain all the guests from today. | want to question each one personally."
