His breathing began to lengthen and become steady, his gaze turning absolutely focused.
Lin Yu'an and Stan were on his left and right, guarding him like two silent protectors.

His index finger gently and tenderly rested on the cold trigger.
Then—
"Bang!"
A crisp yet muffled gunshot instantly shattered the peace of the high mountains! The bullet, carrying the old man's lifetime of dedication and promise, tore through the three hundred meters space, whistling away!
