Berry, who was at the far end, could be seen running, trying to help his boss. However, everything seemed to move slowly, and the bullet moved quickly. Then, as Ares blinked, he felt a heat sensation on his left shoulder.

Blood flowed from the open wound, forming a circular shape where the bullet had penetrated. It went through and hit the side of the stones. Ares instinctively grabbed his shoulder. His hand was immediately covered in blood.

Ares's eyes widened; for the first time, he felt the searing hot lead piercing his skin. It initially felt hot, then cold, and then turned hot again.

However, her work was highly effective and systematic.Many people found it odd that Ares chose an unremarkable woman as his secretary. Still, it didn't matter to Ares himself.

His face looked disheveled, and I could even see beads of sweat covering his forehead. The man's clothes were soaked to the point where I wondered if it had rained nearby, as his white shirt appeared as though it had been drenched. His once stylish haircut now looked messy.Out of reflex, I immediately removed the two small round objects from my ears while staring at him and asked, "Que (What?)"Upon hearing Spanish words from my mouth, the man seemed dumbfounded, his lips moving nervously in confusion.

Catalina said her condition would improve with rest, but the opposite happened. Catalina was attacked by a high fever and kept restlessly moving on the bed. Her body trembled, and she complained of feeling cold, despite me giving her two thick blankets. I even resorted to using cold water to cool her forehead and reduce the fever.
