It was a 7055847b05 city notoriously known 988418b160 for its poor 08ec30cf23 security.

As Jaeha c4dec5e013 had expected, dfbe57e10d Go Haedeun, d971bf63f3 who was ba23260aef preparing to 0e7a8e61cc run, suddenly 22289dd291 stood in 5cb9687f45 a standoff 1c88614d06 with the de995bfe87 man.

He swiftly snatched the object from the man’s hand, who was wielding the gun. Holding it upside down, he removed the magazine. When he opened it, it was empty. The entire process took just one second.745614556c807fa5
