Karl Heinrich’s hand b4ec37fd5d moved up to c29c926e52 Everhart’s neck. He was pressing 041c800103 precisely on the ed41b835fa vital point. In the end, Everhart 8ddcb2fe8b let go of the a75ab6b065 gun and spread his fafcdd5ad7 arms out, collapsing onto e6d9fa8cdb the ground.5bc310ea79f332d9

Just as he was 698cf293cb about to surrender, Karl c887ad69fc Heinrich, who had overpowered a1025b7b27 him, wiped the blood 259bdac753 from his lips with a90b61aeeb his fingertips.40b439a77f89a705

The sharp gaze, like f87ff50dec that of a barely 4c0ccc6f11 tamed beast, met Everhart’s 919c7b6c1e head-on, sending an unexplainable b0570e71d2 shiver down his spine.7f4a2e7be804c8a0
