As soon as Miao Xiauyue's graceful presence faded over the horizon Desmond felt a strong air pressure behind him, completely relying on his superhuman instincts and reflexes Desmond quickly dodged to the side; He just finished dodging when the same sense of danger began to appear from all directions.
Desmond even had flashbacks for a moment of his escape from the military barracks a couple of months ago when he faced a fleeting hail of bullets on the way out, the difference was that on that occasion Desmond knew what he was up against and had prepared a suitable skill to deal with such an event not to mention that he was even wearing armor on that occasion.
Knowing that he was at a disadvantage Desmond took an alternative course of action ... apologizing, as it was not a stealthy super-assassin or anything else who was attacking Desmond but Mei who was looking at him with eyes full of fury and shame.
