Ace came out of nowhere to jump onto the location where the growling was heard in the bush. "Get the fuck out of my way, Joker!" He shouted at K as he teleported towards it.
As soon as their eyes saw that Ace showed up on the area, they immediately went to K's rescue and defense, worried that the House of Cards member might have something cooking up or something up his sleeves.
But Ace was not his usual cheerful and carefree self, instead, he was absolutely pissed off, like something had ticked his anger button like a switch.
He swung his sword and the leaves of the trees and bushes were cleared out with the force of his swing. What they saw was Heart writhing in pain on the ground, trying to cover up a massive gaping hole in her stomach.
