The gunshot rang out, and the room instantly fell silent; all Sun Jack could hear was the thudding of his own heart.
He took a deep breath, and still in shock, Sun Jack looked toward the direction the bullet had come from.
It was the air duct at the top of the left wall. He saw Si Ai and AA crouching there with a sniper rifle, waving at him through the wire mesh.
"Boss! We saw you were disconnected, so we came to help!!" AA skillfully dismantled the cage over the wire mesh and excitedly jumped down from the duct.
But before a smile could rise on Sun Jack's face, Steelheart, who had been motionless, began to slowly move.
"Do you think I'm an idiot? Would I expose my most vulnerable part so openly? Do you think mere anti-machinery, armor-piercing bullets can harm me?"
