"Phew... Phew..."
As the tower in the Fourth District fell into chaos, Gerard went against the crowd and walked out.
He breathed heavily, his body trembling slightly, and his vision blurred, barely able to see the road beneath his feet. If it weren't for Bai Wei constantly instructing him "left and right" in his mind, he might have fallen over several times already.
He forced himself onward into an alley. After confirming that no one was around, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
By then, his right eye was nearly blind, accompanied by a pain sharp as needles, even more unbearable than when he had gouged out his left eye with a dagger back in Somo City.
"Am I going blind?" Gerard asked Bai Wei.
"Not yet," Bai Wei replied calmly. "That guy is just an ordinary person. Dealing with him shouldn't exact too high a price; you should soon recover."
Hearing Bai Wei's words, Gerard nodded without speaking further.
Still careless.
Bai Wei sighed inwardly.
