The attacker's appearance was too sudden.
The dagger was already at Anxico's back within an instant but Kieran was faster.
Before the dagger even touched Anxico, Kieran landed a kick on Anxico's neck!
Grawk!
After the neck was broken, Anxico limped back on the sofa and a small dagger fell out of his sleeve; the attacker was stunned.
This wasn't part of their plan.
Shouldn't Kieran move forth and stop the attacker, therefore saving Anxico so he could counterattack at that moment?
Why would Kieran kick Anxico instead?
Confusion was erupting in the attacker's mind. However, no matter how confused the attacker was, it didn't stop Kieran from landing another kick on him.
Bang!
The kick landed on the attacker's head and with Kieran's intentional control, there wasn't any noises that followed before the attacker fell softly on the ground, absent of any signs of life.
