498 Chapter: Catastrophe Flood_1

You might not believe it, but at the critical moment, the assassin bumped the hostage out of the way, saving them both from being crushed by the falling chandelier.

However, this was no ordinary accident.

Even though he reacted immediately, the falling chandelier still struck the assassin's left leg. A shard of broken glass, like a dagger, plunged into his ankle, and crimson blood seeped out, staining his suit pants.

The assassin seemed not to have expected to be injured. He glanced at his ankle in shock, feeling a stabbing pain. According to his calculations, he had just avoided the chandelier, so was he really that unlucky today to be hit by flying glass debris in the ankle?

The "accident" didn't give him a chance to catch his breath.

The loud crash as the chandelier hit the floor awoke the beast hiding within the room. Accompanied by a piercing scream, a mutated rat more than half a person tall, covered in fur as sharp as barbed spines, burst through the wall.
