Everything happened too quickly.
The rocket was actually targeting the armored vehicle where Rowdy Brightwill had taken cover.
Still, it would affect him.
When Rowdy Brightwill noticed the rocket, it was too late to react, but somehow a force suddenly pushed him forward.
As a result, he got shot twice.
Yet, he survived.
It was only two seconds later that he realized this.
A bullet hit his shoulder and abdomen, but there was no time for him to feel the pain. When the explosion rang in his ears, he only felt a flash of fire in front of him. At that moment, he didn't realize what had happened. When he fell to the ground, he caught a glimpse of Belinda Nichols, a fleeting figure, only catching sight of the edge of her garment before his view was obscured by the half-destroyed vehicle.
"Bang—"
Unbelievably clear.
Accompanied by the huge flames, the vehicle covered that figure.
In that instant, all Rowdy Brightwill could see in his eyes was the blazing fire.
