Walter's gaze fell upon the gun in Alexander's hand, causing him to take a step back. A chuckle escaped his lips

The gloses its charm when you resort to such tactics.""Do you find pleasure in games?" Alexander inquired,
his voice as cold as steel."That depends on the game," Walter retorted, a smug lift of his eyebrow punctuating
his words. "If you're audacious enough to brandish a gun, why not muster the courage to end me? Right here, in

gaze.

Following his retort, Alexander delivered a swift kick, sending Walter sprawling a meter away. Walter lay on the
ground, where the rain had left the cobblestones slick with puddles and mud. His blood mingled with the muck,
staining his pristine white suit with large, crimson blotches.

After a moment, he pushed himself up from the ground and, unfazed by the filth, casually took a seat. Walter
turned to Quinn, instructing, "Quinn, lift the hem of your pants and take a look."
