Coolest Girl in Town

Narissa's opponents were heavily armed and they used that to their advantage, leaving her with no room to do anything other than dodge behind the racks and shelves as she tailed them from a distance.

"Trying to get away? You won't be escaping that easily!"

They had reached the exit and were about to get into the vehicle that was waiting for them, so Narissa couldn't hesitate any longer. She picked up a brick and threw it at the person who was firing the most bullets at her.

He was hit in the head and fell unconscious at once. Narissa rushed out and rolled on the ground to grab the gun before firing shot after shot at Stenson's car.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bullets made contact with the car. She was completely focused on firing at the car that she didn't notice someone aiming a gun at her from behind.

"Damn it! It's bulletproof glass!"

Narissa didn't think that Stenson would be as vigilant as he was. Even after she had emptied the gun's barrel, the car was merely dented.

She watched in frustration as the car sped off and threw the gun on the ground with so much force that it was half-buried.

Just then, a gunshot rang out behind her.

Bang!

The moment Narissa heard the sound, she felt a bullet whizzing past her right ear.

At the very next second, the bullet shot through the tree in front of her, leaving behind a gaping hole.

That was so close!

Thank goodness he missed, or else, it'd be my head that was sporting that hole now.
