Chapter 575

Momentarily stunned, Quil quickly recovered, and a smirk made its way on his face. “Yes, she’s an outsider, but your mother-in-law isn’t, right?” He shifted the aim from Xena and was about to point it at Fiona—who was by the corner—to get her walking to him. Fane had anticipated as much. Faster than anyone could blink, he kicked hard once he saw the other party move the gun away. The pebble he kicked zipped through the air shot Quil’s hand that held onto the gun. “Ahh!” Quil felt a wave of extreme pain as though he was hit by a bullet, and his grip on the gun loosened by reflex. The aim shifted away from Fiona, but as the gun slipped from his hand, he accidentally pulled on the trigger. Bang! A gunshot was heard. The bullet shot Brother Octo at his chest, where his heart was. “Young Master…” Brother Octo’s head lowered ever so slowly to see the wound; blood was oozing like water. The man then fell backward as he breathed his last, and eventually, his breath left him permanently.
