"Senior Brother, I could escort them to Young Master Ken's house, it'd be safer if they had one more guard by their side."
One guard suggested to the leader. After pondering on it for a moment, the leader nodded and sent him with them, "You're right, go with them."
"Yes, Senior Brother," the guard bowed and hurriedly followed Ken along with Jake and Max.
"Hello, Young Master, I'm Elliot."
"Mhm."
Ken only offered a hum in response and continued walking, wondering whether Eliott was the final assassin or if there were more to come. Elliot's way of approaching him seemed lousy in his opinion, but maybe it was only because he expected the next assassin to show themselves soon.
*BOOM*
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
The first explosion happened and three others soon followed in a delay of less than a second. Max, who walked in the vanguard to protect Ken from potential traps got caught in the first one and was torn to shreds, getting killed on the spot.
