But unfortunately, he was facing an Ackerman.
It was already too late.
The fight had ended the moment Alice revealed herself.
"Bang!"
It was as if the crack of a whip sounded in the air.
Alice's body twisted with a flexibility that defied the laws of physics, and her right leg lashed out like a black venomous whip, carrying a fierce whistling wind.
AI Model: gemini-3.0-flash
A scorpion tail kick, so fast that not even an afterimage could be seen.
The heel of the shoe was like a chisel, striking with unerring precision at Kirill's right wrist joint just as he was about to draw his gun.
The sound of bone cracking was crisp and pleasant to the ear.
Kirill let out a scream of agony as his right hand instantly twisted at a bizarre angle.
The gold coin in his hand flew out, tracing a poignantly beautiful golden arc in the air, spinning as it reflected the white light from the ceiling.
Alice's left hand shot out like lightning, steadily intercepting the falling gold coin in mid-air.
At the same time, her right hand wasn't idle either.
She smoothly snatched up a heavy pipe wrench from the nearby workbench.
That solid iron tool, weighing several kilograms, felt as light as a plastic rod in her hand.
"Whoosh—"
The pipe wrench swung through the air in a semicircle of violent aesthetics, carrying suffocating wind pressure as it slammed hard into the side of Kirill's right knee.
The 1.9-meter-tall Russian brute collapsed like a building whose foundation had been demolished.
He fell heavily to his knees, the shattering of his kneecap instantly stripping him of the ability to stand.
The immense force even caused him to slide half a meter sideways after kneeling, crashing into the iron railing with a loud bang.
The entire process happened in a flash, taking less than two seconds.
By the time Kirill struggled to get up and resist, a cold utility knife was already pressed against his Adam's apple.
The sharp tip lightly pierced his skin, and a drop of warm blood slid down the cold blade, dripping onto his expensive custom suit and blooming into a dark red flower.
"Move again, and I won't mind giving you a free tracheotomy."
Her tone was devoid of any emotion, as if she were discussing the weather, but the bone-chilling killing intent gripped Kirill's throat like a physical force.
Kirill froze.
He didn't dare move, or even breathe loudly.
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, clearly feeling the terrifying sensation of the sharp blade pressed against his flesh with every swallow.
If the other person's hand shook even slightly, his carotid artery would erupt like a fountain.
"Don't kill me!"
Kirill begged for mercy, trembling, his previous ferocity completely gone.
At this point, the thugs and mechanics downstairs finally reacted.
The series of events had happened too quickly, and combined with the cover of the music, they only saw their boss suddenly drop to his knees.
It wasn't until they saw the dark shadow wearing a fox mask by the second-floor railing and the scene of their boss being held hostage that they erupted into chaos.
The thugs pulled out their Glocks one after another, and the mechanics grabbed wrenches and iron bars, shouting as they tried to rush up the stairs to save him.
"Don't move!"
Kirill roared at the top of his lungs, his voice cracking and turning shrill from fear and pain.
He felt the blade pressing down further in warning.
"Who the fuck dares to come up? I'll shoot them myself. Everyone, put your things down."
Kirill knew all too well that someone who could sneak up behind him silently and instantly disable his ability to resist was no ordinary robber.
If a single shot rang out downstairs, this utility knife would undoubtedly slit his throat without hesitation.
His life was quite valuable.
He couldn't just lose it like this.
Alice coldly scanned the area below.
