Chapter 1069: Black
CLACK!
Dane slowly arched a brow, pulling the trigger once more when the loud bang didn’t pierce his ears. He tried again, but another clack caressed his ears. He slowly lifted his wide eyes, lips falling open.
It was empty.
"I was hopeful," Dominic whispered, making Dane’s breath hitch. "Bad habit."
The very moment Dane’s eyes fell on Dominic, a painful strike erupted in his abdomen. Dominic suddenly clasped Dane’s shoulder, pulling him down, and lifting his knee to strike his abdomen. A grunt escaped Dane when another blow hit the back of his head.
"Ugh!" Dane’s body shook as he felt his brain shake in his skull. Hunching in, he held his stomach and head to maintain his ground. But alas, before he could even recover and act on instinct, Dominic lifted his foot and swung it across his jaw.
"Ack!"
This time, Dane was tossed to the side and slid into the mud. He felt his jaw move as if it was dislocated, leaving him distraught for a moment. He lay on his side, grunting and coughing from the pain and the difficulty of getting up. He propped his elbow against the soft mud, pushing himself up to fight.
He could still fight.
