The hotel shuttle was parked at the back entrance.

George helped Isabelle into the van, but just as the door was closing, a hand grabbed it tightly. Suddenly, a sound from above–someone had jumped onto the roof of the car.
George moved quickly, kicking the hand on the door to force the person away. He shut the door forcefully and shouted, “Go!”
The driver started the engine.
The assassin on the roof appeared at the front of the car, pointing a gun at Isabelle through the windshield.
Frightened, the driver left the car and ran away.
George protected Isabelle and ducked to avoid the bullets coming their way. The windshield broke, scattering glass everywhere.
He snatched a blanket from the nearby seat, threw it over the windshield to block the shooter’s view, then jumped from the back seat to the front and kicked the assassin in the head.
The assassin jumped out of the car.
George quickly closed the driver’s door.
The assassin he had shoved earlier tried to open the back door again, but George locked it just in time.
While getting ready to speed off, a shadowy gun barrel emerged outside the window.
George leaned backwards just in time to avoid the bullet. The glass shattered, and the assassin outside punched through the broken window.
George lunged for the assassin’s wrist, intent on disabling it, yet the assassin deftly outmanoeuvred him.
Amidst the shards of the broken car window, the two engaged in a desperate struggle.
The tight space severely restricted George’s mobility, yet it also hindered the two assassins‘ offensive
manoeuvres.
In a sudden twist, the passenger door flung open, revealing an assassin wielding a dagger, instantly putting George in a precarious predicament.
The assassin near the driver’s seat had been armed with a gun, repeatedly trying to squeeze the trigger at George, but George refused to give him the chance.
Sensing the imminent attack from the assassin behind him, George pushed the hands of the assassin by the driver’s seat against the window, briefly immobilizing him. With a swift motion, he fired the gun in his hand, grazing his own shoulder as the bullet sped towards the assassin poised to strike from behind.
The assassin bent halfway into the car, facing cramped conditions. He couldn’t move fast enough to evade, yet he succeeded in sidestepping any lethal harm, as the bullet merely grazed his shoulder.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, George secured the passenger door and restarted the car, but his efforts were interrupted by the unmistakable sound of gunfire–a bullet had punctured the tire.
George promptly exited the driver’s seat.
His blows were intense, pinpointing crucial areas. While this assassin didn’t match the prowess of Shadowblade, he was undoubtedly a member of Dark Shadow. Despite his lesser skill, he outclassed the mercenaries from Melfrey by far.
The assassins prove to be a formidable opponent.
Their objective was Isabelle, and recognising George as a formidable opponent, they chose to cease investing any further time in him.
Hence, the assassin with a bullet lodged in his shoulder utilized his elbow to smash the rear window.
Simultaneously, as he was preparing to open the door, George braced himself on the shattered, glass- strewn hood, vaulted over from the front of the car, took a swift stride forward, and compelled the assassin, who was trying to open the door, to withdraw.
The assassin’s shoulder was wounded, and George persistently aimed for the injured area. When the opponent couldn’t match his pace, a smooth elbow strike forcefully landed on the man’s cheek, disorienting him and causing him to stagger backwards.
The assassin, grasping the gun, coughed up blood as he made his way closer to the car. His gaze fixed on the unconscious figure of Isabelle in the backseat. He raised the gun, ready to take aim.
In the crucial moment before he could fire, a hand appeared, seizing the assassin’s arm that held the gun. The bullet tore through the car window, and swiftly thereafter, George’s knee forcefully collided with the assassin’s abdomen.
As the man squirmed in agony, George deftly seized the gun from his grasp and, without a moment’s hesitation, pulled the trigger, aiming it at him.
However, with a click, the bullet was empty.
The pistol spun in George’s grip as he forcefully swung it towards the assassin. Swiftly deflecting the attack, he propelled the assassin’s head backwards with two decisive steps, slamming it against the wall.
George, with cold piercing eyes, took his foe’s life in no time.
With a swift motion, the rear door of the car flung open, revealing a glinting dagger raised high, poised to strike at the unconscious Isabelle’s throat.
