Tindi rin ng armor nung SUV. It got hit squarely sa side pero nakatakbo pa and could still pass off as a car that just got fender-bendered.

Also, bakit kaya yung isang assassin nakatayo directly sa likod ng RPG? Isn't he aware of backblast? lmao

The hired hitmen were really much low-tier, likely amateurs looking for a quick payout and not being eventually destroyed, as it happened to them.
