In the Shadows of Oukiwa (Part 2)

On the night of the playoffs, everything else in Oukiwa except Uptown was as silent and empty as ever. The city stopped to watch the thrilling battles. Boats were forbidden to dock in the harbors, and the gates of the great walls were closed.

On the border between the poorer neighborhoods, dozens of Chaos Followers moved between the alleys, wearing the usual black cloaks to disguise their identities. Still, they seemed to be more nonchalant on this particular night than usual.

"What are you guys stalling for? Hurry up and load it up!" shouted a man who appeared to be the leader of a group pushing a wagon.

For the Chaos Followers, it didn't matter if any citizen would see them because even if the city guards were alerted, they wouldn't be able to react in time. However, if these occultists knew that an S-Class was staring angrily at them in an alley parallel to that street, they would surely change their minds.
