Cornered?

Waterfront District!

The Waterfront District was engulfed in chaos.

Flames roared through the streets, turning the sky into a hellish red.

Blood pooled in the gutters, and the acrid smell of smoke and burning wood filled the air.

Scattered debris and the wreckage of what once were homes and shops bore the marks of violent explosions.

Zhang Wei's eyes narrowed as he took in the devastation.

This was far from what he had anticipated.

He had sent his men here to secure the area, not to find it in such disarray.

"Did they encounter unexpected resistance?" he muttered to himself.

As he moved deeper into the district, the path ahead was strewn with bodies—some unconscious, others lifeless.

People fled in every direction, their faces masks of terror.

Zhang Wei advanced like a storm.

Those foolish enough to stand in his way were dealt with swiftly, a mere flick of his wrist sending them to the afterlife.
