Chapter 285: Sabotage X Heroics (Part 14)

Meanwhile Elsewhere…

The rundown stash house behind the abandoned apartment complex on Prominila Road reeked of smoke, sweat, and stale booze. It was practically a forgotten place where only the desperate or dangerous dared linger. 

The cheap lounge inside was a pit of worn-out furniture, stained rugs, and old, patched-together walls. The large glass windows and doors were painted black, with sections haphazardly plastered with old newspapers, adding a layer of grimy secrecy.

Scattered throughout the space were members of the Hell Riders gang—grimy, restless, and simmering with quiet rage. Some sat on busted-up couches, their boots tapping against the floor, while others leaned against stained walls, idly smoking cheap cigarettes or picking at scruffy beards.

The silence was thick, heavy with unease.
