Kai stood still for a moment, letting the weight of realization settle in his mind.
Without bring told he knew this wasn't just a fight against corrupt individuals; this was a system, a deeply rooted web of lies, power, and control. His comrade's death was no accident—it was a warning, a message to anyone who dared to dig too deep.
As Kai scanned the area, he felt an eerie sensation, like unseen eyes were observing him. He turned slowly, his piercing gaze sweeping across the street. People were going about their business, but something felt off. Were they watching him? Or was paranoia creeping in? He forced himself to stay calm, his expression unreadable, but his mind raced.
