Chapter 56 - The Silent Reckoning

Lusweti and his men split into three distinct teams, each one tasked with a critical objective. The operation had to be swift and silent. They were deep in enemy territory, and every second counted.

Lusweti himself chose the most dangerous route—the streets. There, he would cleanse the filth that walked freely, the mercenaries who brutalized innocents without a second thought. Though fury burned in his chest like molten lava, he locked it deep within. Now was not the time. The streets would run red, but not from recklessness.

He crouched down beside the group of young tunnel runners—the kids who'd bravely helped them navigate this twisted underbelly of Kilwa. "Stay here, hidden," he whispered. "What comes next is chaos. But we will return."

Their eyes, wide and uncertain, nodded back silently. Even the smallest among them held a deep understanding of the danger that brewed in the air.
