The data chip remained hidden, a precious treasure close to her skin. Finally, the night of the third moon arrived. The city, bathed in its cool, ethereal glow, seemed to hold its breath. Anya navigated the twisting streets of District 17, her heart pounding against her ribs. She reached Midnight Alley, a notorious den of thieves and scavengers.

“Now you’ve got me intrigued.” My lips curved faintly. “Intrigued?” “How does a thief know how to navigate corporate negotiations and contract presentations?” I let out a quiet laugh. “Just because I’m a thief doesn’t mean I’m dumb.” I continued, “If anything, thieves are some of the smartest people alive.” That earned a quiet laugh from him, low and unexpected. “Is that so?” “Of course,” I replied. “You think stealing is easy? One wrong move and everything falls apart. You learn to think ahead and read people before they read you.”

Jade didn't bring money to buy anything, it depended on what the men she was traveling with were doing at the time. "I'm sorry, I have no money, I'm just traveling with this group of gentlemen." That old man was somewhat sad and walked off walking around the carriage, looking for whoever would give him some money. Jade noticed that the city was quite poor. She saw many people begging in the streets, plus the houses were in bad shape. One of the guards standing near her spoke to her. "You must stay in the chariot, do not talk to anyone. The city is full of thieves. There is a shortage of food, so you must be careful. What you did was dangerous."

“And like always, they found whatever few survivors and took them away. For what reason, I can’t tell. Maybe for interrogations. I don’t know… Does this mean that someone’s chasing after Ra’ventrii, too? Besides us?” “Or cleaning up after them,” said Orsethii. “How interesting.” ~ Thanatos loomed over the vast Imperial city below. Unlike the Einherjar’s usual targets, this one seemed more refined and more polished. Like a showroom version of an industrial city. Unlike the vast diaspora of the usual coral city, or the rigid beauty of a crystal city, this one was a kind of mix between the two. It was as though the city was populated with massive slabs of slate which jutted out of the ground in

There were chances of them rising to continue what their parents started. Peace reigned for many years after that. The pack boomed. The Alpha Rush declined. Well, until the moonstone was stolen. My boots crush the crystal ice-floor beneath me as I strut through the city, watching everything. My breath fogs at each exhale while I think of a way out of here. What lies beyond the city? More tasks? My body shudders, thanks to the cold. I pass by what seemed to be a whorehouse, and just by the entrance, there are frozen bodies of men and women.

she whispered. Rafael’s voice stayed low. “It’s also proof he’s alive.” The words settled in her like a thin thread of hope she didn’t want to touch too hard. --- Tharien moved through the city like a shadow that had learned to bleed. Every alley felt watched. Every reflection in darkened glass carried the echo of eyes. The rain slicked the pavement, turning neon into smeared color underfoot. He kept to the seams—service corridors, back stairwells, the forgotten spaces where the city exhaled.

A delicate hand slapped the gargoyle visage of the thief, “Name?” “I don't see how...” Aurelia cut the thief off and glared at him, “I have important questions and the answers won't mean anything unless I know you are being truthful.” “You'll have the city guards looking for me at the next opportunity, and I'll end up decorating a cell.” The thief blubbered. In an instant, Zinjo threw the man down and unleashed the partisan, “Perhaps a cell is better than a shallow grave?” The expression on the warrior's face left nothing to the imagination.

September Thorne is a name to be feared and complimented in the whole city. At a very young age, he was able to beat old and experienced businessmen. His empire just keeps on growing and growing as time goes by. He's just plainly unstoppable. It was like someone handed him a dull and rusty knife and now he was able to use this as a sharp and fear-consuming sword. He can just take down any business around the city, and almost everyone was aware that his connection outside the boundaries of the city also should never be underestimated. "I'll count. Ten counts, and if you won't voluntarily show yourself, there's no way I'll leave you with any leeway after this."

Elena Romano understood firsthand that in the world of thieves, everything had a price—except resurrecting dead men. If that had been on the table, her father would still be alive, and Lorenzo Salvatore wouldn't be on her hit list. Her olive-toned skin blended with the darkness, making her almost invisible. For the right price, anything could be bought on the thriving black market of the underworld—maps, blueprints, access codes. Her underworld connections yielded the blueprints to the Salvatore estate. It was pretty easy to kill someone in their own home, no matter how secure they thought they were. The Mafia bosses weren't immune to secrets sold on the black market, though it was pricier t
