The deadly activities of the Hidden Tower continued to draw the attention of countless fighters, but Amara had another priority that was no less important for the operation of the underground faction.That night, the logistics girl was forced to conduct a survey on her own, making her way through the streets of the uncharted outer slums.Her light footsteps pierced the darkness of the narrow alleys reeking of filth, noting every detail of the abandoned buildings for secret smuggling routes.Everything remained quiet until three sturdy figures in thick robes bearing the academy's emblem suddenly emerged from the shadows of the alley, blocking her only way out.Amara frowned, instinctively narrowing her eyes.
