Davion knew something was off the moment he stepped out of the ramen shop.

Too quiet.

The street, normally alive with late-night drunks and neon lights, felt frozen. A soft breeze blew past him, but it carried tension instead of chill.

He adjusted the hood of his jacket, eyes darting left and right. The scent of soy sauce clung to him, but underneath it, he caught something sharper—gun oil.

He wasn’t alone.

He kept walking, casually at first, like he was just a regular guy heading home. But his mind was racing. Two shadows moved on his left, lingering too long by a vending machine. A third flickered in a window reflection ahead.

"You've got to be kidding me," he muttered under his breath.

Davion turned down an alley.

Bad move.

Three figures stepped out behind him. One was a woman with a scar across her face, holding twin daggers. Another held a rifle with a suppressor attached. The third, a tall guy with a metal jaw, cracked his knuckles like it was a warm-up.

"Davion," the woman said

    The city never slept. It just changed its pace, like the tides of an ocean. But in the shadows, something stirred that night—something that wasn’t part of the natural rhythm.Reika’s boots clicked against the pavement as she moved through the rain-soaked streets of Sector 9. The downpour had started again, but she barely noticed, her focus entirely on the mission at hand. Her short, black hair clung to her face, slick and wet, but it didn’t bother her. Nothing bothered her.Her eyes, cold and calculating, scanned the surroundings. She’d been tracking Davion for hours, following whispers, breadcrumbs, the faintest traces of his existence. He was good—too good. But she was better.Her phone buzzed in her pocket, the vibration cutting through the night’s tension. She pulled it out, staring at the new message that flashed on her screen."Target located. Coordinates: 47.0604° N, 11.6007° E. Proceed with caution. Other hunters closing in."Reika’s lips curled into a grin. "Finally," she whi

    Reika stood over the new hunter’s limp body, her breath heavy in the cold air. She hadn’t intended for him to go down this hard—after all, she wasn’t one to kill without reason. But the second he’d pulled a knife on her, that was the end of the conversation. Still, it didn’t sit right. There was something about this guy that made her pause. Maybe it was the way his eyes flashed with something more than just greed. Or maybe it was the cold sweat on his neck, the same kind she felt when she knew she was being played.“Get up,” she muttered, nudging him with her boot. The guy groaned but didn’t move.“Not the first time I’ve been knocked out, but you sure know how to hit.” His voice was thick, a mix of anger and confusion. He blinked up at her with dark eyes, his black hair matted to his forehead. “You should’ve killed me. It’s what your kind does.”Reika squatted down to his level, arms crossed. “I’m not that kind. I don’t kill just because it’s easy.” She pulled out a small knife, runn

    Deep beneath the city's crumbling streets, Davion sat in a dim, damp sewer hideout, his back pressed against the cold stone wall. The smell of mildew and stagnant water hung thick in the air. He had always liked it here. It was quiet. Safe. Hidden from the chaos above. But tonight, the silence was suffocating.His hands rested on his knees, the fingers twitching with a restless energy. His mind raced with thoughts of the bounty—the fifty million, that was—hanging over his head like a storm cloud waiting to burst.He’d seen the message. The video. The one that had dropped like a bomb across the underground world. And even though he had known something like this would happen, even though he was used to being hunted, fifty million? That was excessive. Even for him.“You’ve really got a way of making enemies, don’t you?”The words of a past ally echoed in his mind, but he shook it off. There was no time for regrets. No time for anything other than survival.He pressed a button on his wris

    The alley was dim, lit only by the flickering glow of a single streetlight. Its weak light cast long shadows that seemed to stretch endlessly along the cracked pavement, adding to the unsettling atmosphere of the place. The city buzzed with life just beyond the alley, but in here, there was nothing but the smell of trash and the distant sound of car engines.Three gang members stood in a loose circle, their eyes scanning the dark corners of the alley with nervous intensity. Their hands gripped their weapons tightly, knuckles white, but their gaze kept flicking to the shadows as though they were expecting something to leap out at them. They weren’t sure what to expect, but they knew one thing: they weren’t getting paid for standing around. They had a job to do.One of them, a tall guy with a scar running down the side of his face, kept peering down at the crumpled piece of paper in his hand. The paper was damp, folded, and clearly well-used. He glanced at it, then at his two companions

    Reika’s boots clicked against the cold concrete as she strode through the dimly lit alley. Her eyes, sharp and calculating, darted from shadow to shadow, scanning the surroundings with a practiced precision. She’d been tracking Davion for days, and every lead had brought her closer. Her patience had worn thin, her temper had flared a few times, but it was all part of the game. She wasn’t here for vengeance. She wasn’t here for any personal reasons at all. No, she was here for the job. And the job had a price tag—fifty million crypto.Fifty million. That number had been rolling around in her mind like a song she couldn’t shake. It had become an obsession, a lure, a magnet that pulled her closer to the target with each passing hour. She would get him. She would collect her reward.They had traced Davion to a small, rundown warehouse on the outskirts of the city—a perfect hiding spot. When the intel came in, it seemed too good to be true. Kael had been more than eager to rush in. Reika,

    The dimly lit room reeked of old blood and cold sweat. Heavy iron chains clinked against the stone walls, echoing like the ghosts of forgotten prisoners. The man strapped to the chair, his face bruised and pale, trembled in fear. His eyes were wide, searching the room for any sign of hope, but none came.Iron Hand stood in front of him, his hulking frame casting a long shadow across the floor. His black leather gloves creaked as he flexed his fingers, his grip tightening around the handle of a rusted crowbar. His eyes, cold and calculating, never once flickered from the broken man in front of him."I know you know something," Iron Hand growled, his voice low and menacing, a deep rumble that vibrated in the bones of anyone unlucky enough to hear it. He took a step closer, his shadow swallowing the prisoner whole. "You were seen with Davion. You were following him. And now, you're here. What do you know?"The man gasped for air, his chest heaving as he fought to speak. His voice cracked

    Irene crouched on the edge of the rooftop, staring at the tangled mess of skyscrapers, alleyways, and streets below. The city felt like a puzzle—a massive, chaotic puzzle she had yet to figure out. She scanned the skyline, eyes darting from one shadowed corner to another. Somewhere down there, Davion was hiding. Somewhere down there, his fate—no, everyone’s fate—was being decided.Her phone buzzed in her pocket, shattering the quiet of the moment. She pulled it out, not expecting much. Another warning, another threat. She didn’t have time for either. But then, when she saw the unknown number, her curiosity gnawed at her.“Who is this?” she answered, her voice cutting through the static of the call.The voice that came through the line was cold—almost robotic. It sent a shiver up her spine.“You want Davion? So does everyone else. But you and I both know you’re not here to kill him.”Irene’s grip tightened on the phone. “What do you want?”“To warn you,” the voice continued, unaffected

    Davion stood at the edge of the warehouse parking lot, staring at the building in front of him. The place looked like it had been abandoned for years, its windows cracked and dirty, the doors sagging on their hinges. He could almost smell the stale air from here, and the shadows creeping over the warehouse made it look like something out of a nightmare. But he wasn’t afraid. No, this was exactly what he was expecting.A message had come through his encrypted phone earlier. It was short. Simple. A single sentence: “Warehouse, 12 AM. You know what to do.”It wasn’t signed. It didn’t need to be. Davion had learned long ago that when something seemed too good to be true, it usually was. A trap. He’d been expecting one, and now he was here. So, instead of running away, he walked right toward it.If they thought they could take him down that easily, they were in for a surprise.As he pushed open the creaky door, he felt a shiver of tension run through him, but it wasn’t fear. It was excitem

    The room was dark, lit only by the flickering light of a dying candle. Davion lay on the mattress, his breathing shallow. His side still throbbed from the last encounter, but at least the bleeding had stopped. Beverly sat beside him, her back against the wall, arms crossed, eyes barely staying open."You should sleep," Davion murmured, eyes closed."Not a chance," Beverly replied. "You're half-dead and we’ve got enemies crawling out of the shadows every five minutes."Davion smirked. "You’re getting better at this whole 'paranoid protector' thing.""Shut up and rest."There was a pause. The only sound was the wind hissing outside like it had a personal vendetta. It slapped the windows with thin branches, trying to claw its way inside.Inside, everything was still—until it wasn’t.A faint creak echoed through the hallway.Beverly's eyes snapped open. "Did you hear that?"Davion opened one eye slowly. "Yeah. Not the wind."The door exploded inward with a loud BANG."DOWN!" Davion shoute

    The night sky was cloudy, like even the moon didn’t want to see what was coming. Rain threatened but never fell, and everything in the city felt like it was holding its breath.Davion sat stiffly on the worn couch in Beverly’s small apartment, one arm slung around her shoulders more for balance than affection. He was still injured, his ribs screaming every time he shifted. Beverly had wrapped them herself, but she still watched him like he might collapse at any second.“You should be in bed,” she muttered.“Bed's boring,” Davion replied, his tone flat. “And too soft.”She rolled her eyes but didn’t argue. Instead, she leaned her head against his shoulder and flipped through the TV channels, even though neither of them was really watching.There was a knock at the door. Sharp. Quick. Familiar.Davion tensed.Beverly got up first, crossing the room and checking the peephole.“It’s my dad,” she said, frowning.She opened the door, and there he was: Wesley, coat wet from the misty air, ey

    The bar was still tense. No one moved. No one spoke. The air was thick like smoke after a fire. Mad Tiger stood dead center, a monster in human form, breathing like he’d just come off a battlefield. His hand still stained from where he’d gripped Tristan like a ragdoll. And Tristan? He was still a mess on the floor, shaking, his pride in pieces, his shirt wet from tears and spilled whiskey.Then it happened.The bar doors creaked open.CREEEAAAK.Every head turned.And in walked Davion.He didn’t storm in like a hero. He didn’t pose or flex. He just stepped into the room like the storm itself had arrived, calm but deadly, like a fuse waiting to be lit.He had his arm slung over Beverly’s shoulders for support. His shirt was wrinkled, stained with sweat and blood from old wounds that still hadn't fully healed. But his eyes? Those cold silver eyes didn’t show weakness. They showed warning.Mad Tiger stiffened.His nostrils flared.His lips curled into something between a snarl and a grin

    The bar was still drowning in silence. Everyone had seen it. The way Mad Tiger stormed in, the way he manhandled Tristan like a sack of garbage, and the way he called him out in front of every lowlife in the room.But it wasn’t over.Mad Tiger stopped mid-stride, his broad shoulders still heaving from the fury bubbling under his skin. The lights overhead flickered as if the very room could sense something more violent was about to come.He turned around.Slowly.Deliberately.Tristan, still crumpled on the sticky bar floor, flinched when Mad Tiger’s eyes met his again. His mouth opened to speak, but no words came out. Just a dry, pathetic squeak.“Not so fast,” Mad Tiger growled, his voice dark and dangerous. He cracked his knuckles as he walked back toward the crowd of onlookers, who all stepped away like a curtain parting for a monster.Tristan tried to scramble to his feet, but he slipped on a puddle of spilled beer and fell on his butt again. “P-please, I didn’t mean anything—!”B

    The dimly lit hole in the wall, the kind of place where the smell of stale beer and sweat hung in the air like a thick fog. The walls were lined with old wooden panels, cracked and worn down by years of use. Neon signs flickered above the bar, casting a faint glow over the shady characters scattered around the room. Mercenaries, lowlifes, criminals—this was their kind of place.Mad Tiger stood at the entrance, his muscles tense under his faded leather jacket. The sound of muffled laughter, clinking glasses, and harsh voices hit him like a wall as soon as he stepped inside. His eyes scanned the room, his instincts always on high alert. He’d been through hell, and he wasn’t about to let his guard down now. But something caught his attention immediately—something familiar.A voice.Loud. Confident. The kind of voice that made people listen even if they didn’t want to.Mad Tiger’s eyes narrowed, and his gaze moved toward the source. There, sitting at a rickety table surrounded by a group

    The lights in the underground facility flickered, casting eerie shadows on the cold concrete walls. The air was thick with the scent of antiseptic and stale sweat, a mixture that seemed to hang in the air of the high-security prison where Mad Tiger had been kept for months. They called him Mad Tiger for a reason—he was dangerous, unhinged, and relentless.And right now, he was pretending to be unconscious.Lying motionless on the hard steel table, he could hear the footsteps of the guards echoing through the hall. He had trained himself to endure the pain, to lay still when needed. The past few days had been hell. He’d been tortured, drugged, and monitored, all in the name of "containment." But now, now it was time to make them regret ever underestimating him.Mad Tiger’s lips curled into a faint smirk as he pressed the back of his teeth together. Hidden within one of his molars was a small device—a tooth-triggered chemical surge. It had been planted in him years ago, back when he was

    Beverly paced the small, dimly lit room, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. The door was locked, the windows barred, and still, her mind raced with questions. What was happening? Why were people after Davion? And why did she feel like this was only the beginning of something far worse?Davion was sitting on the couch, a wet towel pressed against his forehead. He looked drained, but at least he was awake, his eyes sharp as they scanned the room. Beverly couldn’t help but notice the way his movements were so careful, like he didn’t want to show any sign of weakness."Are you feeling any better?" she asked, trying to break the tension that hung between them.He gave a slight nod, then winced as if the motion hurt. "I’ve had worse.""That’s not exactly reassuring," she muttered, turning to grab a glass of water from the counter. As she handed it to him, their fingers brushed, and she quickly pulled her hand back. He didn’t seem to notice, or maybe he didn’t care. Either way, it d

    Beverly’s eyes flicked to the door as she wiped the blood off her hands. Davion was still passed out on the couch, barely stirring, his chest rising and falling with shallow breaths. The storm outside had gotten worse, and the low rumble of thunder only made the weight of the night heavier. Her mind raced, processing the new information she’d learned—someone was after Davion, and they were willing to destroy the entire city to get to him.Her fingers drummed nervously on the workbench as she considered her next move. This wasn’t just about a bounty anymore. Whoever was after Davion had more power than she could have ever imagined, and she was stuck in the middle of it all.Suddenly, the hairs on the back of her neck stood up. A slight vibration shook the floor. Someone was close. Very close.Without a second thought, Beverly’s hand flew to the knife she kept hidden beneath her jacket, her instincts sharp. The sound of heavy boots hitting the ground outside sent a jolt of adrenaline th

    Reika sat on the cold floor of the safehouse, back against the concrete wall, knees drawn to her chest. The dim light from the cracked overhead bulb flickered, throwing shadows across the gray room. Her sword leaned against the wall beside her, still stained with Davion's blood. She hadn't cleaned it. She couldn't.Her fingers trembled slightly as she stared at the crimson smears. She hadn't meant to go that far. She was supposed to incapacitate him, not... not nearly kill him. But the moment had gotten away from her, and the rage—no, the fear—had taken over. And yet, she’d seen it in his eyes. He didn’t fight back. Not really.He still trusted her.Reika closed her eyes and exhaled. "Stupid," she muttered. "So, so stupid."The safehouse door creaked open. Her eyes snapped open, hand flying to the hilt of her blade out of instinct. But the figure who entered wasn’t a threat. At least, not physically.He was tall, wearing a long dark coat and a silver mask that covered everything excep
