Everything followed the same pattern as before.
The same routine. The same ride.
Max and Wolf were taken to the usual kind of location, a cluster of restaurant chains on the outskirts of the city. Only this time, something was different.
The restaurants were getting larger. Fancier. More upscale with each visit. But the growing luxury wasn't the only thing that had changed.
When the vans pulled up and came to a stop, more members began pouring out of them than ever before.
It was obvious now, this wasn't just another turf skirmish. The operation was escalating. And fast.
As Max stepped out of the vehicle with Wolf beside him, his sharp eyes scanned the scene. One figure, standing confidently at the edge of the lot, caught his attention.
Na was already here.
'If they're bringing both Na and Dud into this fight,' Max thought, tension building in his chest, 'then this must be serious.'
Na's voice cut through the noise as he turned to face them.
