I made my way to the place Veronica told me to go.
It wasn't just any house as it belonged to some influential figure who acted as the de facto mayor of this lawless territory.
Even in a place drowned in crime, chaos, and violence, it was clear they still needed someone to hold the reins. No matter how unruly, no matter how wild, there had to be a figure of authority keeping the balance. Without that—without someone maintaining even the smallest thread of order—this entire place would collapse on itself. It would rot from the inside out until the very idea of such a lawless haven ceased to exist.
That's why, despite the filth and corruption, they still needed someone to enforce the so-called natural order of things.
