'Looks like me and those shitheads really are fated to be mortal enemies, huh? Fine by me, after all, it's not like I can rest peacefully until I've destroyed them.'
Still, there's something that bothers me.
If the Sadis Gang was behind the rumor… why go through all this trouble? They'd already killed the original Aiden. Why keep targeting the massage parlor? What exactly is their goal?
Just then, I was struck with realization.
The rumor wasn't just about me being some predatory scumbag; it specifically said I went after men and women equally. And that had made people of both genders scared to set foot anywhere near Nolan Street...
Walking from the forest to the city, then from the market district to the port, and now deep into the West Borough without a single rest, the fatigue finally caught up to me. My whole body was burning out.
On top of that, the sun blazed overhead like it had a personal grudge against me.
