Chapter 2563

At least, street violence and murders had all but disappeared these days.

Inside the city's largest nightclub, scantily clad women were still working the floor, trying their best to lure in customers. People came and went as usual, the scene no different than any other night.

A black Maybach idled at the club's rear entrance. Bruce stepped out, opened the back door, and stood respectfully aside. "Gab, Giles is already here!"
