I moved after confirming the information on money laundering that Hemillas had sent.
There were many ruins on the outskirts of Akbaran. Ruins existed for various reasons. Some places had been abandoned due to canceled development plans, while others had been overrun by outlaws so vile that even gangs had driven them out, leading authorities to give up on maintaining order.
The place where I stood was one such abandoned ruin. Even the residents of the lower districts never set foot here. It was a lawless zone, devoid of even the minimal order imposed by gangs.
‘Ground destabilized due to reckless development.’
I looked at the unevenly protruding earth. Some areas had sunken in as I walked. In severe cases, the ground had caved in so deeply that the bottom wasn’t visible.

Originally planned as a business district, high-rise buildings stood densely packed. The further in I went, the more I saw unfinished buildings. Rusted steel frames were exposed in eerie desolation.
