Chapter 37: A new target
Nick’s smirk only faded slightly as he slipped out of the crowd and toward the teleporter in the central square, which was rather barren now since most people had already rushed over toward the front gate to see what all the ruckus was about.
He’d shown his face, stirred up no suspicion, and had already heard half the sanctuary buzzing with talks of war between the two gangs.
He’d done more than enough for one day.

Terminus might be a backwater cesspit in some areas, run mostly by greedy corporations and the odd crime syndicate, but compared to the beast ridden hellscape that was the Beast Domain, it was practically like a five star hotel resort.
Nick made his way through the teleport station’s chaos with ease, weaving through the hubbub of people, catching a glimpse of himself in a reflection before adjusting his expression.

’Calm down idiot!’
’You’re just another weakling heading back home after a day’s unsatisfactory hunt. That’s right, live up to the expectations these morons place on you!’
