Book 4: Chapter 15
Trying to push through a crowd while remaining incognito was damn near impossible.
I finally gave up on the incognito part altogether, dropping [Mask of the Despised] and just going for broke, pushing and shoving people while yelling for them to get out of my way. The response was more curses and insults, with people threatening to do all kinds of crazy shit to my ancestors.
I couldn’t give a damn.
My mind was focused on only one thing.
Beat Mak Tung back to his hideout.
I wasn’t sure how much of a lead he had on me, but I would stop at nothing to get there first. The pushing and shoving helped distract me from the thoughts that were spiking in the back of my mind though.
I was already reeling from my defeat, but on top of that I had the guilt of carelessly hanging Hein’s life in the balance, betting on the [Odds Being Against Me] to see me through.
Shit, was I wrong…
A lump of fear rose in my throat.
