Chapter 153: [Weekly Bonus - 3/6] Back In A Familiar Place
In the desolate slum streets, rain poured down in sheets, soaking everything in its path. Neon signs flickered weakly, casting eerie shadows on the empty sidewalks. Puddles formed in the potholes, mirroring the flickering lights above.
Some faces could be seen peeping through the broken windows, and boarded-up storefronts lined the streets. Yet they were unaware of what was happening in the alley behind the buildings.

’Those were great times... what I wouldn’t give to experience that fucking boss battle again.’
