Two days later.
Seventy-two hours had passed since the brutal confrontation between Jayden and Frost in Carmine City.
Heeding Fred's stern advice, Jayden had completely halted his crusade against the Black Cobra syndicate. He needed to lay low, let the EVA chase ghosts, and divert their attention away from the masked vigilante's true motives. So, he pivoted his focus entirely to the local criminal underworld.
To prevent the EVA from pinpointing Emerald City as his base of operations, Jayden expanded his hunting grounds. Every night, he rotated between Emerald, Ruby, and Jade City, systematically dismantling local street gangs, illegal weapon rings, and smuggling operations. The results were staggering. In just forty-eight hours, the crime rate across the tri-city area plummeted by a massive sixty percent.
