Outside The Sovereign Grand Hotel & Towers, the atmosphere on the street level had subtly shifted.
While regular civilians walked the neon-lit sidewalks and luxury hover-cars glided down the elevated highways, several shadowy figures had quietly gathered in the surrounding area.
Across the street from the hotel entrance, inside a dimly lit, 24-hour street-side cafe, a five-person mercenary team sat at a corner table.
They wore civilian jackets over dark body armor, trying their best to blend in with the late-night coffee drinkers.
This was the Night-Hound Strike Unit… a mid-tier bounty hunting group specializing in urban target extraction.
They weren't the strongest group in Isle Supercity, but they were notoriously efficient, ruthless, and heavily equipped with military-grade gear.
