บท 174: Heist Preparations

****(POV)

How long had it been since he had come here? The Pirate Conqueror could be seen slowly strolling the streets of Metropolis-C. 

This old nickname had followed him for so long. He wanted nothing more than to be worthy of it again. For that goal, he was scouting the area. 

He could feel the itchiness of the skin mask he was wearing. It was an incredibly primitive method, but it would work for now. Of course, he'd be busted if he went near any facility with higher security. 

He could feel the tension in the air. Nothing looked out of the ordinary but there were barely any people on the street. It should have been full considering this was District B. They had probably heard about Gene Corp and were staying home safe. 

But then, a few civilians came swaggering toward him. There was something awfully peculiar about the way they were moving. Their shoulders bounced from side to side as they took extremely quick steps.
