Chương 156: Preparation

I moved swiftly, my steps purposeful as I crossed the room to the wardrobe. Inside, a carefully chosen array of gear awaited: my combat suit, tailored to provide both protection and flexibility; my weapons, meticulously maintained and ready for use; and a small bag with essential supplies.
