Chapter 283: The Lurking Menace ----- Within the dark depths of Fortress City’s underground sewers, there were large ruins of old houses where the new city was built over. In these dark places below the watchful eye of Hunters and the Military, all matters of criminals gathered from all backgrounds. Sometimes to illegally sell materials, equipment, drugs, and potions. Most of the time though, to brawl and fight in large underground arenas for money. However, this time was different; several leaders of criminal organizations had gathered together. The Crimson Wasps, the remaining live members of the Uroboros Cult, which had renamed themselves after learning their Archdemon patron had died. Several Italian-American Maffia Groups, mostly led by the strongest criminals that had awakened in the city, lived right beneath the hunters above, hiding and trying to be as undetectable as possible. And lastly, several street gangs that had been popping up lately, of rebellious hunters that didn’t want to abide by the government rules, somewhat inspired by the terrorist attacks of the “Dawn of a New World.”. Compared to the strongest Hunters of the city, these people were nothing, but whenever they weren’t around, they were real threats. And right now they gathered together for an incredible, unique occasion. An alliance. Why would criminals ever make an alliance to begin with? Each one cares about their own lives and their own ambitions. Their gangs exist for a reason; they have companions between one another. But to join a completely different gang out of nowhere? That was always bound to generate conflicts. Unless there was someone strong enough to command and force them all to gather anyway. Someone that went out of their way to defeat each Leader and put into them terrible curses, forcing them to gather here… Or die. “We’re here… Who issss calling ussss…?” The first group to arrive in the sewers were the former cultists of Uroboros, wearing their black cloaks and whose hands were covered on scales. After Uroboros died, his powers also died off, and the remaining demonic energy ended mutating their bodies, leaving them permanently as mutated snake-like freaks with no way of going back. Therefore, they were forced to leave their second lives as normal citizens or hunters and escape to live in the sewers. Despite their hideous forms, they were incredibly strong, a sizable asset. “Those things, hey boss, aren’t they?” “…Uroboros Cultists, hm?” “Why have those freaks been called here?!” The second group to arrive was the mafia family known as “La Cosa Nostra”, perhaps one of the last surviving branches of Italian mafia after the First Awakening began, mostly composed of awakened members that survived the cataclysm and took refuge in cities. They wore fancy black suits and black fedoras, mostly, and carried guns and weapons with them without impunity; most of them were unregistered awakened too, completely invisible to the government. “Tch, to the left a bunch of freaks, and to the right the fucking Italian mafia?!” “Holy shit! Like the movies!” “Big bro, are we in the big leagues now?!” Lastly, the army of street gangs, mostly composed of young, awakened men and women, street thugs with little experience in true crime, had begun delving into it by selling drugs and other illegal products while defending their territories from other gangs. All three groups stood surrounding a single man, whose entire body was covered with a black cloak. Yet one could notice there was some white hair hanging down from below his hood. And then his bright red eyes shone, sending a creepy vibe to everyone present. “You’re here… So you’ve come, just as I called… I am surprised; despite being the worst of the worst, all of you kept your word,” the man spoke with the voice of someone who hasn’t drank water for a whole week. “I’m surprised… Very surprised…” The three groups were already hitting their limit. “You fucking bastard! It’s not like we had any choice!” roa
