It takes me a little while to reach Shatterbird, mostly on account of the little spider robot being a lot slower than me, but eventually it leads me to a warehouse, dips it's head twice and then heads back to it's master.

Sucks to be them then, because they're gonna wish this will be as simple as a fight.

"Thank you, thank you! You're all real Heroes. God bless you!" The sheer gratitude in their tone is almost enough to bring a tear to my eyes.

It's hard to describe, like I'm hearing something that isn't there. My brain telling me to listen and my ears not knowing ...

Especially since we are insid...

Since it only disabled my body instead of knocking me out, I was fully aware while Bonesaw got Siberian to pick my up to put me on the operating table, which meant that when the drug wore off, I already knew I was in prime position t...

The only actual way that Shatterbird's glass can even cause me any harm is by bypassing the skin via already existing...

"-and that about sums it up!~ If you guys decide to move in within the week then it should be no problem gathering the Xiao Longs under you and you could probably convince most of the 'Lords' to change sides. All the while, the Heroes will probably do nothing so that you guys can bring the city back to order for them.~"

The door opens and I turn as Rose leaves the Boss' office with a sigh.

How does one go about destabilising an area so that a gang of 'businessmen' can come in and seamlessly take over the drug trade as well as propping up their corporate heroes?
