The moon hung high, bathing Regalia City in silver light. Even at midnight, the city pulsed with life—neon signs flickering, laughter spilling from distant alleys. But in the slums, the only thing that moved was the wind.
A bus rumbled to a stop, its doors hissing open. A group of men stepped out, their boots crunching against the dirt-covered pavement.
"Attention!"
A sharp voice cut through the stillness. The speaker, Oliver, surveyed the group with sharp eyes.
"You all know why we are here," he said. "We're stationed here for the night."
His gaze swept over them before he continued. "I've been assigned as today's guard captain."
The men straightened at his words.
"Our job is simple," Oliver continued. "Check every person thoroughly. No one gets inside unless cleared. If anyone seems suspicious... mark them and keep an eye on them. Understood?"
"Yes, sir!" The group responded in unison.
