Warehouse District, Sector 4 – Steel Group (SG) Territory
Drizzling rain, the pungent scent of rust, and the roar of industrial metal cutters serving as a front for underground illegal activities.
Steel Group (SG) was an old giant in Ironport. On the surface, they were the city's primary steel suppliers, but within their dark warehouses, they manufactured and distributed illegal firearms to every faction. Tonight, Rion decided that SG's monopoly had to end.
### **Initiation Mission: Selina & Ricky**
On the outskirts of Sector 4, **Selina** sat inside a police surveillance car she had just received through Den's authority. Beside her, **Ricky** was adjusting his tie, looking far too relaxed for someone about to enter a war zone.
"Our task is simple, babe," Ricky said, checking his suppressed pistol. "I go in as a 'buyer' from out of town, you monitor the police radio frequencies to ensure no unwanted intervention. If a patrol gets too close, you handle them with your badge."
Selina nodded sharply. "Don't die, Ricky. I don't want to write your death report on my first day on the job."
Ricky smirked, exited the car, and walked toward the SG main gate with his lethal Casanova charisma. Meanwhile, Selina began sabotaging the local police communication systems so that reports of gunfire tonight would be dismissed as "fireworks" by the command center.
### **Street War: Nero Familia Mobilization**
On the other side of the warehouse, black shadows began to move. Rion deployed his full combat strength.
**Gin** and **Shawn**, two frontline fighters who had recently joined, led the assault from the left flank. Gin moved like lightning with twin blades, while Shawn provided cover with a submachine gun.
"Destroy their supply, don't let a single bullet leave this warehouse!" Rion commanded over the radio.
**Zack** and **Mako** smashed through the rear gate using Garry's armored van. The first explosion rocked the warehouse, triggering a fierce firefight between SG guards and Nero Familia.
### **Confrontation Inside the Warehouse**
Inside, Ricky successfully lured the SG operational leader into the open. As the fake negotiation took place, Ricky gave a strobe light signal.
**BANG! BANG!**
Two precision shots from Ricky downed the primary guards. At that exact moment, the warehouse's glass roof shattered. **Krow** unleashed sniper shots from a distance, while Gin and Shawn breached through the windows, cutting down anyone trying to reach for a weapon.
"You have no idea who you're dealing with!" the SG leader screamed while trying to activate the alarm.
"We know exactly who you are," Rion's voice sounded cold as he stepped out from behind a cloud of smoke. "You are the past. We are the future."
### **Cleanup and Evidence**
Once the area was secured, Selina entered in her detective uniform. She hadn't come to arrest Nero Familia, but to "secure" the scene.
She immediately set up police tape and seized all of SG's illegal documents before other police units could arrive. With these documents, Selina had the hard evidence needed to imprison the remaining SG executives, while their best weapons had already been hauled away by Garry to the Sector 7 headquarters.
"Good work, Detective," Ren whispered, appearing beside Selina in the darkness.
"This is just the beginning," Selina replied, staring at the warehouse now filled with the bodies of SG members. "Ironport is going to get very red before it finally turns black."
