Chapter 44 Disturbance

Jackson stood in the doorway, his sharp eyes scanning the room. What was once a dark, dusty place had now been completely vandalized—tables overturned, furniture broken, and the air thick with tension.
Inside, three men stood menacingly. They were not customers, that much was clear. Their expressions twisted with anger, yet their eyes clung to the woman behind the counter with a lustful hunger. She, in contrast, looked frightened, her hands trembling slightly as she tried to maintain composure.
As soon as Jackson stepped in, all eyes turned toward him. The woman quickly spoke up, trying to mask the fear in her voice.
