Chapter 1871 Audrey's Call
- Despite every contingency Maconne had put in place, the bounty's shockwave hit the Maconne Group harder than he and Stellan had dared to imagine.
- Across the Black Triangle region, mercenaries, contract killers, and bounty hunters roused themselves like predators scenting fresh blood, turning their weapons toward anyone even remotely tied to Maconne's network.
- News of the reward leapt the underworld's fences; even ordinary villagers armed with kitchen knives began stalking Maconne's people on back roads and marketplaces.
