Things were already stirring in Stronghold 73. The underworld criminals were hiding in the stronghold and waiting for their opportunity to strike.
As East Lake spanned a very large area, it would be impossible to pinpoint the research laboratory’s location when the Silkshade House only stated that it was in the vicinity of East Lake. So, everyone was just waiting for the Pyro Company to find the research laboratory’s entrance before making their move to seize the research data.
Although the criminal underworld was no match for the members of the Pyro Company in a one-on-one battle, everyone knew there would be a lot of people involved when the conflict broke out. Furthermore, the A-rank hitmen from the Silkshade House would be participating in the battle as well. Once the situation turned chaotic, as long as they could get their hands on some of that research data, they could sell it for a sky-high price.
However, the mob bosses still remained hidden in the spa center. It was not like they enjoyed soaking in the hot bath and scrubbing their backs, but that most of them had been placed on the watchlists of the various consortiums. If they were to go outside and get recognized by people, the Stardust Consortium might just arrest them on the spot.
It was not only they who were lying low. Even Vanilla and the elderly sugar painter, the Pyro Company, and the Riders were also hiding their presence in the stronghold.
