Chapter 182: Setting Out

Ryo stood in the garage, listening to the low hum of the truck's engine as it roared to life, resonating in the enclosed space. He inspected every inch, checking the tires, fuel, and battery—anything that could become a liability on the road. The MP5 rested against his shoulder, and beside him stood Sayako, watching with silent attentiveness. Her posture was sharp, eyes forward, awaiting his next move.

Ryo planned every detail for the trip ahead, making sure both Sachiko and Yumi would be safe. Two of the strongest Striders were positioned in the back of the truck, where they'd stand guard throughout the journey. They were faster, deadlier—perfect for extra security on the road. Sayako, his trusted companion, would be seated next to him in the front, ready to respond at a moment's notice.
