The smoke in Stronghold 63 had already dispersed. A small battle was not enough to cause much damage to the stronghold, after all. Moreover, the civilians were not affected by the battle between the two sides, so casualties involving the stronghold residents were as good as negligible.
But to the Wang Consortium, the actual controller of Stronghold 63, this was a challenge to their authority by the Anjing House and the Pyro Company.
If people like the elderly sugar painter and Vanilla, who could manipulate metal, were to enter any strongholds under the Wang Consortium's jurisdiction again, a citywide search would be immediately triggered once they got identified by the surveillance cameras.
The reason why the price for killing a target in the Wang Consortium's strongholds was so high was that most hitmen could only conduct one mission in them.
Not everyone could parkour—fly over roofs and scale walls—like Ren Xiaosu.
