Elena was about to ask who was looking for them when a sudden commotion erupted outside the building.
An explosion rang out, followed by the sharp crack of gunfire.
She was taken aback by the chaos and wondered who would have the audacity to attack in such extreme weather.
Ethan quickly went to her side, looking vigilant as they assessed the situation.
But soon, they noticed the residents seemed unusually calm, as if the disturbance outside was nothing more than a trivial matter.
"What's going on?" Elena asked one of the residents, who was peering out the window.
"Oh, shop owner, no need to panic. It's just the thugs and our group fighting again," the resident replied casually.
Elena frowned, trying to process the information.
"Fighting? Why?"
"It's always been like this. The thugs and criminals want to take over this building, but the manager fights back," the resident explained, shrugging as if it were an everyday occurrence.
