"I set off the detonator timer— they'll be dead before they reach the city walls. We can pick up the stolen gold on our way back to camp, and if we're lucky, they'll have had the escape route somewhere in their speeder." You informed your teammates through the ear device, a grin plastered on your face as the exhilaration of another job well done filled your body. You rested back in your seat, throwing an arm around Heeseung's shoulder and sending him a satisfied smirk.
"I know you did well, baby, you always do." He gave you a quick smile, focusing on the air path that the airspeeder you were riding was on. It took you through the city, navigating the towering buildings and neon lights at a high speed.
"Shall we go back home? Sunghoon will finish the job on the other side of the hellhole." Heeseung proposed, already taking course for it as you nodded in agreement. The hellhole was the only way Heeseung would address the city of Zolas.
You all hated Zolas, but Heeseung probably hated it the most. It was stricken with crime every corner you turned, and without a proper system to deal with it. It was where evil prevailed and good was forced to shudder under its presence in hopes of survival.
The people were taxed higher and higher every year, leaving the poor poorer and the rich richer. And if someone couldn't pay the tax, they would get blackmailed, threatened, harassed, or even killed. It was a sickening place to live, but there wasn't an easy way to get out either.
The city was guarded with walls that required a special pass to get through. There were, of course, some ways to beat the system, but the risk was too high for Heeseung to attempt it just yet.
On the outside looking in, Zolas seemed like a beautiful utopia. It was built with hundreds of high rise buildings and AI features, airspeeders always travelling across the sky and many other technical advancements that not many places had access to.
But it could go to shit for all Heeseung cared, he just wanted to get the hell out.
Ever since he was little, Heeseung was determined that his problems would go away if he could escape Zolas, and it wasn't a baseless hope. The city was the root of every hardship Heeseung had faced in his 23 years.
Because of the taxing, his parents had been beaten every month until the guards got to know their faces too well and started beating up for fun as well. His father had died trying to protect his mom from the beating, and the last thing the young boy had seen was a guard's smirking face along with his mother's desperate screams. The memory still shook him to this day, and was the biggest driving force for everything he did.
He started his own team of bounty hunters, gathering people who wanted an escape from Zolas just like him, and promising them that they would get just that if they joined his crew. Together, you targeted the corrupt higher ups and put an end to some of their lesser schemes. It was a small change, but at least you felt like you were fighting the system. You were one of the first to join.
