Shin and Eva started to see each other more often. He would visit the tavern every Friday just to see her, or sometimes, he would just go straight to her apartment at dawn.
Their morning... afternoon and night were steaming hot. They both couldn't just get enough of each other, and it was like they were caught with an incurable disease. Na habang tumatagal ay lalo pang lumalala.
Eva continued to sing at the Crickets, not just every Friday but on Saturdays, too, and Shin would always go there to watch her perform. Sa ibang araw naman ay sa ibang pub sa siyudad ng Yllanas si Eva tumutugtog. And as much as Shin wanted to watch her perform there, he just couldn't expose himself in the city. Walang makapagsasabi kung nasa paligid ang Nexus para manmanan siya— at ayaw niyang madamay si Eva kung saka-sakali.
Sa siyudad ng Yllanas ay may access ang lahat ng gangs. From small to big groups— pantay-pantay doon at walang pwedeng maghari-harian.
Ang bawat gang ay may kani-kaniyang bayan na pinaghaharian, at ang mga bayang iyon ay siyang nakapaligid sa siyudad ng Yllanas.
Ang Santa Lucia ang pinaka-malaki, at pinaghaharian ng Nexus sa ilalim ni Stalwart. Ang bayan naman ng Catib kung saan sila namumuno ang sumunod na pinaka-malaki. Next was Bañes, the territory of the group called Cruise, and the list went on.
And each gang leader had their own pseudonym. Stalwart wasn't Stalwart's real name of course— at walang sinuman ang nakakaalam kung ano. While he was called Shruff. The previous gang leader of Titans was called Barbosa— and he was supposed to carry on that name. Pero tinanggihan niya at gumawa siya ng sarili niyang alyas. He thought of himself— his personality. He looked for an adjective that suits his character best.
And he ended up choosing 'Shatterproof'. Which also means unbreakable.
But he didn't want to be called Chief Shatterproof, so he shortened the name and settled with Shruff.
Maliban kay Stalwart ay may isa pa siyang gang leader na minsan nang nakaharap matapos nilang magkaroon ng riot laban sa grupo nito— anim na taon na rin ang nakararaan. His name was Ravenous, a man with a long scar on his face. He was the leader of the gang called Rage. Sila ang naghahari sa isa pang bayan na nakapaligid sa Yllanas— ang bayan ng Victoria.
And Ravenous declared war when Shin stole his woman.
And oh yes, he did. Shin successfully did. He stole Ravenous' woman because she asked to be saved. At tinulungan ito ni Shin dahil bago pa man ito naging babae ni Ravenous ay dati na itong babae ni Shin. She was a beautiful Filipino-Puerto Rican woman who owned a big casino in Yllanas. Her name was Natalia. Nakilala nito si Shin sa casino— noong hindi pa ito gaanong mainit sa mga mata ng ibang mga grupo. He was only twenty-four then, at noo'y kanang kamay pa lang ni Barbosa.
