The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Chapter 558

It was one in the morning. Everything was quiet and peaceful everywhere else, but here at Water Dock, things had only just warmed up. It was the most chaotic time of the day, when all kinds of colorful characters began to show up.

Renee had come to Water Dock on her own, with nothing but a ‘top-secret” map of the area that she bought at a high price from the second-hand market. She headed straight to Carmine Pawnshop.

Water Dock had indeed lived up to its reputation. It was every bit as much of the lawless, “no man’s land” it was rumored to be, where burning, looting, robbing, and killing took place at almost every corner.

Here you could find all kinds of goods, and if you looked hard enough, you might even leave with a good deal in your hands. It was certainly the safest area in the Water Dock.

Things began to stray off the beaten track in the Midstream zone. Here you would find illegal casinos, illegal racetracks, illegal brothels, and an illegal marketplace for all kinds of shady goods. This was also a place where you could find groups of thugs and ruffians who had no fear of death. They would do anything for you as long as you agree to their price.

Unsurprisingly, people get killed here every day.
