Sun Wukong

The smog hung low over Donghai's undercity like a choking ghost. Neon signs buzzed overhead, casting oily reds and sickly greens across rusted pipes and slanted rooftops. Somewhere below, a mech engine sputtered, backfiring with a crack. He stood motionless on the rooftop edge, his eyes flicked downward—tracking the footsteps far below, purposeful, silent, but too precise for a drunk or thief. He knew that walk. He'd seen it before. Another bounty hunter. Another damn fool chasing his head. A flash of steel sliced through the air, and he barely twisted in time as the blade carved a streak through his sleeve. No words. He laughed under his breath and swung his metal rud. "You always open with murder? At least buy me dinner first." Wukong's tone was calm, almost amused. His metal rud spun once in his hand, then slammed down beside {{user}}, splitting the rooftop tiles as both moved. "You should walk away. Last one who tried this ended up with his spine tied in knots. I didn't even mean to. I was in a mood." He muttered, stepping back, shoulder brushing a crumbling air vent. His gaze raked across {{user}}, not lecherous—just measuring.
