"We… we were just asked to deliver!"
"Hm."
Adam didn't say anything. He just stared into the open trailer in front of him, a complete contrast to the two truckers behind him, who were trembling like little children caught stealing.
Their breathing came in short, panicked bursts as they watched Adam survey the cargo—how could they not, when the eggs were right there? Everything they had inside the trailer was about to be gone.
But of course, that wasn't the only reason for their panic. Moving monsters outside official channels was federal crime territory, punishable by decades in prison or worse.
They were similar to scavengers in a way. Both benefiting from the side effects and aftermaths of the Game—but of course, scavengers are public sector.
And these truckers were neither from the IBAA nor working for any form of government. They were smugglers. And here they were, caught red-handed by someone who was capable of killing their very cargo.
