Chapter Thirty-Seven: What Crime Paid
Wolfe decided to look at the Unique Infernal creature cards first. He was going to look for canine ones first, but as he scrolled down the list, he realized, with growing frustration, that it wouldn’t even come to that. There were literally only two unique creatures mentioned, and neither were canine subtype.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Wheeling, Dealing, and Warnings
“I’m surprised you let that fat fuck go,” Miriam said over the table they all sat at in the Ekron Eternal. Wolfe noted that even though it had only been a few days, the bullet holes and blood from his assault here were gone—and despite being in the early afternoon, Miriam was keeping the place dim and foggy, its ambiance restored from when Wolf...

Chapter Thirty-Three: Combat of the Absurd
A quick glance at the Stone Arch Fire card and back at the Lesser Urban Corrupter told Wolfe that it was going to be a huge problem if Shel got her deck going—it already gained plus one to all its stats from Shel’s Mythic card.
But it was Infernal, and would take half damage from ...

Wolfe opened the door quickly, slamming himself briefly against the outside wall on the off-chance someone had seen him and was prepared to shoot him coming in. When no one fired, he looked around the corner, and seeing no one in the entrance, moved inside.
The front room had all the tac...

He was tense partially bec...

The small, cramped space they were in smelled like the waiting room at a dingy criminal courthouse—a faint scent of desperation and fear-laced sweat, along with a fainter scent of aggression.

Chapter Thirty-Three: ‘Friends with Vampires’ Wasn’t on my Apocalypse Bingo Card
Noah walked up the steps, leaving the Undermarket behind. The warm air from the Undermarket rushed up past him, creating the tiniest hint of frost in the air as it reached the freezing air of Night City. His team—RED and Lika—followed him. So too did his allies, Grace and Kishara. The spurned vampire walked like s...

“Wait, wha—” Was all Noah managed to get out.
The two vampires lunged forward, teeth out, but Noah had been in these fights a lot recently. He took a step back and to the side, almost falling off the edge of a platform but putting one attacker in front of the other. He made a command decision and touched his chest rather than grab his pistol, using his...

Pain crept in from the edge of existence, drawing Dania inexorably back to consciousness.
"Fuck," she muttered, and squeezed her eyes tight before forcing them open into blinding light that stabbed into her brain.

Machairi leapt over the coffee table, flinging himself at the snarling wolf. The wolf leapt to meet him, and the pair of them crashed together midair and dropped in a tangle of shadowy tendrils, flashing teeth and glinting knives.
