Hok's Street (street in front of Tengtu Hok’s palace)

Daylit palace-front street immediately in front of Tengtu Hok’s walled palace. The location is used for multiple narrative set-pieces: a tense courier handoff in which Kehoe’s car briefly stops and Bang Chow moves toward the gate with a black suitcase, and a violent diversion in which a sleek Mercedes limousine detonates, scattering bystanders and forcing security into emergency lockdown. The open expanse of the street exposes couriers to hidden watchers and can be exploited to draw patrols away from upper walkways.
