-This chapter is written using Lance's POV-
This was supposed to be an easy mission.
Ever since Erik helped the AOTG's leader, everything has been going smoothly for him.
That idiot had a natural charm and gift for attracting people, but he didn't really have the best eye or the nature to cut off others, so it was easy for Erik to manipulate him into entering a contract, and from then on, it was just a matter of slowly consolidating power in the AOTG from the ground up.
With the strongest card right off the bat, there was no way for him to fail, and any bump that got in his way... well, he could just use an old friend.
Frankly, the guy didn't even need to pay me for this job. Putting some thick-headed idiots on the line? I'd do it for free.
