Chapter 72 Reckless Gambits

• The conversation with The Bull went better than I had expected. He didn’t outright say he’d help me, but I knew he would. That man would burn the whole world down to find his sister, and if helping me meant getting her back, he’d do it. Even if it killed him.
• Still, the whole thing left a bitter taste in my mouth. People always came to me asking for favours. They came to me, asking for something and offering something in return. And now, my ego had taken another hit because of Roman. Again. The bastard had taken everything from me, reduced me to this, needing and begging help from people who, in a normal scenario came to me for help. He cornered me and left me relying on people I barely trusted. I wasn’t used to that. I wasn’t built for it.
• But I’d make damn sure Roman regretted ever breathing in the same air as me. I’d rip everything he had from his grasp. Brick by brick. Dollar by dollar. Life by life. Until there was nothing left of him.
