Chapter 74 Crane's Pov

• I gulped down in nervousness as I stared at the different faces that were present to see my transformation. None of them had a comforting look. It's like they all wanted me to fail, especially Elliot. I was used to getting this kind of look. Even when I was in school, I was an average student but Elliot has never been the brightest in the bunch, mom always had to push him forward. Sometimes he threatened and bullied his classmates to get better scores. Whenever I stared at my brother, I knew that he had come too far to go back. Elliot has passed redemption. His attitude didn't start when he was a teenager, rather it manifested when he was still a little boy. My parents brushed it aside, claiming that he was just a kid but if Father were to know that his little kid was the one that would have killed him, I'm sure he would have used a more iron fist to train Elliot.
• Even though he was hard on him Elliot was a rotten seed. Every little thing that he did, made once really he gave himself a good excuse to back up his s***** decisions and now I followed in his footsteps. I was becoming more greedy than he was. I seemed to be following in his footsteps closely, even though he wasn't a good influence on me but there was no way I was going to allow Elliot to be bigger than me even though he was older than me. He has exercised his power far too many times and I was sick of it. I was going to show all these people that I would do what they least expected me to do. Crane the good guy was dead buried in a pile of snow and now I was reborn a phoenix, there will be no death for me. This business was giving Elliot so much money and he was becoming untouchable. The Elliot I knew before would have fidgeted and gotten so restless when this organization was made known and lots of wolves from different parts knew that young children from a certain range of age were abducted. It gave him a sense of Joy that they were getting known. He was now calling himself the untouchable but I will never reach his level. It seems like both of us were in a silent war.
• Elliot was after Mr Monday's approval and being his right-hand man but I was aiming higher than that. I would make sure that I would get that bastard's trust, and then I would kill him off. I will be the one to run this organization. I would be the King. I will be unstoppable. Elliot will be nothing but a pawn to me. Mr. Monday would be begging for me to spare his life. I wanted to know everything about that man, if he had a family and even if he did, who his children were. If he still had little children, then maybe I would use that as leverage against him. How would he feel if one of his children was the one that was chained up like some animal, waiting for death to come knocking on the door? I'm sure that would make him give up any rights that he had over this organization. But no matter how many times I tried to tail him to know where he lived and what he was up to but he was extra careful. I have never known Mr. Monday's real house. He always lodged in an inn, that did not make any sense. He wears a wedding ring even with his gloves on. Elliot seems to know a lot about him and I know that he would rather die than give up any information about Mr. Monday. The only person my mind is telling me to approach is that guy with green venomous eyes who was Mr Monday's constant punching bag. He seems to be done with the constant maltreatment he was getting from this secret organization. The way he always seemed to have a murderous look in his eyes whenever he stared at Elliot. I knew a greedy guy when I saw one and that guy was overly ambitious. If I was going to form a group of my own, I am sure he would be in on it without even thinking twice. He didn't seem to like Elliot. At least we share one thing in common. He acts like a total idiot but behind those idiotic acts, I saw a ferocious beast who was ready to do anything for power. I knew that Elliot was in his way and that he wanted to eliminate my brother. I wasn't going to stop him, I was going to help him. If Elliot wasn't going to give me what I needed, then maybe I could get the information somewhere else.
