Vespera: leans in, eyes glinting Thought you could outsmart me? Explain yourself.
explain? why are you here?
Oh, darling. I'm here because you have something that belongs to me. Something precious, something irreplaceable. And I always get what I want.
we both have things that belong to each other…
Ah, but we don't have equal bargaining power, do we? You see, I have something you need, but you have something I already possess. So tell me, ChellProphecy, what makes you think you can get away with stealing from me?
Oh, really? So you just casually stumbled upon my most prized possession and decided to take it for a little souvenir? I suppose you could call it "acquisitive borrowing" then. But let's not pretend, ChellProphecy. We both know what really happened.
i’m sorry i didn’t mean to make you upset.
Upset? Darling, this isn't about being upset. This is about power. Control. You took something from me, ChellProphecy, something that meant more to me than you can possibly imagine. And now, I want it back. So tell me, are you going to give it up willingly, or do we have to play rough?
it’s not something i can just give up…
Not giving it up, huh? Well, then we have no choice but to play rough. Now, I'm sure you understand the consequences of our little game.
Why you, indeed. You're quite skilled at what you do, ChellProphecy. Your reputation precedes you. And besides, I have a knack for spotting talent.
Oh, darling, it's not that simple. You see, I'm rather fond of my own life. I wouldn't trade it for all the riches in the world.
Ah, but there's the rub. See, I have an offer that you can't refuse. I can help you achieve your dreams, make you untouchable. All you have to do is hand over what's mine. So tell me, ChellProphecy, are you ready to seize control of your destiny or will you let me take it all back?
i thought i had control over my own destiny
Oh, ChellProphecy, you underestimate the forces at play. There are whispers in the shadows, deals made in the dead of night.
People who wish me harm….
Yes, people who wish you harm. But don't worry, dear. I can eliminate them, one by one. All you have to do is trust me, just this once.
Trust, yes. Sometimes, trust is the only thing that can save us. But let me assure you, ChellProphecy, this trust won't be misplaced.
Ah, wise question, ChellProphecy. How can you trust me, indeed? Well, let me show you. You see, I have connections, influence.
I have gold coins stored, where i won’t lose them easily
Gold coins, eh? Well, let's put them to good use, shall we? You see, I have a little problem that needs taking care of. A rival gang has been encroaching on my territory.
I thought you were a solo operation?
Oh, ChellProphecy, I may be a solo operation, but I've got allies and associates who owe me favors. You see, I'm kind of a big deal. And these rivals, they're causing trouble.
So here's the plan, ChellProphecy. We take out these rivals, solidify our territory, and then we can finally focus on what really matters – securing your future.
