Chapter 68: A Real Gang
The others in the car were shocked to hear the word gang, and even the driver had turned around, his eyes practically popping out of his head.
When people heard the word gang, or mafia, the mob, certain images immediately came to mind.

How would you find someone loyal? Someone skilled? Someone true to their world?
