Chapter 103: Fell for the trap.
Hook, line, and sinker. Dante got caught and made a fool of himself. Not only was he forced to apologize, but now he also had to take an entire week off.
Victor had received a big job and was in the process of assembling a crew. He held back on sharing the details, but the pay was looking to be quite generous. For him to get a spot, Dante had to agree to take a break. That meant not working for seven days straight. No gigs, big or small, and no bounty hunting or Red Marking. He could only relax, take a trip to the beach, or sleep the entire week.
As he lay down in his bed, Dante wondered if he could go an entire week like this, doing nothing and just trying to relax.
[168 hours of idle time.] Volcan said. [Considering how much you have accomplished in a time period of the same length, I would say it is inefficient for you not to work.]
’Right...’
Still, a deal was a deal. Victor didn’t just set the conditions out of nowhere. It showed that he noticed something Dante himself was unaware of, or it might just be a conclusion he arrived at after when taking everything that happened into consideration.
Either way, having an unstable factor running around was bound to cause problems, or so the fixer thinks. Dante wasn’t too worried about his mental state, but others didn’t necessarily share his confidence. In their opinion, no one bounces back so fast, so unless he took some time off, they wouldn’t let him be.
’Is that why Vic didn’t give me any big jobs?’
The first one was tracking down that gambler, which wasn’t too small of a job, but then things went south. After that, it was only one simple job after the other. Neither went according to his expectations, of course.
’Very odd...’
Three jobs, each relatively straightforward, but all of them led to a mess of some kind. One would say the whole thing with that purple-haired Rose wasn’t too bad, but Dante begged to differ.
