Chapter 126: Details.
"... Insane..." A whisper shattered the silence permeating the bar’s second floor. "This is insane..."
The idea of stealing something from the scion of the Stahlwölfe family was unreasonable to begin with. Because of that, no one understood why the fixer thought a massive police raid would make it easier, and that’s without considering the number of heroes that would be involved.
Mr. Pike held his chin, contemplating the idea for some time before voicing his opinion.
"It is true that the chaos of the raid might grant us the chance to successfully complete this mission, but at the same time, there is a great risk of us getting caught at the center of it all."
According to Victor’s source, the NVPD has been investigating Steel Wolf Holdings for years and was preparing to take down the Stahlwölfe now that they had enough dirt on them.
The story smelled, of course. A conglomerate such as Steel Wolf Holdings wouldn’t have grown to its size without knowing how to work the system for its benefit, and the police wouldn’t have gone after them just because they had uncovered some illegal practices.
If the NVPD is truly planning to put an end to the Stahlwölfe empire, it would mean something big is happening and they could no longer protect them, or it might be that someone more powerful is pulling the strings, trying to get rid of a persistent rival.
Rather than justice being delivered to a bunch of evildoers, it would be more accurate to say the Stahlwölfes have fallen out of favor and are now facing extermination.
