Chapter 189: A Stand-In.
Leaving the Golden Hummingbird, Dante rode his bike through the Neo-Vatra’s streets with no destination in mind.
’So... how are we going to do this?’
Calling off the heist was out of the question. The promised payment was too much to pass on, not to mention the bonuses they might gain along the way. Klaus Stahlwölfe was a collector, after all, and even one of the items he owned was bound to fetch a hefty sum.
In the back of his mind, Dante still had the idea of going in alone and finishing the job on his own. As appealing as it sounded, having had the chance to think it through, convinced him it was just his arrogance speaking.
The mess he almost got himself into during the recent riots helped pull him back to the ground. A bunch of heroes and other BEO members were going to be present on the promised day, so relying too much on Volcan’s armors was like repeating the same mistake that almost got him into trouble with Flame Guard.
That wasn’t to say he planned on sitting by the side. There is a limit to how much restraint he could practice, and though he liked to believe that he was the calm and calculated type, recklessness had always influenced his actions. That’s why, instead of worrying about whether he should participate or not, Dante focused on how he should do it instead.
’I need to be there in person, obviously. ’ He thought. ’We can snatch a few cyborgs in the chaos. The cops might bring out the heavy equipment, too.’
Looting the battlefield was a sure way to make a small fortune, but to do so, he would have no choice but to get close. Type 8-3 was going to play a big role, but he had no intention of having it on the entire time. Right now, the plan heavily relies on him using Ghost Mode to stay off the radar.
As they have control over Ember, granting the others a version of Ghost Mode wasn’t out of the question. To do that, however, he would have to find a way to deliver the news to his fixer and subsequently the others.
