Chapter 93: First Eliminated
Elliot observed them in the distance, and when he saw that they had decided to complete the mission, he felt more relaxed.
His idea of coming to hire Misfits arose recently, when he returned to the city and heard some of the things the Misfits had said that day.
Almost all the Misfits in the City are under the Clarks’ control, who believe they have total control over them. However, they can’t control some things, and Elliot knows this because he has been working with them for two years.
He understood perfectly what they were doing and also the kind of people they were: they all craved money.
For them, their god was money and nothing else. That’s why buying them with money was a good way to turn them around.
Unfortunately, he does not have the money to do so. He knows that between the Misfits and the Clark smuggling they handle daily, they move more than $4 million; he can’t compete with that level of power.
But, there are some things he can do.
One of these tactics is to try to win over individuals who work closely with the drug dealers, offering them easy tasks for top dollar on behalf of some organization. The Misfits lack any kind of information, so they easily fall for these lies that an Awakened One can tell them.
Therefore, it is easy for him to deceive them nowadays.
And deceiving a few every month is equal to achieving a significant change in three months. He was not looking for them to turn against the Clarks, because it was impossible for him at present; he was looking to make a name for himself among them so that when the time comes, they can be helpful in his plan.
It’s true that he would spend a lot of money, but if he does it right, it will be worth it. Additionally, in the future, this could be useful for him to establish contact with the government, as the people he’s sending to kill are all wanted criminals whose locations he knows. Most of them are Misfits who hide among the Misfit groups to avoid incarceration.
