Chapter 153: Great Misfit Rebellion
With everything going uphill for the House of Fire, Elliot began to mobilize among the Misfits, moving to the right place, waiting for the right moment to command.
He hired a few Misfits to do specific jobs and then simply let everything move forward as if nothing had happened.
He also prepared himself in case they decided to extend the smuggling further.
And it suited him just fine.
That night, things seemed to calm down on the House of Fire side; they didn’t seem to plan to move, but Elliot still had the Misfits do some sabotage work on one side and the other.
Some areas were targeted for sabotage, such as cutting the power or outright stealing the contents.
This naturally angered the upper echelons of the House of Fire, but they were too busy looking for an alternative, as they now had a noose around their necks.
If this went wrong and they found out what they were trying to smuggle, they wouldn’t be the only ones in trouble. Even those at the top would be in serious trouble with many people.
This was why their movements were slow. They never thought that mere Misfits would cause them much trouble, so they figured there was someone important behind it all.
The question was, who?
Besides, the legal problem was also hitting them angrily.
Although many people were unaware of what was going on in the City, a tension could be sensed only by the powerful.
