Chapter 76: Back to work
"I must say, I’m not particularly surprised that Maya used to be an assassin." Calen admitted. "I’m more shocked that Alison decided to take on a massive criminal organisation by herself."

"I’m not even sure to be honest." Alison shrugged. "I took that mission mostly to spite Damien, and I didn’t particularly think it through."
"You wanted to go against your boss? Not really something I would expect you to do." Cassian commented.
"You’d understand if you’ve met Damien." Alfred shook his head. "I spoke to the guy only once, and he was the most insufferable piece of shit I’ve ever met."
Maya nodded in agreement.

"Interesting..." Cassian hummed. "And what that Boris guy? How come you’re the captain now?"

"I still use sickles sometimes, but I started preferring a mace when I got one as a present from Ally."
"You she gave you a weapon as a present?"
