Graveyard of the living

The Framing Gambit

He then took the dog's body to a nearby forest and buried it there. He wrote "I will make her pay" on a rock and placed it above the grave. He then left for Japan, but this time with different goals. Afterward, he went to meet one of his old friends in the USA. He entered an abandoned dark room in LA. The light was flickering, and four more people were there along with his friend.

Walter: "It's been a while, Loid. How are you doing?" he said, holding something on paper.

Loid: "Forget about me. How is your business going?"

Walter inhaled something from the paper and said, "Can't you see?"

Loid: "I assume not well."

Walter stood up, and so did his companions.

Loid: "Easy, my friend."

Walter slowly marched toward him and grabbed him by his collar.

Walter: "Did you come here to make fun of me?"

Loid: "I came to help."

Walter, after hearing that, said, "Hey, you guys heard what he just said? A member of Tenbu is going to help us with our deal."

Everyone in the room laughed.

Walter: "Get lost before I make up my mind to kill you."

Loid walked past him and sat in his place, leaving Walter shocked.

Loid: "You know that you can't do it. Even if you try, you know well that I can take you all on."

Walter: "In hand-to-hand combat, I know we are outmatched, but what about guns?"

Loid: "Fine, then do it."

Loid looked into Walter's eyes and said, "Didn't you say you were going to kill me? Then do it. What are you afraid of?"

Walter sat on a seat next to him and said, "Go home, damn it. We are already frustrated."

Loid: "You know that if you were to kill me, the whole world would turn against you. Killing a Tenbu member means you won't just be killed by the cops. They will torture you until you die."

Walter: "Why are you here? To make fun of me?"

Loid: "I am here to make money. Let me work with you."

He said that while staring into Walter's eyes. After that gaze, Walter knew he wasn't lying and agreed.

Walter: "So when do we start the business?"

Loid stood up and said, "From now, pack your drugs."

Walter stood up and said, "Say what? Are you out of your mind?"

Days passed, and after two months, they made millions. They were in the same dark room, but this time, there was proper lighting. Food was on their table, and they were drinking fine red wine.

Walter: "So what now? Are you going to continue?"

Loid: "Making money was my secondary goal."

Walter: "Then what was your primary goal?"

Loid: "Revenge."

Walter: "So you're going to take revenge now?"

Loid finished his wine, stood up from his seat, and said, "I am going to start my own company. I will be the owner, and you will be the CEO."

Walter spit his wine and stood up, everyone else following suit.

Walter: "Not a chance."

Loid: "Think, you moron. I am saving you from the cops. If you work in my company, nobody will question you about your money, and you will be safe. That goes for all of you."
