I was able to get there in time to save Kazbek and Bekkan. It was their time to get a free day off to hang out and drink for free. They seemed to enjoy that. As we were all hanging out together, I heard that they were both very unlucky in love. I was not shaming them for that. They looked sad about it enough as it is. I looked at them and said they should look for girlfriends if they wanted. They were unsure if they would have the time to seek partners in love. We did not want the place undefended. I just sighed and decided to just upgrade the Security of the brewery to 3 stars. That way, there would be 2 guys outside with shotguns to stop the scouts from coming in. That way, Kazbek and Bekkan could take time off and we would not have to worry about an invasion from hostile actors. They showed up the very next day. Another thing that came in was a job. Brandon told me that I had a very big opportunity. The Diamond Butterflies had something that they needed done. I was in the Blue Codex, so it was easy to get doctor jobs. I also had a nice kill count. I got a job to kill a thug that offended them.
Just based on having the connection of Brandon, this was a local job. This one came from the lieutenant of the Red Light district. He was an outdoor guard at a drug lab. I noticed that it was owned by the Scarlet Vipers. I really did not know too much about them as a faction. That did not phase me at all. I decided to take it. Emilio looked at me skeptically. "Are you really sure about this?" he asked. I looked at him. "Going at this scatter shot might get you killed, Martino. Who knows how many gangs you are going to piss off to get 10 jobs for them?" he warned. This was true. He was on track to get into the Devil Crew. If our factions went to war, we might have to fight each other to the death. I looked at him. His name was Ismail Godina. This thug killed a scout from the Diamond Butterflies. The scout was trying to cause problems. The guy sampled without paying. The Diamond Butterflies was an actual mafia gang, not a religious charity. It was not out of the ordinary for pieces of shit to be employed by them. They guy had backing. "You could always come with and take out this fucker." I smirked.
Killing him together would be even easier. He smiled at me. I thought that he was actually going to help me out. Emilio instead pat me on the shoulder. "Good luck with a life of killing. I'm just not that kind of guy. I'll stick with the doctor stuff." he said. That would probably be for the best. He did not have to be a major assassin. I could do that all by myself. Nicolò would probably be a good killer though. Something that was needed was the will to kill and a high amount of skill with a weapon. There was not a single thing that could hurt me at this stage. I did not have a significant other. I did not have kids either. I was a Player, so death was not permanent. Maybe something would change later on in the game. For now, I was able to do what I wanted. I knew where Ismail worked from the details of the job. The drug lab was a few blocks. Their place was a level 3 racket. That meant that there were a group of them at the place. They were all holding shotguns too. I would need to figure out a way to get him all alone. An inspiration hit me. I had an idea that just might work. I was going to go get this guy.
