Master Tang shook his head.
"Kid, it will matter. Fear worked better than most tools. We just needed the others to see they couldn't push their agenda without facing retaliation, and this would also show that we aren't afraid to get our hands dirty."
Once again, I noticed a lot of holes in his reasoning.
"But doesn't that defeat the whole purpose? You said before that Darkness and the Order are in a delicate balance. They would know the hit came from us from miles away. Only a fool wouldn't connect the dots."
"Oh, they would. But without proof, they couldn't point a finger. And the Order wasn't the only group standing against Darkness. Plenty of others were already fed up with them."
His request was a bit unreasonable, yet turning it down right away might put me in a bad light. The Order's pull and reach still played a big part in the plans I wanted to push forward.
"What's in it for me? And don't say money. I already have more than enough."
