(Author's POV)
Listening to Brian's offer, a calculative greed gleamed in Garry's eyes. He had done all sorts of menial, unethically tedious tasks for his boss and the underworld for the past ten years. A decade's worth of dirty work and yet he still held the post of a mere dealer. His boss would shower him with shallow praise and give him empty promises from time to time, but he remained stuck in the shadows.
He wanted power~ …. he wanted prestige~ …. he wanted honour~ …. he wanted everything~ …. but most of all~ …. what he desired was to snatch away and take over the role of the boss of this underground den. He had been vying for it all along.
He extended his hand without much hesitation, as a smirk spread across his lips. Then and there, the verbal deal was signed in room 888. That was his first biggest mistake.
