Specifically, Aldrich wanted Z She was the y The fact that she was the creator of the fake CID (citizen identification) teenius on par with or even above Panopticon higherups
”Now then,” Aldrich turned to Z “Does my deal sound a little better?”
”To me, it doesn’tfor a fight Unlike Gerard, I don’t have so ry The services I provide in the criminal underworld are utterly unmatched
Even if the Dark Six replaces ht rack in fewer credits, but I don’t need ”
”Ah, looks like with you, I’ve lost e, then,” said Aldrich “What about security? With a s, you have less manpower to defend yourself with And now more than ever’s the time to have manpower”
”Quality over quantity” Z motioned behind her to Knife “A s individuals to secure our safety But that is, of course, at my current level of risk
Clint does not care at all about risk, and Gerard has h to cover the Hawks against the Dark Six even without partnering with you

Aldrich nodded “I’ll take that as a yes then?”
”You may,” said Z
”That’s three for me, 1 rejection, and 2 neutral parties,” said Aldrich
”That’s enough support I’ too hard about these kind of things, but if Z and Gerard support you with their big brains, then I will too”
”Haha, you and otta learn how to live soine you living er,” said Z
”What’s life without risk, huh? Just a boring ol’ shi+tshow,” said Clint proudly
”A very short show, yes,” sighed Gerard “You youths have no concept of what it’s like to reach a ripe old age likein its oay”
