Chapter 223 - The Beginning Of The Plan (1/2)
”War? I thought we'd just wait for a good moment, break into the vault, kill the guards, take the loot, and get out of there fast.” Said Roland.
”That's not a bad option, but I'm afraid we'll have to wait a very long time for the right moment. I suggest we create that moment ourselves. I think you know that Paper Hydrangea has a conflict with the Hell Bulls?” Proclaimed Evan.
Roland nodded and said: ”Yes, but I doubt this conflict will turn into a real war. The other three organizations have no interest in letting Inlas wallow in the flames of war.”
”I understand this as much as you do, but I have an idea. ”The Hell Bulls are after me, which is why I decided to settle on Paper Hydrangea territory.”
”What are you implying?” Roland asked.
Evan smirked and said: ”I'll provoke the Hell Bulls and get to a certain place where you bring at least someone from Paper Hydrangea. We only need to create one small spark for the flames to take over the whole town.”
”And then?”
”Then, when the massive scuffle starts, we put on masks and infiltrate the Paper Hydrangea vaults. We can go to other organizations' vaults, too, but it's too dangerous.” Evan calmly explained.
Paper Hydrangea was the most interested party in destroying the Hell Bulls. Therefore, they would send the largest number of people to the battle against the Hell Bulls. Other organizations would most likely try to stop the carnage first, and only then would they fight in full force.
Roland smiled quite a bit: ”Great plan, I think I can talk them into it if you can provoke the Hell Bulls. Assuming we succeeded, what are our escape routes?”
”I'm going with my sister to the big city up north. If you want, you can come with us or not, it's not that important to me.” Proclaimed Evan.
”Okay.” Roland nodded and said, ”Then I think we should discuss the whole plan again and in more detail.”
...
For the next few hours, Evan and Roland thought about the plan in detail. They discussed the time, the place, what needed to be prepared. How they would act and what they would do in certain situations. Unlike Evan, this was the first time Roland had committed a heist with the cover of a real war in the middle of a crime-ridden city. He was more of a listener than a proposer, but Roland had information Evan didn't have.
Without it, Evan would not have been able to proceed with the plan. Roland's good relationship with Paper Hortense was their biggest bargaining chip.
The most dangerous part of the plan was the Hell Bulls' provocation. If Evan was unlucky, he could easily be killed. But if they wouldn't get the two organizations to fight among themselves, they certainly would fail.
