Chapter 5: Time For Business

The old city of Sarton was once a peaceful town, but the aftermath of the 7-year Great War had transformed it into a hub of crime and violence. Gangs roamed the streets, fighting for control of the city's various districts. Among the chaos, one man stood out - Dexter Zak, a notorious arms dealer who lived in a luxurious apartment in the Brenleen district. Dexter was the best in the business, able to procure anything from weapons to information for the right price. He didn't discriminate between clients, selling to the most dangerous people in the city without hesitation. For him, it was just business.

One day, as Dexter left his apartment to attend to his business, he noticed a stranger standing outside, staring at him. Dexter instinctively pulled out his gun, warning the stranger to back off.

"Hey, if you want to do business with me, you need to contact me first," Dexter yelled. "You don't just show up at my doorstep. Do you want to get killed?"

But before Dexter could react further, the stranger vanished into thin air. Confused and startled, Dexter turned around and started running as fast as he could, not daring to look back. Suddenly, he was knocked to the ground and everything went black.

When Dexter came to, he found himself lying on the ground, with two men standing over him. He expected them to kill him, but instead, one of them pulled out a laptop and set it up on a nearby desk.

"Mr. Boss, nice to meet you," the man said, opening the laptop. "Let's do some business."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiJh0qUywt
Dexter's eyes narrowed. "Who are you?"
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1rYDlJ1tn
"My name is Mr. Boss," the man replied. "That's all you need to know."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlhOh0KpHM
Dexter's instincts told him to be cautious, but his curiosity got the better of him. "What do you want from me?"
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXkG7U2Nff
Mr. Boss smiled. "I've heard you're the best arms dealer in the city. I want to hire you as my assistant. You're the best man for the job."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIlcujZiRd
Dexter hesitated, unsure if he wanted to get involved with this mysterious stranger. "Mr. Boss, no disrespect, but I prefer to work alone. The people I do business with are dangerous. One mistake, and they'll kill me."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWl8WLzuYw
Mr. Boss chuckled. "You don't have to worry about that. You'll be working with me now."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4GvFuzhSo
Dexter raised an eyebrow, intrigued despite himself. "Okay, let's do business together. What do you need?"
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIuCi4KwUg
Mr. Boss's expression turned serious. "I need you to get me into the Council."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1wGekSRGn
Dexter's eyes widened. "What? The Council? That's impossible. You need to offer them something in return, or they'll never let you in. Many people have tried to join, but they've all failed. Some have even tried to force their way in, but that only got them killed. You don't want to waste their time if you want to avoid getting killed."

Mr. Boss smiled again, and his companion, Viktor, stepped forward, holding a package. "Let's see about that. Viktor, give him the weapon package."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjD46hpRRs
As Viktor handed Dexter the package, he opened it to find an assortment of advanced energy weapons. He picked up an assault rifle and began firing at random targets, astonished by the destruction it caused. The rifle could penetrate body armor, armored vehicles, and even bulletproof vehicles. This new technology could change the face of warfare.

Dexter walked back to Mr. Boss, impressed. "How did you create this? This assault rifle can change everything. With this, you might just be able to get into the Council. I'll need..."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHMDjc0qj6
Mr. Boss interrupted him, his voice firm. "I'll give you two weeks to set up the meeting. Just two weeks."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDjn2q6LKE
Dexter nodded, a plan forming in his mind. "Okay, two weeks should be fine. I just need to convince them you're a serious businessman. I'll call you with the time and place of the meeting."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjAb3HwO5a
Mr. Boss's expression turned cold. "Dexter, remember, I don't like failure. Don't waste my time, or you'll regret it."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPhAkPvsIP
Dexter swallowed hard, understanding the implicit threat. "I understand. I'll be in contact with you."

As Dexter walked away, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He had just made a deal with a mysterious and potentially deadly Partner. But he also knew that this could be the opportunity of a lifetime, one that could take his business to the next level. The question was, would he be able to navigate the treacherous world of the Council and come out on top, or would he become the latest casualty of Sarton's violent underworld?
