Yet another brilliant plan
The more Tristan thought about his plan, the better it sounded. After he finished with the details, all that was left was to offer it to Leon or Pierce.
Before that, though, Tristan spent a few hours managing his social networks. His performance on TV was a promotion he HAD to use to boost his online popularity!
He posted some casual pictures online with kind words to anyone reading them, thanked his supporters, and asked if people wanted to hear covers for any specific songs.
By evening, Tristan switched an identity and drove to his criminal business. Today was the day when Tristan usually gathered protection fees he had to pass to Pierce later.
One of the business owners tried to get pity from Tristan, telling about "bad times" and asking for a delay in his payment. This was a common situation, and the only right response was to break something before a delay for "a few days" turned into a delay for a few forevers.
