Leon spent the entire day setting up their new trading hub, for the second time Leon had to organize the warehouse setting up traps and an auto turret that had somehow survived the crash. Just as he finished up he heard something crash before someone screamed in pain, sighing Leon traced the sound all the way back to where Uvogin had his leg stuck in a bear trap. Both Machi and Nobunaga looked down at him shaking their heads.
" I told you he set traps but you wouldn't listen. " Machi of course wasn't wasting any time as she berated Uvogin, " Can you just shut up and help me. " Walking over Leon deactivated the trap, " Stay still the teeth were poisoned if your blood circulates too quickly I might have to cut off the leg. "
Uvogin paled, " Is that true, please tell me you have an antidote I can't lose a leg. " Leon stuck out his tongue and smiled, " Just kidding. " Uvogin glared at Leon but Nobunaga's laughter drowned out anything Uvogin was trying to say.
" Come on the teeth probably hit a vein with your luck. Go sit down over there and be quiet. " Grumbling Uvogin obeyed Machi. " Did you guys at least spread the word about our little operation? "
" Yeah, we also found some muscle that we can hire, is everything good to start tomorrow. " Leon nodded, " Tell me the location of the muscle I'll go check it out. Don't touch anything also just in case here the antidote, just pour it on the wound. " Tossing Machi a vile Leon got the location from Nobunaga and ran before Uvogin could chase after him, ' I wonder how he's going to react to the pure alcohol I gave Machi. '
Checking the location on more time Leon walked into the alley, after a few steps the alley opened up into a hidden alcove completely surrounded by ramshackle walls. Ignoring the looks he garnered Leon looked over the gaunt faces until he sensed someone looking at him.
Looking over his shoulder Leon saw a somewhat well-dressed man starring at him. He had greased back hair with a pale face a thin nose where a pair of equally thin glasses sat on his face.
In his right hand, the man played with a golden coin smiling Leon walked over, " What do you want. " Leon smiled, " Can you use Nen. " The man scratched his neck, " Ah yes I'm an enhancer, and I can handle myself against most other Nen users. " Leon smiled, " Great, while me and my friends can handle ourselves well enough, we need a face for our operations. Consider yourself hired Mr.... "
" Gotoh sir, shall we get going. "
Back at the warehouse, Leon gave Gotoh a tour as he would be in charge of everything from taking inventory to hiring staff.
" Leon, you son of a bitch!!!! "
" Well, Gotoh I think you have everything you need to get started I'll leave you to it. " Turning around Leon ran away as Uvogin peeled around the corner steam rising from his head, " I'm going to shit down your throat. "
Gotoh sighed as he adjusted his glasses, " At least he has some form of respect, and to know of Nen at such a young age I wonder what his background is. " Flipping his coin Gotoh looked over the inventory list Leon had given him, ' With this, he can charge whatever he wants, just what is his goal. "
Panting Leon looked around to see that he had finally lost Uvogin, ' It couldn't have hurt that badly, but I haven't tested it before. '
" Leon what are you doing here. " Looking over at the voice Leon saw Pakunoda staring at him, " I could ask you the same question. " Raising an eyebrow Pakunoda shrugged, " Well I don't really care it's just that Uvogin is furious about something, and I have a sneaking suspicion it's because of you. "
" Little old me, I couldn't even harm a fly. " Rolling her eyes Pakunoda flicked Leon in the forehead, " We have info on another mafia stash, we might want to raid it. Everyone's back at the base. " Rubbing his forehead Leon shrugged, " As our strategist, I should really be the first one to hear of this. "
" Well, we would but no one could find you and nice touch with the alcohol bit. " Grinning Leon puffed up his chest, " Finally someone has recognized my genius. "
Back at the base, Leon rubbed the bump forming on his head from when Pakunoda punched him, " Okay now that we're all here we can finally go over what we know. " Pakunoda laid out a drawing of the building they were going to attack, " There are a total of fifty guards around the compound, tomorrow a truck with supplies should pull up sometime around seven with a bunch of supplies. All we need to do is nab the truck and get out, after that we're home free. "
