Kurt writing the contract for both of us, had it ready. The terms were pretty straightforward.
Kurt here would invest in me now. Within the five-year time frame, I would have to kill the man known as Ricardo Mullen. And once I kill the man, Kurt here would give me something equal to the value of the grimoire.
If I don't kill Ricardo Mullen within five years, I will have to pay Kurt back double the price of the investment he made.
And for the punishment of not killing, paying back will have my heart crushed. The failure of this job was horrifying, but making that amount or killing Ricardo wouldn't be that hard.
"I signed it. Now give me the grimoire and the medical supplies."
"Here, take it."
The owner had handed me the things needed. He didn't hesitate since he would get something out of this either way.
"Aren't you even curious about why I want him dead?"
"Honestly, no."
