West smirked faintly.
"Yeah," he replied. "I'm counting on it."
And with that, he walked off into the distance.
West wasn't planning to join Iron Chain… or any gang for that matter.
He only said "I'll think about it" because it was the oldest trick in human history: lie politely and escape alive. If he'd said no outright, they'd keep pressing. If he'd insulted them, they'd keep pressing with fists. So he did what any sane person would do when three awakened gang members were breathing down his neck.
He lied.
Although, he had taken them down very quickly, what the other loud mouthed mentioned wasn't exactly invalid. He sneaked attacked them. In a direct confrontation where both sides are well aware that they're getting into a fight, anything could happen. They were awakened after all.
