To forming alliances with untalented people who swarmed together like insects, fueled only by greed and the hunger for power, but who had no will to reach their goals on their own. He still had not forgotten how the mafia had idly sat by and watched the atrocities the Estraneo had committed, and that it wasn't anyone who had saved him, but it had been Faustino alone who had clawed and killed his way out of his fate.

He canted his head to the side, smirking sharply.]
Don't worry, egregio signor, you'll always be my favorite old man to work with. You're not completely devoid of energy and youth just yet.
