During the time of his break, Michael started to focus on things. He was gathering information on Lucien Draven and figuring out how to fool the entire town.
MICHAEL'S MISSIONS GET OLIVIA DRAVEN'S TRUST (for information on Lucien, and because he loves her). MAKE THE WHOLE TOWN LOSE TRUST IN LUCIEN. TAKE ADVANTAGE AND FINISH LUCIEN. TAKE OVER CRIMSON OATH. MISSION #1: OLIVIA DRAVEN
"I want her to like me, but it's hard to do that... though not for someone as charming as I am. I have to know about her."
Michael talks to all of her friends and learns about her.
He learns that:
#1 She wants to be a great doctor.
#2 She is not like her brother and doesn't like fighting.
#3 She wants a husband who can protect her.
"That's all I learned about. Damn, that's easy. It's time to find Olivia."
(He gently says her name.)
"Hey, Olivia!"
"Hi, Mike. How is your arm?"
"Which arm?"
"The left one."
"It's called the one on your shoulder."
"How much more are you going to try?"
"As much as I can, dear Olivia. Well, jokes aside..."
Doctor Olivia Draven: "Michael (who is me) sustained a deep laceration to his left forearm with a partial muscle tear involving the brachioradialis. Fortunately, the radial artery and major nerves are intact, and there is no fracture. However, the arm has suffered considerable soft-tissue damage. He should avoid heavy combat for at least one week, or he risks converting a partial tear into a complete rupture."
(SO LUCKY I LEARNED ALL OF THIS THANKS TO THE NURSE.)
"Wow, Doctor Mike. You sure know a lot of medical stuff."
"Well, I studied that before learning to fight, as it was my dream to become a great doctor, but it couldn't happen. So, I want to see someone related to me become one."
"You speak like someone who's actually studied anatomy."
"Yeah, I have."
"I am trying to be a doctor myself."
"Oh, that's great news, Olivia."
"So, will you help me learn all this?"
"Who can resist that offer? If someone does, he would be a complete idiot."
"Don't you have to fight and do all that stuff?"
"Well, I actually kind of don't like fighting that much because it's a nuisance to the brain, and I just don't like it. But I am good at it, so I am forced to do it."
Olivia thinks,
"He's definitely trying to impress me... but unlike most fighters, he actually listens."
"Dear Olivia, whatever you are thinking is completely correct. I do listen."
Olivia thinks,
"This guy is very good at this kind of stuff."
Michael thinks,
"Time for Crimson Reach to learn about the manipulator."
"The board is here, all the pieces are stacked. Now I have to make the whole town lose Lucien's trust."
"But before that, time to finish the business with Olivia."
(Laughs inside his brain.)
"Hey, Olivia, is it okay if I call you Olive?"
"I think it's fine."
"So, Olive, what do you think about your brother?"
"I HATE HIM!! EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM AND THE FAMILY MAKES ME WANNA BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM! I HATE HIM!!!"
Michael thinks,
(She said it openly in front of Lucien Draven's soldier. That means her trust is mine. Now it's time to use her for the fall of Lucien Draven.)
"Everything is going according to the plan."
Olivia thinks,
"He is weird, but he actually might have something to do with me."
Olivia asks,
"Do you want to destroy my brother?"
"No! I can't do that to my sir. He is very dear to me."
Through the speaker on Olivia's clothes:
"Damn, Mike. He actually is a good person. I was wrong not trusting him." — Lucien Draven
IN THE TOWN
Michael thinks,
"LUCIEN DRAVEN, WHAT DID YOU THINK? WOULD I FALL FOR THIS CHEAP TRICK OF USING YOUR SISTER TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM UP TO? WELL, YOU WERE CLOSE... BUT I WAS ONE STEP AHEAD OF YOU. EVERYTHING IS GOING ACCORDING TO THE PLAN."
THROUGH THE CAMERA
EVEN AFTER I TOLD OLIVIA TO SAY THIS MICHAEL STILL WAS A LOYAL PERSON.
