Prologue

"Stop taking Miss Mika to the slum! You're reducing a godfather's posthumous child into a street rat!"

But Brandon wouldn't listen. People from wealthy households like Norton only knew prestige, a useless thing in the streets. Those who grew up in the slums survived better; deception could rarely get past them and unlike Millennion agents, they knew to use their fists and boots in fights. And no Millennion guardsmen could match a thug's cautiousness.

So today, after reading the weather forecast, he would go against Norton's order again. Imparting his knowledge of the streets was his duty as Mika's "daddy."
