@Delu Depends on how far each party is thinking. If Party A is thinking 2 steps ahead but Party B is thinking 4 steps ahead Party A is gonna get fucked because of no counter-measures.
@Delu nah. The MC knew what Park (white smoking dude) was doing and accepted the deal knowing whats going on (hes a bait for the whole skull guild thing coming out), but Park thinks the MC is putting his life on the line while hes just messing with everyone at the same time while nobody knows much about him, plus the fact hes not on any major guild (and is newbie) so hes not on anyone's bad side nor on their radar for threats.
@ShionSinX that's what's called a mutually beneficial deal, Park gets a bait and MC gets the cash. It's not like Park would refuse the deal if he knew MC was strong.
What MC was referring to as bait was the whole Skull Guild idea that he planted on Park's head.
@jorgeDS I dont think thats it. I think Park though he got a free bait for his plans but MC is one step ahead already. For Park it would be better if after the Skull Guild comes out after him and they get them (and make them talk) they'd kill the MC on the process so nobody would know about it. If not Park would need to keep cooperating with the MC (which will probably happen as, well, MC not gonna die).
