Ref — briefing
Good to see you, gladiator. I see you're still resisting. I've been trying to get you the very best battles. Bribing people to put some of the shittiest mercs against you. Proving something to people. And what do I get in return? What is this shit? You want to quit? To sleep in peace? It's not gonna work. Listen. I like you, and I see you're clearly a capable gunfighter. You want to have a moral high ground, so be it. All I can offer you is a little mercy. In the last few matches, a couple of big shots have been betting high on headshot kills. For you, it's quick mercy kills without suffering, and for me, it's a good opportunity to justify your involvement. And the cash, naturally.
