24. Take Control of the Situation

For any strategist delving into the murky waters of sketchy transactions set the stage for a rendezvous that would make a spy nod in approval.

This maneuver, as swift as it is smart, leaves little room for unwelcome surprises, outmaneuvering potential setups with the agility of a streetwise fox. It’s not paranoia; it’s tactical prudence, ensuring that in a world where trust is a currency as counterfeit as a three-dollar bill, you remain one step ahead.
