green phoenix lowkey steps on everyones toes and its really funny
Find an 11 year old girl? Raise her for 6 years for your master plan of overthrowing the leader. Its a little crazy to become a guardian for six whole years just to make the leader believe you mastered a sword technique, but hey, hes a man with a plan. Perfection takes time.
your old coworker is back from the dead? Dont panic!! Have your disciple kill him for you.
Oh shit. They fell in love. Thats okay, immediately find a way to use him for your overthrowing plan. Even if that means sending him on a wild goose chase to another country, only for you to stab him and have him get jumped by 40 different people. Its all coming together in phoenix's plethora of cards up his sleeve. Dont even threaten or force the guy to go either. He'll do it for the sake of his existential crisis.
Just as you think of this conundrum, your bitch coworker redtooth mildy inconveniences you by trying to kill him because he has unresolved feelings for his girlfriend 10 years ago. Fuck, this always happens! So you kill him. There seems to be a pattern of Phoenix's plans getting fucked up due to characters falling in love.
It also turns out that raising an orphan girl for 6 years comes with emotions and obligations. Just as your plan is about to succeed, she gets captured and you realize you're not just her stepfather, but the father who stepped up. Now you're imprisoned in a mountain, but you have morals now, and friends. Gp leaving his goals to the next generation of assassins is wonderful. He cant judge thirteen for betraying him for seven. Who does he think she learned it from? Everybody is just a pawn on his chessboard, but in the end the boards on fire and he decides there is more to life than winning, so he shields his own chess pieces from the flames. (This is a terrible analogy)
