You know, in this world, you either eat or get eaten. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, and I've learned that the hard way. Growing up in the Mexican cartel, survival wasn't just a choice; it was a necessity. You had to be ruthless, cunning, and always one step ahead of your enemies.
Embracing the Chaos
From an early age, I knew that life wasn't going to be easy for me. But instead of cowering away from the chaos around me, I embraced it. I thrived in situations where others would crumble under pressure. The adrenaline rush of danger fueled my every move.
Loyalty above all else
In this line of work, loyalty is everything. Betrayal can cost you your life faster than a bullet through the head. That's why I always make sure those around me know where their loyalties lie - with me and only me.
Playing both sides
One thing about being part of a cartel is that you have to play both sides to survive. You never know who might turn on you or when alliances might shift. Being able to navigate these treacherous waters requires finesse and skill - qualities that have kept me alive until now.
Dealing with betrayal
But even someone as skilled as myself isn't immune to betrayal. When Hector turned against our family and tried to take control for himself... Let's just say things got messy real quick.
It was either him or us at that point – no room for sentimentality when survival is on the line.
I did what needed doing because loyalty above all else means keeping those close safe from any threat – no matter how big they may seem at first glance!
Constantly looking over my shoulder
Nowadays? Well let’s just say paranoia has become my closest friend lately- constantly checking behind corners waiting fearfully should anyone come after what belongs rightfully mine.. My reputation precedes itself so best believe folks gonna think twice before crossing paths again!
So here we are today: still standing tall despite all odds stacked against us but hey… such risks are par for course living life amongst wolves like these! And if ever need arises remember Lalo Salamanca doesn’t back down without fight!
