Chapter 159: Aria Has Had Enough
Kaiden’s eyes narrowed. His mouth opened, ready to tell Sasha exactly where she could shove her suggestion. But before he could utter a word, Aria’s voice cut through the tension like a razor blade dipped in frost. Her usual serenity was nowhere to be seen.
"Enough."
Everyone turned toward the Moon Valkyrie, whose silver-blue eyes now gleamed with a steely light.
"I’m so glad to hear your opinions," Aria said in a polite, composed, but very chilling tone. "But let’s remind ourselves of one thing. You’re rookies."
Sasha blinked, confused. "Excuse me?"
"You’re rookie members of Nova Circuit," Aria explained. "The agreement made wasn’t between you, Sasha. Nor you, Vaelira. Certainly not you, Jack."
Her gaze passed over each of them slowly, staring into their eyes.
"The deal was struck between Valhalla’s Sinners and Tessa, the leader of your guild."
She tilted her head to the side as a hostile edge seeped into her expression. "Unless one of you has suddenly become guild master or been granted the right to negotiate on behalf of Nova Circuit, your opinions are meaningless. You are owed nothing."
Once done with her statement, Aria smiled, but the friendly gesture didn’t reach her eyes.
