Chapter 41: Negotiation Part II
The girl introduced as Albertus had a fire lit her eyes and looked like she could pounce on me any second. If anything, it was almost unbelievable that she had not already done so.
I returned the Keeper’s stare.
The weird man whose thoughts I cannot seem to decipher, rubbed two thinly gloved hands together and a very unpleasant expression adorned his face.
“Didn’t expect that? Neither did I. The one in your grasp seems to be more valuable than anything else to the Destroyer. Although, it’s hunting I specialize in–.”
“I need some time to decide.”
“You can’t have any.”
Upon hearing my response, Albertus gripped the table and bared her teeth at me. Her thin fingers dug into and made cracks on the thick wooden table. Quite the terrifying strength considering that it did not seem like her physical abilities were enhanced by positive energy.
That said, I could easily do the same.
I broke the rules we had set and fed more on Senri than needed because I had predicted that the opponents would be powerful. I did not come here willy-nilly without a plan.
