Chapter 505: 21
"Good point sir," Letty bowed slightly, "I don't think the humans could stop you as they are now. Let alone me."
That crazy smirk sent shivers down my spine. Ice spread across the surface of the table from the points I was touching as that disturbance was reflected in my mana. I leaned back in my chair so I wouldn't freeze the whole table.
"That butler of yours scares you doesn't he?" Snider announced to the whole table.
I didn't like that the fact that Letty creeped me out was so obvious to those around me. My first instinct whenever he opened his mouth was to shut up, and listen. My body screamed that he could kill me any instant the same way a human might if a gun was pointed at their head.
"I suggest we avoid that subject," I cracked my neck to ease my discomfort, "Letty is far more powerful than me. That is all I'm willing to say about it."
"Forgive me for a moment," Letty spoke gently, "There is some trouble down below."
Letty split into two different Letty's. Both of which were full sized versions of himself. Fully clothed, and completely identical. His duplicate dropped into the shadows, and left the range of my senses. Which should have been impossible since my spatial awareness blanketed the entire camp, and well beyond it.
I did sense ten people vanishing from my senses along with the double. I stared at Letty for a short while before returning my attention to the people around the table.
"I think it would be fair for me to pay you six billion credits for the land," I shrugged, "Or something of equivalent value. I should be able to pay it off in a year should you agree to sell me the land."
"I fail to see how an animal like yourself could own land," Magnus's voice sent irritation through both myself, and Savannah.
I might have reacted to his baiting if Ethan hadn't mentally sent me a mental image of Magnus in a bikini. The anger of the baiting, and the humor balanced out. Preventing me from laughing or getting angry. A slow smirk spread across my face as I focused on Magnus.
"I guess I should be thanking my lucky stars that it isn't your decision," I wanted to snigger, "You don't have enough authority to make the decision, and you wouldn't have the power to enforce it if you did."
The humor of the whole situation hit me when I thought about it seriously. My smirk turned to a smile as I started laughing.
"Technically none of you have the authority to sell me this land," I drummed my fingers on the table, "Telling you my interest in purchasing this land does very little for the actual reason for this meeting. So," I rolled my shoulders as I leaned on the table once again, "Why don't we get back to why we're holding this meeting? A cease fire would benefit both of our parties."
"You've been openly hostile with us on multiple occasions," The tired looking man at the other end of the table spoke up again, "We have no reason to believe you will cease your hostile actions if we do agree."
I slapped the table hard as I revealed the black threads that were trailing from him, and where they were being stopped by me. I was defending both myself, and Aurora from two of these threads. She growled when she realized that she was being threatened. I wasn't protecting Letty. The thread that was aimed at him had penetrated his chest.
"Bold of you to say that when you've been actively threatening our lives this entire time," My nails lengthened becoming more claw like as they dug into the table, "What power is that exactly? I can tell that its dangerous. Tell me Letty. You didn't bother to block it. What did his power do to you?"
"I believe he was attempting to make your heart explode," Letty answered my question with a shrug, "Such trivial damage doesn't bother someone such as me."
The fact that he thought of that as trivial was creepy as well. Sure I could survive my heart exploding as well, but that didn't make it trivial. I would definitely be panicking if my heart exploded. It would take me a terrifying minute to repair that kind of damage.
"Its humorous that I expected you to do something like this," I dragged my nails through the stone of the table, "I have done exactly what I said I would do. I have been honest with you deceitful humans. Yet you've attempted to kill me on multiple occasions."
I stood up as scales spread up my arms to my shoulders, and around the edges of my face.
"But you're right," I tapped my claws on the table, "I have been openly hostile on multiple occasions, when I was threatened. I should have just rolled over, and let you kill me. Its not as if I'm a living thinking being that wants to live."
I kept myself mostly human in appearance as I looked down on them. I'd grown about three inches taller as well, but that wasn't something that was easily noticeable unless you were standing next to me.
"I do plan to infiltrate the Elven world," My demeanor turned completely serious.
There was no more humor to my tone or elusive glances to my bonded. I was completely focused on the military officials before me.
"I do plan to do some damage while I'm there," I resisted the urge to tap my claws on the table, "I want you to leave me alone while I'm preparing to harass our common enemy, and I want you to continue to leave me alone while I'm harassing them. That is all I want. If you cannot accept that then you will have a hostile entity on your planet. One that is powerful enough to take on the entire planet." I shrugged, "And I mean that literally. I could stand against you on my own without the aid of this freakishly strong, and ancient vampire for quite some time before you could amass the strength required to kill me."
