Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2582

2582 Frail Alliance (Part 2)

If that's how little you think of me, why should I even get involved in this project?"

"Because doing otherwise would be a breach of our deal." Feela replied.

"We have given the members of the Organization access to our Warp Network, IDs that allow you to walk in the Empire and the Kingdom without hiding like the criminals you are, and we've pressured the Royals in their deal with Verhen per your request."

At those words, Lith's eyes went wide and he turned toward Zoreth.

"We did what we thought best, little brother. We never told you about this because we didn't want you to feel indebted." She replied with a shrug.

"The Organization, instead, has yet to uphold its side of our bargain." Feela continued to speak, ignoring the interruption. "We are just asking you to do as you promised and refusing your services would force us to revoke the privileges we have granted to the Organization."

"Fine." Bytra crossed her arms in front of her chest, her eyes blazing with black and yellow mana in outrage. "You are lucky that I don't want to cause a bloodbath every time I go visit my goddaughter or this conversation would have a different ending."

Being part of the Organization's price tag was already bad, but having his daughter used as leverage against Zoreth was even worse.

'Fucking bastards!' Lith thought. 'Zoreth was sincere when she told me that she doesn't call me "little brother" lightly. She has always been by my side during the War of the Griffons and this is how the Council treats her?

'I don't know how, but I'll find a way to make them pay.'

"Excellent decision." Feela said with a huge victory smile on her face that matched Raagu's. "Then the only things that remain to be decided are where to relocate your people before moving them to Jiera and the terms for our Forgemasters and Healers to study the Harmonizers."

"Not so fast." Ryla shook her head. "We have a few demands of our own."

"What more do you want?" Raagu rose an eyebrow in annoyance. "More? The only thing you is survival in exchange for *our* granted us Harmonizers and putting our lives on the lines for *your* battle. That's hardly a prize, especially considering that we and Lord Morok will become your test subjects in *your* experiments to further *your* evolution.

"We are offering much, especially to the human Council, and receiving little in return so it's only fair that we balance the scales a little."

"Sounds fair." Raagu nodded. "Tell us what you want and we'll give it to you. Within reason, of course."

Lith could feel that after learning that humans could really evolve, her tone and posture had softened. Raagu was still a bitter old bat, but now she was a hopeful bitter old bat.

"First, my people need to be provided with food until our departure. It will allow us to increase our numbers and form balanced units comprised of all tribes that will ensure our survival when dealing with the monster tides." The Fomor said.

"It's reasonable. Continue."

"Also, we refuse to be relocated." That request made the Council members wince. "Zelex is our ancestral home and its arrays are our only defense against your overwhelming forces.
