Commander Markos was surprised when he saw the footage of humanity's first true victory, no death, and they deal massive damage, and what's more, they manage to get a lot of spoils of war.
Markos forgot how many times he has watched the footage, and he couldn't help grinning every time.
But every time he thinks of negotiating with Dianna he can't help frowning. So instead he sent vice-admiral Sheila Jones and Lisa.
They were the ones originally assigned as a liaison of GFA to negotiate with Grand Trading and this time they want a lot of Drones especially the Shield and weapons.
Unfortunately for them Dianna wasn't just dealing with them anymore, The Coalition also wants those Drones, Shields, and weapons and with the materials, Dianna gets as payments from GFA she won't have any problem of material shortage anytime soon.
When Sheila and Lisa went to Grand Trading HQ in Liberty Dianna was in a meeting with the representative of the Coalition. And The Coalition is a lot richer than GFA or even all humanity superpowers combined. After all the Coalition is made up of many alien forces. And their territory is huge, so they have many resource planets under them.
And this time the Coalition wants to cooperate with Grand Trading they want grand trading to become part of the Coalition, but Dianna refused and wants to maintain their neutral stands against all defending forces.
The Coalition offered Dianna many things, but she remains passive, so the Coalition couldn't do anything but trade with Grand Trading. Like any other forces.
Sheila and Lisa were surprised when they saw the Coalition representative in Dianna's office Nevertheless they waited in the next room until Dianna was done dealing with the Coalition representative. 30 minutes later the Coalition representative left. And Dianna goes to be with Sheila and Lisa who were waiting.
"Vice-admiral, and Lisa. What brings you here? Sorry for the wait.' Said, Dianna smiling.
"No worries were the ones who came unannounced." Said Sheila smiling trying to hide her nervousness, she knows negotiating with Dianna was hard.
"So what brings you here?" Dianna asked while she sits down in front of them.
Of course, Dianna can already guess why, but she still asked just to be polite.
"Well, you can already probably guess why we're here. GFA wants more weapons, drones, and Shields." Said Lisa.
"I see," Dianna frowned.
Sheila saw it and asked. "Is it the coalition?"
"That's right, they ordered a lot, and since we already signed the contract. You have to wait until theirs are done." Said, Dianna.
Sheila frowned, "is there any other way?"
"I told you guys the first time, better order more since we have a lot of customers, unlike before when you guys are our only buyer. Now we have a lot." Said, Dianna who shrugged off her shoulder.
"Sighs, let me talk to my superiors." Said Sheila sighing.
"Go ahead I don't think it will change anything though." Said, Dianna.
"20 minutes later Sheila is back. I have my superiors on the line they want to talk with you" said Sheila.
"Sure," said Dianna with a smile.
Lisa put down some devices and the hologram of all the top elders of GFA was displayed.
"Hello CEO Dianna. My name is Dave I'm one of the elders of GFA is there a way to take our order first?"
"Sighs, Elder Dave I'm afraid it's not going to be easy as we already sign a contract with the Coalition."
"So if we go with the order normally how long before we receive our orders?" Said one of the elders.
Dianna thinks for a bit. And said. "The soonest one year the latest 2 years."
"That's too long! Where all humanity here can't you reconsider?" Said another elder.
When Markos and the rest heard it they frown. But didn't say anything. Dianna saw the one who has spoken and recognizes him. He was an HFA representative to GFA.
"I'm sorry who are you?" Asked Dianna even though she already knows.
"I'm Edmond an elder from HFA."
"I see said Dianna, you said we're all part of humanity, but how long have HFA been oppressing the Earth the birthplace of humanity for? Are they not part of your so-called humanity?" Said Dianna with a cold voice.
When the elder heard it he frowned. "We're not talking about Earth!"
"You're not, but I am!" Said, Dianna. She looks at the elder straight from the eyes and said. "So are they not part of your so-called humanity?"
The elder gnashed his teeth but didn't reply.
"What's wrong? Did I ask a wrong question?" Said, Dianna.
"Alright we're getting out of topic, are we not talking about ordering?" Said another elder with an annoyed voice.
Dianna looks at them with a cold-looking face and said. "Not anymore! You will get your order after were done with everything else if you don't like it go buy it somewhere else. Goodbye!"
The elders were stunned even Markos and Sheila were stunned only Lisa remains calm like she was expecting it. She knows Dianna temperament above anyone else in this room she knows Dianna is far more Hardass than Arc ever was.
And before any elder could react Dianna already turn around and was leaving.
Markos immediately reacted and said. "Miss Dianna, please don't do this lets talk again."
"Dianna stop walking and turn around, and said "my Boss likes you a lot commander so ill give you another chance. Here are my conditions, first I want the HFA space station second, I want all HFA forces and business on earth removed, and lastly, I want HFA to never ever step on earth again. Do that, and I will find a way to prioritize your order I'll even give you a huge discount." Said Dianna smiling.
It looks like a beautiful smile but to the elders, it was a she-demon smile especially to the representative of HFA.
"After all, As you have said we are all part of humanity I just want humanity to be freed from being oppressed." She then looks at the elder from HFA. "It's a small condition, after all, like you said it was all for humanity."
Markos sighs, he knows there no more changing her mind. So he looks at the Elder from HFA, in fact, he wasn't the only one looking but all the other elders.
"No! That's impossible..." Said the elders from HFA.
"So I guess people from the earth are not part of your so-called humanity, unfortunately from you guys Grand Trading is from Earth. We're done here! You'll get your orders when I deal with everything else. Goodbye gentlemen."
This time Dianna left for good and no one stops her. Sheila and Lisa could only shake their heads.
Sheila left the room and so only Lisa and Tiffa remain.
"Hahaha, Lisa don't be so tensed, relaxed you did your job let just eat some snacks." Said Tiffa laughing trying to break the tense atmosphere.
"You! Sigh. Well, whatever let's eat." Said Lisa she slumped back on the chair and began eating snacks with Tiffa
Dianna returns and just smiles at the two who were on the couch in front of her table eating snacks and drinking tea.
30 minutes later Sheila returned and when she saw the two she was speechless. "You two! What... Darn… sighs… Fuck whatever I'll go eat too." So she joins the two eating snacks and drinking tea.
Tiffa giggles. Well, no offense to you both but some of your elders are Dicks and assholes. Said Tiffa while eating snacks.
"None taken, we don't like them too, but we don't have a choice we were working for them after all." Said Sheila.
"Then why don't you quit your job and work for us instead!" Said Tiffa.
The two look at Tiffa for a few seconds seeing her serious face Sheila said: "you serious?"
"Of course."
