"We'll see about that," he said before waving the contract in his hand, "but this thing… the price you are asking…"
"Don't tell me it's that high," I said while raising one eyebrow.
"It's not about being over or little," he sighed, "but I don't hold such authority to decide for other cities."
The price I asked for was to grant me total access and a chance to contend over the cities lying on this side of the continent. Of course I knew he would bargain, but I didn't consider his inability to decide such a matter.
From the way the angels treated him, he seemed to be a big shot in the Selvator forces. Also that archlord title was something I still held in high regard considering I got my chariot out of one of such archlords.
"Then who can decide such a thing?"
"Unfortunately we still didn't decide on our rulers," he shook his head, "all I can promise is a few places I have men at. As for other places, I can't help."
