"How can that be? If possible, I would want all of you dead."
After William finished speaking, the humanoid phantom made of mist trembled. Her blue eyes erupted with intense light. The surrounding space began to tremble, and even the distorted vortex stopped spinning. Then, it disintegrated into a mess of colors that lingered in the sky.
After a while, William realized that the other party was smiling.
"Although this is indeed what you mean, this isn't the attitude you should have when negotiating conditions…" the phantom made of mist suppressed its chuckle and said.
"Would you have believed me if I said I'm sincerely here to help you obtain benefits from the Currere?"William asked.
Then, he continued, "This is just expedient cooperation at this stage where the stakes are the same. If you're unwilling, I'll leave immediately. There's no need for me to waste my time listening to your meaningless mockery."
