Chapter 240 V-Parasite

"It's a sha you so often is because I see great potential in our partnershi+p"

"And I do not, unfortunately," responded Desmond

"What about a relationshi+p as a client? Z could e that withsome information here and there"

"I cannot do that"

"Any reason why?" Aldrich gave Desaze "The only reason I can think of for an infor me information - your livelihood - is because you already have a client working againstmy trust?" Visible annoyance showed on Desmond's face

"A allied nomads is strictly confidential For now, that includes you," said Desh, once this day passes and we all go our separate ways, that will no longer apply

I would trust ht find it quite inconvenient to have spiders crawling around your rooht? Is this a threat? Why so hostile, Desmond?" Aldrich remained calm Collected

"Not a threat A possibility One I'aze narrowed, his pale grey pupils thinning almost iive you a lesson in person

My spiders and I are of oneacross every little corner of the Net

Surfacenet or Darknet - my webs spin across all of theht up in those webs

I a you this now because there has to be balance

Just like how the overworld maintains balance with the AA and the Panopticon, the Underworld must also maintain balance

I saw it in your eyes

As, in moderation

If your as now, you will find ainst you"

Aldrich eyed Svetlanna, and she lifted up one finger for hi Faster than she had originally esti back instead of acting nice to reel Dess standing against h of both" Aldrich cracked his knuckles "And I just got done crushi+ng a few bugs, too, if you're concerned about whether I'm scared about spiders"

"…" Desmond stared at Aldrich with tense eyes before he chuckled It was not a friendly one More ame Good to see you admit it" Aldrich shook his head "No, like you said, it's only a 'possibility' I've afforded you three chances to ith me

I'd have liked your skills onup to the Dark Six, I' to think that maybe you're not so neutral after all, Desmond

Maybe you have backers already Backers that the other nomad chiefs would be quite displeased to learn about"

"I don't want to hear you questionyour expensive suits I will not betray lared at Aldrich "But if I need to convince therowth, I will"

Aldrich saw in his peripheral vision that Svetlanna gave hi was planted "I appreciate your concern, Desmond, but I intend toterm one I only hope you don't ht end up costing you"

Aldrich waved his hand, and Svetlanna cut off the channel Dese crackled and snapped out fro planted?" asked Aldrich

"Yeah," said Svetlanna She raised three fingers "And three bugs from Desmond's crew taken out"

Aldrich raised a brow "He was that bold?"

"No, these were very discrete bugs I doubt he thought I would catch theht them Not even Spybird," said Svetlanna "You really are lucky to have rade to rank me compared to other technos, I would put myself nicely at a fat S"

"For that, you'll have to impress me a little more," said Aldrich

"Pshh Hard to please, aren't you?" Svetlanna pouted "As for the bug I planted, it's one I've personally made called a V-Parasite

Adapted frohten me"
