Chapter 317 A Reasonable Understanding

Medula rubbed her forehead, sighing "Why should I take this deal? Can I si you can do about it"

"Like I said, I want us to be reasonable here," said Aldrich "Because if we get unreasonable, that tends to teeter us to extremes, and I am very much in home with extremes"

"Is that so? Tell me, what is your idea of an extreme?" countered Medula

"That body is a ide treasure in the Alter world Even now, people are looking for it, as on the planet I could tip the world off and lead then, join thehtfully theirs

This realainst an attack from an entire world? The odds are questionable"

"You would dare to invade the Necropolis?" Medula narrowed her crilint "To ruin that which has given you soto attack us!?" squeaked Wai'ki

"Not an attack Just helping my world take back what's theirs," said Aldrich

"As if you are not the one that sent this body to us for analysis in the first place…," said Medula

"And now that we're done with it, I fully intend on returning it and burying it properly Thatvalue from his corpse - that is what necroive him rest now that his usefulness is at an end"

The truth was, Aldrich would have raised Supermind as a zombie if he had to He had done so with Adaot his powers, after all, and they meant more to him than Supermind But he was not in a situation of life or death at this point and he did not want to give that corpse to Medula

Because even if it was unlikely that Aldrich would see through on his bluff, even a 1 chance that he could was risk enough

"A bluff," Medula aptly called out "Too big to be realistic so as to be a threat to me"

"Oh, but it isn't a threat to just you, is it?" Aldrich eyed the Death Lord and Wai'ki and, by extension, the entirety of the Necropolis All of the to be under threat, not just Medula

This forced everyone here to weigh Medula's self-interest against the interest of theto compromise the safety of the entire Necropolis for her freedom?

And even before that, would the Death Lord allow it?

Would the rest of the Deathguard?

"I know there are things you are holding back from me," Aldrich said to the Death Lord "Like how you lost your ar session with Rella But because of your generosity so far, I've held back on pressing on thefor answers"

"You would dare to threaten thening into serpentine curves She gripped the edge of the grey stone table and shattered a chunk off of it with ease Her reen aura that looked cascaded far into the ceiling

The entire library shook, cracks starting to etch their way across every large surface

Wai'ki whimpered as she put her hands over her head and shut her eyes Medula herself stood up in alar around her gloved hands

Valera instantly stood up, utterly fearless in the ht beside Aldrich, ready to manifest her shi+eld

But Aldrich re lavender eyes without giving a single inch
