Chapter 1206 - Collecting a Support Fee (1/2)
Half a second after Jiang Fei had agreed to meet Akatziris, Straz sprung from his seat like a jack-in-the-box, and spoke to him. “Thank you! The leader will personally come to you instead!”
“That’s good,” said Jiang Fei. Something was up since Akatziris was willing to come down herself to meet Jiang Fei.
“Tsk. Shameless b*tch,” Sylphy sneered.
A few minutes later, a pillar of light flashed down from the sky and Akatziris was teleported outside of Jiang Fei’s base. Like any other base, Jiang Fei had installed a safety precaution, a powerful signal jammer that would prevent anyone without proper authorization to teleport inside.
Sylphy was the bouncer of Jiang Fei’s house. She was tasked to deal with any visiting guests, both expected and unexpected. When Sylphy was escorting Akatziris into Jiang Fei’s base, she never stopped trying to send in a thinly-veiled-contempt message to Akatziris, trying to derail her from her main goal on purpose.
Alas, all of Sylphy’s attempts to get Akatziris distracted was for naught. She was the leader of another faction of the Unknowns after all, not to mention that she was once the third princess of the Royal Nephilim. Even though she was ticked off by the cruel remarks and sneers, she had to endure everything. She was alone without the support of machineries, supplies, and other Unknowns. She might have the power output of a Level 5 but she was not like Sylphy who could easily destroy her in the blink of an eye.
Sylphy was acting out on purpose. She wanted to find the trigger button to push Akatziris to make the first move against her. With that excuse, Sylphy could then “teach” her a lesson, which would involve rigorous beatings that would send her packing, back to the moon and never to return again. Sylphy could then finally vent her anger and never have to see Akatziris’ face again!
Akatziris was an Android. Having a powerful CPU in her head, she had managed to calculate Sylphy’s true objective. Even though the emotional side of her was not taking it well, the logical side of her was winning. All the sneers and contempt were ignored. She did it so well that at a certain point, she managed to make Sylphy look like a fool.
“My master, my sweet, loving master, how I have rushed over when you wanted to see me!” cried Akatziris with sugar-coated words that were so sweet it almost gave Jiang Fei diabetes.
“Have you no shame?! You were the one that asked Jiang Fei to meet you! Not the other way around! Do what you came here to do then leave! I can’t stand another second of your vile breath!” Sylphy hissed like a python.
“Ah. You must be Sylphy, the beloved disciple of the Moon God. Tell me, did the Moon God teach you to behave like that?” Akatziris made a quick comment and returned to butter up Jiang Fei.
“Please. You of all people know that it was all made up. If you truly believed the humans had programmed us, you should have come with a leash with Jiang Fei holding the other end.” Sylphy made a comeback.
While Akatziris was keeping her emotions in check, through much effort, Isabella was feeling every hurtful attack that Sylphy had shot toward Akatziris. Isabella was also once Jiang Fei’s pet. Everything that Sylphy said, even though was meant to insult Akatziris, was also directed toward Isabella, although not intentional.
Isabella was taking every hit. There was nothing she could do but to become a temporary mute. Although she had her own comments to make against Sylphy, she knew better. Sylphy had only said those spiteful comments for Jiang Fei’s sake. While hurtful, it was not meant for her.
“Enough,” said Jiang Fei, and both women went silent. If Jiang Fei had not stopped them, the banter would evolve into a battle of insults that would only escalate further.
“What do you need?” asked Jiang Fei, only when the women were quiet.
“You discarded me when you were done with me. What do you think I am here for? Like other females that were discarded after being used, I am here to collect support fees,” said Akatziris.
