I sighed. "Alright, fine. How about five billion hunter credits?"
She lifted an eyebrow and said, "Still not enough. Your enemies already offered me twenty billion."
And just like that, it clicked.
She wasn't here to make a deal.
Twenty billion? Come on.
That was straight-up ridiculous—and not even the kind of lie that tries to sound real.
No company with a working brain would drop twenty billion credits just to take me out.
You could hire a top-tier assassin for a fraction of that. Frankly, for that kind of money, you could buy your own private army and throw in a fireworks show for flair.
Even if she wasn't here to kill me, I doubt anyone's handing her that kind of cash just to intimidate me.
Nope. She wasn't negotiating.
She was toying with me.
I let out a dry sigh and looked at her. "Alright, cut the crap. Just do whatever it is you came to do."
Kiara gave a smug little smile. "Finally. I was wondering how long that would take."
