"Aren't you going to stop her?" Raani asked the woman but she remained silent for few second.
" We five have autonomy with how we conduct things. Only in tis like this we co together to make a choice. From your lack of readiness to do anything, I don't think you are ready to intervene in this case."
"Are you seriously cutting off? I fucking run this place! This is my territory! She doesn't have a right to-"
" She is not infringing in your business. What you promised that kid will be the sa, we will not help the Greens but leaking of secrets is a way worse sin that needs to be taken care off." She leaned closer to the cara revealing her weary face, it had many scars each telling the harrowing ordeal of how she got them.
Even one of her eyes were slashed with a massive scar that ran from her eyebrows down to her chin.
Just her appearance was terrifying but Raani was composed as she had seen her countless tis but it was Talia's first peek into another elder of the clan. She could tell the old woman was very dangerous!
" Co on, Raani, when have these rich people ever kept their promise. Rember the massacre of '75 or the rciless bombardnts of '99? They promised the sa thing but in the end, they would go back on their word in a heartbeat if they feel like their life is threatened."
" These people are different from us. There is no code, no morals, it's just them satisfying their greed to have as much thing as they want. They would even sell their mother if we promise them a fortune!"
" No! You are wrong! He is different!" Surprisingly, Talia ca to Samuel's defense.
She might not like him knowing he was a womaniser but from she had seen, he was fair and kept to his words. Others might not let her go or even let her out if the basent but for so reason he trusted her enough and kept his word.
" Che che, I told you to not be easy on her. Look, she is defending him directly defying us. It's always a curse to get close to your pupils especially when they are at the age of rebelling. We were just wrong about the timing." The woman let out a ugly laugh showing her perfect teeth which contrasted a lot against her ssed up face.
" Talia stop-" Raani didn't want things to escalate further.
"No let her hear it. Do you think that young kid will care about soone who is inching away from her pri? You are not a teenager in love but a killer, a weapon that has only one purpose. Your righteous lover would never accept soone like you in his life."
" And don't even let get to his personal life. Wherever he goes, he had girls lining up for him. I have seen him, if Adonis was a thing, he would be ashad looking at him, that's how perfect he looks but a person like him would never care about another soul knowing well he could make them do anything with a little nudge."
" While you are here, I am sure he is enjoying himself with his other consort. I am sure they are having tea and discussing how glad they are that you left their place. A old hag like you would never get to fit in their young life."
"That's enough! Zara, that habit of your hasn't changed one bit. I don't want you to berate my student. Just tell what would the fitting punishnt for her?" Raani looked defeated.
Talia on the other hand was shocked and pale. It's like all of her insecurities were laid bare with few sentences making her doubt everything that happened with him.
Was Zara right? In this mont she did feel what she said was plausible. Him letting her go and letting her people deal with her and also making a deal with her ntor so that he could get out of their office alive. It appeared he did it for her but he might have hidden agendas after all, a man like him was smart and calculative.
" You already know the rules. It's the thing that have been passed through for couple millennium at this point."
" And if I don't want her to die? I am sure we can co to a agreent."
Zara was silent. She knew Raani eas serious and if they really force death in her pupil, she might finally flip which could be disastrous for their organization, their London branch was most profitable.
" We can. If she is right that he didn't tell the secret to others and we will verify that then, you can sent her to my base in Moldova. I will continue her teaching and help her realise her true potential."
" You can't-"
" That's the best deal. I don't care what the boy told you, he is going to die. You know what our third sister is like, there are countless ways she could use to kill him."
" Don't underestimate him. I have seen him fight-"
"You might not be going for his head or else how could have he escaped from the building. Two or three agents would be enough to dispose of him within minutes."
"This is the deal. We will take care of the kid and your disciple and you have to keep working like normal. We will lose a lot with what she did downstairs so the first thing I will taught her would be restraints."
She smiled gleefully toward Talia. Raani faced away from Talia and her fate was sealed. She bowed down and greeted her new ntor, that was the tradition.
Her eyes were hollow like she was out of it with only one purpose of living that was not to sha her ntor like she did earlier. If her fate was to locked away in so dungeon then she would embrace it as a way to repay her ntor for saving her life all those years ago!
