Chapter 591: The meal
Then all the people present in the room looked towards Jayden who was still busy tapping the floor with his feet, Rios kept signalling for Jayden to stand up but Hecate didn’t respond in any way.
” Tsk, Bring one more seat. ”
Veena said after getting no response from Jayden or Hecate.
Even though Jayden looked so good that even Veena was having difficulty keeping her eyes away from him but he didn’t seem to have a very strong aura and even when Veena checked his mental strength he seemed quite weak so she wanted him to move away and let another man sit there.
Within seconds the maid of Veena brought a chair and adjusted it around the round table, after they were all seated the whole room was filled with silence as they kept looking at each other and assessing each other’s strength.
All nine of the men were wearing suits their aura was hidden behind a barrier but just after seeing their physical bodies it was obvious that they all had very high strength, Hecate decided to break the silence:
” Don’t waste too much of my time and get to the point, what’s the point of having this meeting? ” She spoke while looking straight at Veena.
” Oh seriously, you have no idea about it? First, you stole that treasure from us despite knowing what could happen to us all if this news was revealed to the dragons and then what did you say? You don’t have it on you? It is already used by someone else?
Cut all that bullshit, the dragons are getting impatient we have already delayed the delivery for far too long and now they are already suspicious of us.
Also even if we tell all the truth they will only think that we are using you as an scape – goat, that we are putting all the blame on you to get out of this situation.
And you are asking why we have called you here, also recently the dragon named Garett Strom was killed do you have any connection to it too? After all a witch’s magic was used at the place where the fight had taken place, so- ”
While Veena was speaking Hecate listened to it all with an expression showing that she was not much interested in any of it but then Hecate interrupted her and spoke:
” So you are saying I’m the one who killed Garett? And what about the delivery, what do you want me to do about it now? ”
While Hecate was speaking, magically food dishes began to appear on the table and within seconds it was covered by several dozen dishes, which were all different.
” Let’s continue this discussion after eating. ” Veena spoke, then she paid no attention to Hecate and began to eat the food while occasionally glancing towards Jayden.
It was like a custom among the witches that whenever something important like this took place they had a feast before its completion, Hecate placed several dishes in front of Jayden and then spoke with a beautiful smile that charmed all nine of the men standing in front of her in just a moment:
” You can have whatever you like. ”
But Jayden shook his head since they had eaten not too long ago but Hecate had to eat a little even if it was just to show. So she picked up a dish and ate a few spoons from it After which she sat back and waited for the rest of them to finish.
All the men ate their fill and even got seconds, Veena ate a little before she stopped too and Rios stuffed his mouth just like the rest of the men, after around twenty minutes they were all done then the plates and everything disappeared on their own.
” Urrrk Now that was a satisfying meal, it’s not every day you eat something like that. ” Rios spoke after releasing a loud burping sound.
” Can we start the meeting now? ” Hecate asked, her gaze meeting with Veena’s.
” Of course we should; then let me answer your last question, yes we believe that you are the one who killed Garett and even if we forget this matter what are you going to do about the thing you had stolen, how are you planning to compensate us for it. ” Veena asked, her tone getting high with each word.
” Tell me, what do you want? But let me tell you, that thing had already been used by someone so there is no way I can give it back and I’m not going to surrender my self in front of the dragons taking in every blame on me. ” Hecate replied, as her aura became colder and colder.
” What do we want? First, tell me about the person who had used that thing, then I would no longer hold you responsible for stealing it but you would still have to get punished according to our laws for a few other crimes you had committed. ”
Veena said non challantly as if she was giving Hecate a way out but Hecate knew better than anyone how much tricky this witch could be.
Even if she gave them all the info they would still give her the most cruel punishment while mentioning any random crime of her as there is no way they could forgive Hecate so easily after all the trouble she had caused them.
” Actually I don’t know who used it either, I just had given it to someone who paid me a good price and so I traded it without thinking much, why do I even have to care who used it or sold it to someone else after?
As for the second thing, no I am not going to get punished for any crimes I have committed since I have contributed to our planet more than any one else, if you doubt you can ask your mother. ”
Hecate replied, she thought it was the end of their argument and now wanted to leave along with Jayden but Veena was yet not finished.
” I had expected you to act like that, my mother gave you that curse thinking that it would be enough to force you to come back here but no matter how much we had searched all the resources we had wasted, and you never came back and for what?
Just for some profit, I was right about you from the very start, you are a traitor, someone who paid our kindness by stabbing us in the back- ”
Veena shouted as her aura kept getting stronger, she didn’t know that the witch queen had not placed any curse it was something the queen had said to calm everyone.
” Enough there is no point in continuing this, I’m sure your mother has already thought of a way to deal with this situation, let’s end this meeting now. ” Hecate spoke, releasing an aura of her own.
” Heh Good, I’m glad you are just like I remembered you, also this meeting is not the only reason that I called you here, it’s time that you pay for everything you had done to us. ”
While speaking with a smirk on her face, Veena snapped her fingers waiting for her first trap to take place.
