I saw the minute her face changed when she took a sip.
Roqs’ lips curved.
“The Purple Tribe is the strongest tribe, according to the latest poll, but I think it’s simply because they have the most number of population in this planet.”
Politics. I don’t really like it.
Brin just nodded as she accepted another pouring of water into her glass. She had to endure the salty water from before but now looks like either Jigen or Crix was able to perfect it. They always like a challenge. And this one, they are probably hoping if more of Brin’s kind enters our planet, they can start selling this water. That is how they are able to maintain this vast mini kingdom of theirs. Aside from being scientists, they have enterprising souls.
“However, our Silver Tribe is the strongest if we are talking about strength.”
I snorted into my glass. As it’s almost time for dinner, I opted for a good wine. Brin’s hands tap me softly on the back.
Roqs laughed out loud.
And that is when Coone shoved the doors open and said, “I have the information on Kilo.”
I stiffened and so did Roqs. It is now time to attack. So much for relaxation.
Chapter 12
ATTACK PLAN
Zirc
“Are you out of your mind, Zirc?”
“What brought this on?”
“Do you not value the lives of your tribe?”
“Don’t look at me. I’m just the messenger.”
“Roqs, do something about this.”
This is why I do not want to lead men. They all have kinds of opinion that are irritating. Why do I need to explain myself to them?
“When do we eat?”
Everyone paused and as one, we looked at Brin.
The current bane of my existence.Only because I knew after this meeting, I need to leave her.
I am ashamed. And on cue, we heard a small growl coming from her that seemed to take everyone by surprise. But I know that sound.
Immediately, I rose up and went for the door to signal for food. Knowing Crix, his nuls or as he call, his loyal subjects, will prepare a feast that will satisfy my Brin.
Fuck.
I need to stop this obsession with her.
I looked back and they are still staring at her with wonder. Her face is all flushed as if from sex. I smirked.
We are now in the basement of Crix’s mansion. I still remember how Brin’s eyes widened when she saw all the glass panels, chairs, computers, gadgets and artillery displayed on this room. This is the most high tech room in probably the whole planet. I do not know of anyone who has this much local and alien technology on the planet. He has the same one replicated in another underground location for just in case.
“Are you sure about this?”
I looked at Roqs. To an outsider, he looks okay. But I know him well enough to see the slight tension in his body he is trying to hide. No one can read him like I do. That is why it is very hard for me to accept why the gods are playing tricks on us. He is supposed to be my mate. Who else could it be?
