Soon, another thought occurred to him, subtle yet persistent like a whisper at the back of his mind, what if he had something, but he simply didn't realize he possessed something Cindralis actually wanted, something intangible or unnoticed that held value only to someone of her perspective and experience, and with that sudden flash of idea striking him like lightning across a dark sky, he spoke without delay, "what do you want in exchange for upping my missions clearance level?" He asked directly without bothering to play word or mind games, because someone as old and seasoned as Cindralis could probably scheme even in her sleep without conscious effort.
But with her current level of overwhelming power and authority, she didn't even need to scheme anymore, since brute reality itself already bent to her convenience.
