Chapter 1042 – Entry Fee
Adrian stiffened.
"I offer you separation," Lux stated.
Adrian frowned.
"If you want to do business with Lux Vaelthorn, then speak to me as a businessman. Bring terms. Bring numbers. Bring risk. Bring value. I will review them." His gaze moved to Naomi, softening for half a breath. "But Naomi is not an entry fee."
Then back to Adrian.
"And if you try to make her one again, you will learn exactly why I became CFO of Hell."
The card pulsed once.
Adrian stared at it.
Celeste did too.
Naomi looked at Lux, her eyes bright with something too heavy to be only relief.
Lux leaned back again, smile polished and terrible. "So, Mr. Delacour…"
His voice was calm.
Professional.
Merciless.
"Would you like to discuss business properly?"
Adrian Delacour stared at him.
Lux returned to looking human.
Too human.
