Whoever breaks the law will be severely punished, and set as an example for others to learn from," he added, with his calm tone and face.
"But there is also a law that no one in the black market should interfere in other's business, or that would be considered as an act of war, right?"
Suddenly, the sexy silent, looking dumb, Luna spoke up with strong tone and domineering spirit. James was astonished by that, as he didn't know that after sleeping with her for two consecutive nights, she had grown as well, gained more mental powers, and that was all because James was special.
"My lady is right, there is such a rule," Amed replied, without taking any offense at all from her aggressiveness, "may I ask why my lady brought such a law now?" he added, trying to act humble as much as he could.
"That's because your man, Henry, had intruded into my man's business. So, we just decided to destroy his entire kingdom, adding it to ours," she added, with her same aggressiveness.
The face of Amed immediately changed, slightly, as this small knowledge was left unmentioned by Henry's son, the one who asked the supreme council for justice.
"May I have proof for that?" he asked, as this was a very important matter, lives were at stake here.
"Sure," James finally spoke up, as he shouted to the guards on the door; "Bring the locked up ambassador here."
The calling he just said made the face of Amed more unsightly, as if there was an ambassador of Henry locked up here, then what Luna just claimed was the truth.
He had always heard of rumors about how Sir Henry had made his kingdom, using treachery and deceiving others using his well known ambassadors. He once met a couple of them on separate occasions, so he was now waiting for that one to come, as he might have known him.
The moment that fat ambassador was brought here, the face of Amed turned dark. He recognized that ambassador, as he was one of the two he previously met. He turned to look at James, bowing very respectively, as he knew Sir Henry had stirred a beast he never had to come near it.
"I'm sorry, supreme leader, I was mistaken. On behalf of the black market, I offer half of the current fleet as a compensation to yours," he pulled such a great hand, as this was the least he could do.
The price seemed extravagant, but to his bosses, this was nothing big. He had also the liberty to act as he liked with this fleet, either attack James and kill him, or grant him the whole fleet if he wished for.
"I'm so grateful for you, my dear friend Amed," James couldn't decline such a fat dish presented to him, as he replied instantly, agreeing on the offer, "as a present from me, I will grant you one of the kingdoms we just conquered, with merely twenty planets there, as a gift for you," James said, as his intentions were made perfectly clear to Amed.
Amed's eyes shone brightly, he wasn't greed, not stupid, as he realized what James was doing. These monsters coming to the planets he held were considered a rare treasure already, as many leaders were discussing now a way to make his rule extend, and his monsters to grow.
They wanted to help him, so he could take them back, and now from just this simple gesture of him, James had gifted him twenty planets full of monsters.
That was impressive, great hand indeed.
"Thanks supreme leader for your generosity, I'm sure the supreme council wouldn't stop at anything to help your growth and your reign to extend boundless in the cosmos."
James smiled, as he then waved to the guards to take the fat ambassador away. That fat ambassador was living a really comfy life, as James didn't touch him, or make him suffer.
"May I ask about your destination with this grand fleet?" James finally asked the matter he wanted to ask about from the start. Any addition to his growing empire was welcomed, especially if it came from rulers of this part of the space.
"There are dozens of kingdoms trying to make some stir and trouble to your south, so the council saw it was appropriate to help you exterminate them, and give them to you," he said, with an eye waiting for James' response.
"Hmm, dozens of kingdoms, that seems interesting," James muttered, faked thinking about it, "I will gladly accept the council gift, but I can't just accept it for free like this. I have an image to keep you know, so I will grant the council ten percent of the conquered territory."
"Thirty percent, that seems quite fair," Amed suddenly wore off his diplomatic coat and wore his merchant coat. The two started to openly discuss business terms, away from any coating words, until they both agreed upon twenty percent of the whole claimed territory.
Amed was feeling ecstatic, as his superiors only dreamt of fifteen percent, and now he had twenty, plus the kingdom he just had as a gift.
"You can discuss with my lady, Islinda, about the terms and finalize everything," James said, before adding, "and if you have a list of these impudent kingdoms, we can extend our deal to cover them as well, what do you think?"
Amed couldn't dream of anything better than this, so he hurriedly, without trying to hide his happiness and excitation, said:
"I agree, on behalf of the supreme council of the black market we agree on these terms."
Amed was already celebrating inside himself, as this deal would make his status in the council so special and ascend much heights than before.
"Good, I'm pleased to hear that," James said, while turning to his right, "please my love, I have to trouble you with this."
Is Linda's face blushed when she heard that magical word, as she was first hearing it from a male, from her man. She nodded, trying to hid her flushing face, as she replied:
"It's nothing my… my dear," she didn't know what to call him, so she stuttered. Amed noticed that, and put a note on this. It seemed this growing man had endless luck, as his superiors can gift him with talented girls, ladies that can rival the current two without doubt in mind and beauty.
"I will trouble you, my lady."
"It's nothing, please, this way," Islinda led him away from here, as she started to squeeze him for info and more deals.
When she finished with him, Amed had the impression he wasn't dealing with a mere woman, but a leader on par with his own leaders. He knew this girl might be hard to push away, but it was acceptable to push the other one.
Amed then hurried back to his own fleet, and sent the news to his leaders. The response he got was quite satisfying, as he expected he was greatly rewarded and praised, plus they decided to make the move much bigger, amassing more grand fleets and sending them his way.
They had already greedy nature, and James had depended on that. having partners was sometimes helping, especially if he knew how to satisfy them, and make them always satisfied and content.
As for James, he was surprised by the way Luna spoke to Amed. He knew she was wild, but not wild at all, and only wild at bed only.
"Don't look at me like that, as I feel more urge to hunt you tonight, but I know you will be Isli," she said, as she knew James promised Islinda to sleep with her tonight.
"Don't feel like that, I will make it up for you tomorrow," he said, as she kissed her hot lips, making her whole body boil with his hands touching her while he carried her to sit on his lap, as usual.
The afternoon passed like that, and James heard the news Amed sent for him, about more reinforcements, and how pleased his superiors were. He also asked for making permanent branches of his superiors here, so they can use the already huge base of merchants in this place, to strike deals.
James, as usual, passed them all to Islinda, keeping her busy until dinner time, where he took her to his dorms in his large cruiser, as he made love with her for hours and hours non stop.
Luna wasn't the only one getting benefits from this, as Islinda had many personality changes, as she became sharper, more alert, and very very very patient and decisive when dealing with merchants and trade deals.
Her leading abilities and traits had gotten a boost, making her far better than she once was.
As for James, the next morning was doomed to be special for him. Rigo's fleet just arrived in the early morning, and with its presence, the whole space was already looking crowded, and scary.
