The atmosphere became so still that it felt like the air had been forged with invisible steel.
Kael wasn't just referring to Natalia, he was talking about the whole spider race operation in the tunnels under his territory.
Natalia held her breath, Kael wasn't holding back at all, he wasn't beating around the bush.

Natalia's head subconsciously wanted to move but she restrained herself.
"For a negotiation to occur, both parties have to be on equal grounds and have equal status.
Natalia, do you see yourself as being my equal?" Kael asked.
Stella's eyes narrowed, she could feel how tense everyone was. Even the spider escorts could not help but shiver under the false pressure Kael was emitting.
