During the entire speech, Victor became angrier by the second, and thoughts about welshing on his deal with Frostfang became more prominent. Assuming Frostfang would even still hand Emily and 'Elora' over to him.
Frostfang noticed, of course, but he didn't care. He had always been planning to send Viljar and his group along with Victor to ensure the deal was honored. It was a dangerous assignment, as Frostfang wasn't sure how the third-rank leaders of the council would react, but there was no one besides Viljar he trusted for this.
Finally, Erik's sales pitch, which is really what it was, came to a close. "But I believe the main reason the council is after us, is because Elora managed to disappear from their helicopter while in mid-air, despite the aetherium-blocking bracelet she was wearing at the time," he said while thumbing toward the fake Elora next to him.
If you like my novel, I would love some more reviews right now! (But obviously, any support is welcome and greatly apreciated)
