章 509: Accountability

"You went too far, Ves. You demolished them completely. You showed no mercy to Bovis."

"It's one thing to put down a rabid dog. It's another thing entirely to torture the poor creature all the while you laughed like a maniac! Did you see your face at the end? You reveled in your bullying, and don't say it's not! You crushed them by abusing your superiority!"

"And that's supposed to be a bad thing, sir? It's not my fault they're so incompetent. For all of his ambition, Mr. Mercator doesn't have the skill to back it up. I'm sure he can give me a run for my money if we competed on designing heavy cannoneers, but the Akkara mechs only take up a small part of the Vandal mech roster."
