oliver was swallowing hard as eyes met the other’s he knew that the man in front of him could bring hell on earth, he could see it in his eyes , thoughts pushed to the corner of his mind as he is carrying on to say “ if I take it what are the consequences?”.
“think about it this way; if i get this city willingly? it will be under my protection. the crime rate will go down, laws will be enforced, and i get…. one third of all souls here.” he could have said half, but he was being reasonable. “you accept my offer and the city – for as long as i’m here – will be completely safe, but if you deny this little… request of mine?” a dark grin pulled at his lips. “i’ll make sure that everyone – including yourself – suffers with the consequences. ‘cause, this place? it will be mine. the only question is… do you want it to be hell on earth or do you want something a bit nicer?”
