Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs
Chapter 421 No Drink For YouChapter 421 No Drink For You
"Stupid girl, I can't believe she betrayed me, why, why, why?" a voice laced with grief spoke.
The owner of the said voice was seated on a grand black office chair which was behind a glass and gem-inlaid desk.
Holding a black bottle in her hand, the woman made a swirl with her chair, her blonde hair blowing as she turned and when she completed her 360-degree turn, she took a swig from the bottle in her hand.
"And that's enough, Alice, there is no reason for you to get drunk this morning," a woman with red hair and an eye patch over her right eye said, moving forward and quickly seizing the black bottle from the woman's hand.
"How dare you," the blonde woman shouted, her heavy bust jiggling up and down as she reached to seize back the bottle but with the red-haired woman being far stronger than her, she could only grab at the air.
"So you've also become like her, right? Because I'm weak, you've decided to go against me also.
The other one wants to take my country, she wants everything I have worked for in my life, and at this point, she has nearly done so.
What do you want? Is it my life? Do you want to make me your slave?" The blonde woman ranted after failing to get her drink.
"Say something, Adriana," the blonde woman barked when the red-haired woman before her stayed silent.
"Well, you still haven't said anything about the last reports. What are we going to do?" Adriana said, dropping the black bottle on a stand which was an arm's reach behind her, somewhere where Alice wouldn't be able to reach without getting past her.

"No."
"You're bullying me."
"Yes, that's what I'll be doing until you fully get over Dorian's betrayal. Now, your desk."
"Fine," Alice, who had just been scolded, said, pushing her scattered blonde hair out from in front of her eyes and looking at the troublesome papers on her desk.
"You should take a bit more care of yourself," Adriana said, moving behind Alice and bundling up her scattered hair.
"I'm about to lose my country, Adriana, my looks are the last thing to be worried about at the moment."
Hearing Alice's reply, Adriana could only sigh and, with a wave of her hand, have a comb appear and then she began running the comb through Alice's hair.
Adriana wished there was something she could say to comfort Alice.
She wished she could tell her that she would always be there for her and never betray her.
But given Dorian's actions, she couldn't find the will to say such laughable words.
The harsh words Alice had spoken seconds ago were not all that new to Adriana.
For days now, Alice had gone hysterical and been lashing out at Adriana from time to time and though Adriana would like to think of it as Alice letting out some steam and letting out her frustration, she knew Alice did so because she genuinely no longer trusted even her.
Before the betrayal, the bond between all three of them had been unquestionable, one in which each of them trusted each other with their lives and more. But Dorian's betrayal ended that.
At the moment, Adriana could see the desolation, loneliness, and weakness that filled Alice, and it pained her to know there was nothing she could do.
Right now, the only reason Alice allowed her to stay close was because keeping her away was pointless.
Adriana was Alice's strongest supporter, and if she ever decided to go against her, then Alice figured it would be pointless to resist. Whatever was going to happen would happen.
As Adriana gently combed Alice's hair, giving it a sense of order, the troubled woman below her once more looked at the files on her desk.
"1) Report on the Class IV Rank 7 mission in Arilit city…"
"2) Yuruto Jungle routing…"
"Ugh, all this is horrible news, all I asked was for that bastard's daughter to be kidnapped, and now I have a half-destroyed Rank B city.
Damn it, there's no serious report on the whereabouts of Jane.

Taking a breath, Alice looked at another paper just beside the one she had just placed down and frowned.
"That Mira is quite the intelligent woman, she knows how to play her cards well and is no slouch in terms of sealing, she might even be able to give Seth a run for his money," Alice mumbled, her face going tight as she fondly thought of an irritating young man.
Hearing Alice mention Seth, Adriana couldn't help but also think about the arrogant young black-haired man who had decided to run off into Ashad.
Though Adriana wasn't sure what he went there for, thinking about his rampant behaviour and the hard activities he liked engaging in, she hoped he would come back.
"Ugh, who would he pick between Alice and Dorian, most likely Alice, that would suck for Dorian if she doesn't think of something"
While these two well-endowed and powerful women were thinking about the same young man, the sound of heels rapidly clicking against the floor sounded from outside the door, and soon there was someone rapidly knocking on it.
"Come in," Alice said with a gruff tone, predicting that whatever she was about to be told would put her in a worse mood.
Following Alice's words, a woman dressed in a white shirt and black office skirt walked in.
The woman was Erin, and with her features schooled, she walked up to Alice's desk with quick strides.
"Your Excellency, take a look at this," Erin said as she extended a paper to Alice.
Not hiding her disinterest, Alice lazily raised her hand and took the paper. But when she looked at it, she immediately got to her feet, and with her eyes wide open, she asked, "Where was this picture taken?"
"In Arilit City, the evening before the catastrophe."
