"I disagree," Gravis answered.

The Sect Master furrowed her brows.

She hadn't expected that answer.

"So, you're saying that you're justified in attacking one of my Vice-Sect Masters with the intention to kill?" she asked with a cold voice.

"No," Gravis answered.

The Sect Master waited for clarification.

"However, I'm not part of the Eternal Fire Sect, and my priorities are not your priorities."

"Your priorities are material. You are interested in resources and people. You're right in the fact that my action is going against the optimal way of getting cooperation and profits."

"However, as I've said, my priorities are not your priorities," Gravis repeated.

The Sect Master looked at Gravis with narrowed eyes. "And what are your priorities?"

Gravis looked into the Sect Master's eyes.

"My priorities are whatever I want," Gravis said. "I want to meet my friends, and if you stop me, I will do everything in my power to change things."

"Yes," the Sect Master said, "and the best way to accomplish that is to discuss the matter and talk."
