Kaelith looked at him with amusement. "Then what if I just kill you here and now?" His tone was mild, as if he were merely considering it.
Thayer laughed. "But you can't. Not in front of all these witnesses. You'll be torn to shreds by those who want to curry favor with the Argent, and the Cult's enemies will use my father's anger and influence to attack your Cult. You might escape tonight, but you'll be found eventually. My death won't benefit you tonight, Kaelith—unless you truly have no card left to play."
The Blood Necromancer smiled tightly behind his mask. "Ahahaha. You have really cornered me. But do you really think your people will be able to save her and get out of there alive? You aren't that naive, are you?"
He narrowed his eyes. "What did you do?"
"Let's say I left a surprise behind."
Just then, Kaelith flinched. "I see. So Kaidos is dead. Then it won't be long now. Enjoy this sense of victory while you can, because it won't last long."
