"You've got quite the appetite." He took a step forward, his expression turning cold. "My people fought here for two days. We surrounded the Green Wind Shelter. We paid in blood. And now you show up at the last moment and declare that the territory and everything inside belongs to you? On what grounds?"
Vikram smiled calmly. "On the grounds that my people killed Snape." He looked directly into Brandon's eyes.
"Who killed the strongest man in Green Wind Shelter? Who destroyed their backbone? Who caused all the branch shelters to rebel? If my people hadn't eliminated Snape, would Blue Frost Shelter have even dared to attack?"
He continued, "You merely seized an opportunity I created. So why shouldn't everything belong to me?"
