Chapter 95: Wars
"It is taking too long." The woman said.
"I am doing all I can." Ares replied. "He is being kept prisoner by the League. It is not so easy to break him out."
"Are you sure?" The woman asked.
"You're welcome to try it if you want." Ares said.
The woman sighed. "The King is getting impatient, Ares. The deadline is approaching. They have already removed the Guardians."
"I know that!" Ares snapped. "The man is working his role, and I am doing my best. The Americans aren't as easy to bait as they used to be."
"That can be resolved easily enough." The woman said.
"You mean using the resistance?" Ares asked.
"Yes." The woman said.
"Perhaps." Ares said, though personally he wasn't convinced that that would be a good idea, the resistance were zealots.
"Do you have a better plan?" the woman asked.
"I am going to push the US president into declaring war. Let Superman reveal himself for the animal he is." Ares said.
"And then what? Let the King and his brothers come and sweep up the mess?" The woman asked.
"Yes." Ares said. "The humans want someone to challenge Superman, they are hungry for it."
"Do you truly think such a thing will work?" The woman asked sounding doubtful.
Ares frowned. "I do."
"Then get to it, and stop delaying otherwise, Hades will get your role in the restoration." The woman said.
Ares laughed. "Hades? I thought he was dead." His uncle was a bit mad, but given how much time he spent in the underworld, Ares could not blame him.
"He is not." the woman said. "Your mother says hello also." With that the woman disappeared, leaving Ares to ruminate on what had been said.
