Chapter 52
When Anubis and Cale were alone, the Warlord of Cruelty gave Cale a big smile, "You seem to have a problem with keeping your mouth shut."
"I'm only looking out for your well-being," Cale replied.
"Give me one reason why I should believe that you'll tell Talpa about the Partnership?" Anubis smirked.
"Because I can," Cale replied.
"Just like I can tell Talpa about the Masayori incident," Anubis grinned.
Cale's yes went wide, "You wouldn't?"
"That all depends," Anubis smiled. "If you don't want me to tell Talpa about the Masayori incident, then you won't tell Talpa about the Partnership."
"I think you're bluffing," Cale bit out.
"Only one way to find out," Anubis said flatly, "your call."
Cale glared daggers at his leader; if Anubis wasn't bluffing, and he did tell Talpa about the Masayori incident, his master would have him executed for disobeying orders plus consorting and dealing with a traitor. No, Cale could not risk it.
"Fine," Cale sighed, "I'll keep my mouth shut."
"Good," Anubis smiled as he left Cale's Room, "I knew you'd see it my way."
When Anubis reached the hallway, Dais and Sekhmet ran over to him. "Were you able to convince Cale to keep his mouth shut?" Dais asked.
"Hai," Anubis replied.
"What did you say to him?" Sekhmet smirked.
"Let's just say, I made him an offer he couldn't refuse," Anubis grinned.
Dais and Sekhmet smiled.
NOTES:
1. According to Dynasty History, in the mortal year 1864, a vassel named Masayori Takano lead an uprising against Talpa. Cale was dispached to kill the upstart and crush his supporters. There was a 3 month seige in the Eastern Region until Masayori invited to Cale to talk about peace. An underhand deal was made where Cale would spare the upstart and in return, the Warlord of Coruption would recieve the Eastern Region as a fief. This underhand deal was against Talpa's orders.
2. So in layman's terms, Anubis is blackmailing Cale so he won't talk about the Partnership. I know it would normally be considered low for the Warlord of Cruelty, but Anubis is only trying to protect Jazalyn and the other partners from getting hurt.
