She saw why Aria annoyed him? How could Cross possibly do that from that one exchange. The attitude hardly bothered him, he dealt with Cross just as gruffly. No Aria was a plauge upon the earth yet she was one of the better hunters. It irked him to no end that she'd dispatched her father. Maybe it was because he was her father she was able to get close enough. That had to be the case.
But Jacinda continued on as if the girl was inconsequential and she was right to think so. The girl would be dead before the week was out - if he had any say in the matter.
"We will hunt Ascendancy as soon as the little whelp has her shot. The Regus' commands are not for me to change. We are going to him now."
But the secondary concern hit the nose on the head. The Atharim had been searching for gods internally. There had been a few of note - one still at large to his knowledge. His hunter hadn't returned and Martin wondered if Luciano had failed them or had he joined with his own cousin to thrawt their attempts on his life. Martin didn't think so. Hunters failed all the time when fighting gods who were not sick in bed. And any Atharim god was going to be careful and definitely not show any signs.
"We have a division of the Atharim working on those very things. If you have concerns. You can send them to me and I will insure they make it to the appropriate ears. Atharim gods are more dangerous than the monsters in the ranks like Aria Piccolo."
It had been his job to do just that. But not any longer. "Our job is to hunt external gods, or ones they send us after"
Martin turned to Cross. "Was there anything else?"
He was standing outside of the Regus' office. His assistant was on the phone he would wait - he only hoped the Regus would see him now.
((in a holding pattern until the Regus is free))
