Venator had to restrain himself from laughing out loud. Who the hell did these guys think they were, making demands of the Chairman of the Hutt Empire? Were they asking to be killed? "You'd better watch yourself, kid." Venator laughed. The Chairman didn't need to bother himself with trivial matters like these. "You're bargaining with the Hutt Empire, and you're, what? Some little group? I know what it's like. I started at the bottom, and now I'm here. Why? Because I had sense. Sense enough not to make conditional demands with the Chairman of the Hutt Empire. The Chairman has made his deal very, very clear. We'll be business partners, yes. You'll still have control over your group. You will be a part of the Empire; you can keep that quiet and still run small, insignificant to us jobs for the Republic. But you will be a loose part of the Empire. The Chairman will not give you orders often, like a regular soldier, but if he gives you an order, you will take it and complete it. I'm sure that you'll have no problem with that, as you're an intelligent man." Venator sighed. "Unless you wish to call the deal off?"
"That's perfectly acceptable, of course."
"That's perfectly acceptable, of course."
