A flare of menacing magic slithered into the room and skated over my skin. I knew exactly where it came from. Richard wasn’t dumb enough to try to use his nulling powers without a judge or jury present. Simply because I’d pissed him off? I didn’t think so. I smiled at him condescendingly. I’d love to see him fucking try. Even if he attempted to use his powers against me, it would come to nothing. They wouldn’t work on me.
