Lucas stared at Anne with a serious look on his face. He can see the confusion and the doubt in her eyes, and as the female lead in this mission world, he needs this person close to him throughout his whole stay in this mission world.
"Anne, listen to me, After we rescue this group, the Haven will engage to go out in space. This means that this group that we need to rescue has the last piece of information or maybe gadgets that will help them achieve their goal. We should take this chance to have some sort of leverage against the higher court so that they don't try to threaten and use us anymore." He told Anne with a frown, taking a step forward towards her and holding her hands within his.
"L-Lucas I understand what you are trying to say but, they are innocent people. W-Why do we need to persecute them?" She asked with a worried tone. Lucas reaches up to her face and places his palm on her cheek.
