"Lord Max, please help us."
Max was caught off guard by the sudden shout, and when he saw who it was who had shouted, he became surprised, as this guy was the same one who was planning to act against him with Count Wiley.
Now, however, he was asking for his help without any hesitation or shame in his voice.
In just a moment, he understood why this was so.
'He thinks I don't know the Dalton family was also planning to hunt me down. And though he might be aware of that guy's—James—parents going to kill me at the Cloud Academy, he might want to brush it off as personal enmity. Additionally, he is also relying on the fact that we, as humans, are on the same side and should help each other.'
He couldn't help but feel some respect for his thick skin.
But then he proceeded to ignore him and focused his gaze on Count Wiley, who had gone deathly pale and was looking at him with dread in his eyes and… a black talisman in his hand.
