"Ugh." Snake groaned as he tasted blood in his mouth. It was an unpleasant feeling.
Looking in the direction he was attacked, he saw a familiar face, and his expression contorted.
"You…"
Max stood at the same location he stood before he was blown away. "Who the hell have you the right to go after my younger brother?... Only I have the right to beat him up, got that?"
On the side, Cedric was torn between feeling grateful for Max's appearance and restraining the urge to choke him to death for being so shameless.
Just then, Snake spoke up. "I was wondering why you were a part of this expedition, considering your peculiar situation but it would seem you had your uses."
"You know about my condition?" Max was slightly surprised by this as apart from the Frogs and his mother, he hadn't met anyone that could pinpoint his circumstances.
