The trio lined up. Max at the center with Laura on his right side and Cedric on the left.
Elena and Tanya stood on the opposite side, raring for a fight.
Just then, Elena spoke up. "Conan, help us!"
Conan harrumphed. "Hmmph, why should I?"
"Everything else apart from the research on immortality that Nazarene has to offer. I give you my word that everything would become yours and the research, we will share it."
"…Oh really," Conan revealed a toothy grin.
"Help us!"
"Hah, fine." Turning to Max, Conan added. "Well, you heard the Princess. She gave me such a wonderful offer and I can't refuse."
Max merely snorted, not bothered to place any attention on Conan.
"Hoh, I guess a close shave with death made you forget the incident with Bullion." Conan joked as he weaved hand signs.
Max looked him over before turning back to Elena. "Even though I have thought about it, killing you after Tara begged for your life would be hard so I opted for a much better approach."
