Shatras's barrage of questions did not intimidate John; instead, he saw it as an opportunity to communicate effectively with the Naga Faction.
"We have no ill intentions towards your Naga Faction. Our only wish is to cooperate with you to defend against a potential attack from the Mystery Faction."
John's response shocked both Blue Sea and Adam.
In their view, this admission seemed likely to plunge them into danger.
They were aware of the possibility that the Naga Faction might have already collaborated with the Mystery Faction.
If this were true, the Naga Faction might choose to attack immediately upon hearing John's statement.
John, however, did not seem to consider the reaction of his companions.
He mentioned the Mystery Faction deliberately to exert pressure on the Naga Faction.
Regardless of any covert betrayal, the Naga Faction was still officially part of the Order Faction and would not easily admit any treachery.
