'Should I just use force? Or should I try something else…?'
Max was thinking of plans on how he should get the higher-ups of the Association to sign a contract.
"I would advise you against that."
But just as Alex's voice fell, he stopped thinking and looked at Alex for a second before he asked.
"Why?"
Max was confused.
He knew many things about the Association after all, they were his enemy in a way, and he would be foolish to not have information about them.
He knew their limits, he knew their powers, he knew what they could do, and he knew what they could not.
But he didn't find anything challenging with the power he had under his command. He hadn't yet taken over the country because he didn't want to expose his family to more trouble.
'Why do you want me to stop?'
He couldn't understand why Alex advised that he should not attack the Association.
