They definitely wanted to do exactly what Atlas said. The problem was that he was standing right next to the treasure chest.
"Y-you aren't going to go back on your word, are you?" Jason said.
"If I was going to do that, then wouldn't I have done it by now?"
"But maybe you'll kill us when you see what's inside the chest…"
"If I was going to do that, then I would've opened the chest myself?"
"Right…"
Jason still didn't seem to quite trust him, as he eyed Nadia and had her put a barrier over him before he approached closer and grabbed the chest.
It seemed their battle together hadn't bred any trust, not that it offended Atlas in any way.
He stayed where he was and watched from afar as the group crowded around the chest and put a barrier over themselves.
