"What would happen if I were to decline your request?"
This was Alex's first question, making Greeny's expression freeze. He was unable to realize why Alex was asking that question, but soon, realization flashed past his eyes, making a wistful smile appear on his lips.
"You can rest assured. We would not force you to do our work, nor will we be on your back, trying to kill you just because you denied our request." Greeny looked deep into Alex's eyes, not avoiding eye contact, as eyes always spoke the truth before he added, "We are looking for someone who could become one of our trusted friends, not someone who would accept our request out of fear."
Greeny paused, staring at Alex, as he continued, "The only reason I used everything in my power to come here under the system's nose was to leave a good impression of our family in your mind—to make you trust us, to make our bond stronger even if it is because I am able to provide you more information."
