Karina's proposal put Rocky in a dilemma...
To be fair, he really wanted to join Karina for a big job. The potential earnings of over a million were a huge temptation for him, especially at a time when he needed money the most.
On the other hand, the backers behind the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group made him feel uneasy. He already had one major enemy; if he also provoked the Wild Horse City, a mid-sized Sky City, life would surely become even more difficult...
Choosing what to do was indeed a tough problem.
So, faced with Karina's probing, Rocky chose to keep calm and didn't answer immediately. He thought it over for quite a while before lifting his eyes and speaking: "Karina, why are you looking to cooperate with me?"
Instead of directly agreeing or declining, Rocky posed this question, which was also something that puzzled him.
