Lucy stared at Mike and Maria with a sharp gaze, as if trying to determine whether they were truly serious about this offer. "If I help you," she finally said, "what guarantee do I have that you won't betray me once the goal is achieved? In this world, trust is a rare commodity."
Mike raised his hand, trying to reassure Lucy. "We understand the risk. I won't betray someone who fights alongside me. Let's focus on the same goal: destroying the owners of Heaven's Blessing and creating a better world. After that, we can go our separate ways."
Maria added, "We all have the same enemy. This alliance can give us more power than just acting alone. We both need your skills."
