Rocky burst into laughter. "See, this is why I like smart people. You're right, I am going to use you guys. It's impossible for Bind to catch up to me, so it doesn't matter whether you cooperate with me or not - he'll still end up attacking you in the end. But if you do cooperate with me, the chances of your survival will be at least 50% higher."
To be honest, everyone in Party Ace disliked Rocky's condescending attitude, especially a proud person like Zi. She was obviously trying hard to hold back her displeasure.
The man had overwhelming strength! Furthermore, he was holding their party's weakness in his hands. The feeling of having to rein in their seething anger was truly unpleasant.
Rocky evidently knew how Party Ace felt about him, but he knew what he was doing. He knew very well what effect each sentence would achieve.
