The offer was appealing. Khan didn't care about the Hive's ideology and goal but could see the benefits of peaceful cooperation. After all, that organization had almost succeeded in kidnapping a Princess. It was capable and could definitely be useful.

Khan didn't only need as many allies as possible. The Hive's support could help him operate in grey areas without giving his enemies leverage. Moreover, securing its cooperation could shield him against other hidden threats. The parties connected to Raymond would find it hard to reach Khan with a criminal organization watching his back.

Besides, cooperating with the Hive would prevent it from looking for different allies. Khan could add a powerful asset to his political array while avoiding leaving that spot open to his enemies, killing two birds with one stone.
