Crumbled

Oliver's anger soared when he saw Max disregard him, but instead of attacking, which he wanted to do, he sneered and watched him walk over to Lily and Emily instead.

He was well aware of their condition. How could he not when he was the one responsible for them, especially Emily's condition. 

'I'll kill you, but first let's see you cry and beg.' He thought, a sadistic glint flashing in his eyes. Given Emily's condition, he knew she wouldn't last for long, and the only strong king rank mages like Azaroth or he could save her.

But the problem was, could Max ask someone like Azaroth to help him? From what he could see, the answer was no.

Then, the only one who could save Emily was him, and him alone, meaning Max had no choice but to ask for his help. 

Now, the question was… would he help him?

Yes, he would, but not unless Max begged for it on his knees. As for why he would save her, the answer was obvious. He… wanted Emily too.
