When seeing Russ enter the room, some were surprised by his presence, but when they thought about it more, it actually made a lot of sense. He had great strength and was a large help against the Dalki.
If it wasn't for him, then maybe Layla, Minny and the others would have never survived before Sil arrived. At the same time, they never got to see the full extent of the powers of Russ when using the black sword, because he had already run out of MC cells when it came to facing H.
"I'll be honest, I am surprised to see you here." Chris said.
Although the two of them hardly got directly involved, Pure was around during the time of the Chained, and knew they were one of the large forces before they had been defeated by Quinn and his gang.
"Is it really that surprising?" Peter said with his arms folded. "I heard that he had actually decided to save Sil, and wasn't it because he let Sil touch him that he was able to defeat H?"
