65 Gaining an ally

"I would like to form a partnership, or rather a friendship with you." I smiled wittingly.

"Hah?!" Jack looked confused and Brad surprised.

"What?!" Leon was looking at me questioningly.

"Don't worry Leon. I know what I am doing, please trust me." I said. I hold his hand and squeezed it gently. He looked tense at first but became calm after. He nodded slightly.

"I have heard about your 'Crimson Bandits' from my grandfather." I said. "You are not just a small group of bandits like you just said. I am sure you are included in a big organization."

"Well, your information is a little correct." Jack said. "But I am correct that my group of bandits only lurks in this certain area. We are just a small group included in a big organization."

"If my hunch is correct, you maybe a relative of the head of this 'organization'." I said with a smile.

"How did you..." Brad said with a fierce voice but Jack gestured him to stop.
