An Offer for an Alliance!

"Aish…" Ryu Taro forced out a smile towards Pedro whilst rubbing the back of his head—seemingly embarrassed. Then, he said, "That's not what I meant, mister Black… I apologize!"

"It's just that… I am amazed at the feat that you and the ARES Guild were able to achieve in the game." Ryu Taro added.

Pedro simply smiled in response before saying, "I am honored. But… It's not that amazing, to be honest."

Pedro paused for a second, as he enters a discussion room with everyone else. Then, as he walks towards his seat, he added, saying, "I just took every opportunity I got and used them to my advantage. Just like how you would also probably do when you are in my place! So, it's nothing really special!"

"Anyway…" Pedro glanced towards Kazuto Kageyama and Ryu Taro before he took his seat. Then, he said, "Please take a seat… There's something that I am excited to discuss with you, Mister Kageyama and Mister Ryu."
