Time to Take a Risk 

"So you are going to refuse..." The woman looked at her companion, feeling this was most likely, considering the growing situation in this area.

As free people with growth potential, it would be interesting not to 'auction off' what they had without knowing exactly where they might end up. Maybe joining Calvert's faction would be too worthwhile because their future was not as promising as they thought. But maybe it was the other way around, and it would be better to negotiate this in the future when they would be more sure of their limits.

However, whether it was logical or not, they belonged to the Calvert faction and were unhappy with Minos' decision to go that way.

Not only that but in only a year since they had last seen Minos, he had already advanced one level, something impressive, considering that less than two years ago, he had reached level 74.

So this refusal had much more meaning now than if it had been made a year ago.
