Awarding Ceremony [1]

"Just how many groups are you involved with?"

Brandon had told Bellion as much as he needed to know. 

Of course, there were certain omissions. Such as; the fact that he was the current Primordials' First seat, and details regarding how he was able to defeat Zeke.

"So?"

Brandon began to ask, crossing his arms as he leaned back on the chair.

"Do you still trust me?"

"Do I have a choice?"

Right, even if he had antagonized Bellion due to this event, there was nothing Bellion could do.

After all, [Retribution] was in effect. Chains were ensnared around Bellion's heart, ready to crush it at any moment if he ever brings harm to Brandon.

In the first place, how would Bellion know Brandon had such an ability?

For that reason, Brandon used this opportunity to his advantage. To show Bellion he could be trusted, and the full fruition of his plans in the coming future.

Bellion was an important asset he couldn't lose.
