"I'm here to look for Ms. Valeria. I was overcome with emotion when I learned she was still alive. I know you're looking for an opportunity to take over Mystic Vessel Sect from Hill.
That's why I came to see if there's anything I can do to help," Ethan said frankly.
That response left Gustav somewhat taken aback. He had not expected Ethan to be so open and honest.
"Why are you helping me, Ethan? I know my disciple killed one of yours, so I'd already be counting my lucky stars if you didn't hate me. Why would you still help me? On top of that, you were secretly in contact with Demonic Cultivators and used them to kill my disciples. Now, you turn around and say you want to help us. How am I supposed to trust you?" Since Ethan had been so forthright, Gustav did not beat around the bush and immediately brought up the fact that Ethan had been communicating with Demonic Cultivators.
