Co-operation

"What did you do to me?" Xius asked simply. She didn't sound frightened.
"Nothing. It's just a little insurance to guarantee that we have a jovial co-operation," Han Sen said with a smile.
"There is no grudge between you and me! When you were being hunted by Dragon Fifteen and Long Ying, I did not attack you once. Why are you doing this?" Xius asked calmly.
"I don't mean to trouble you. As I said, I only wish to co-operate with you. If you take me away from Return Ruin Sea, I will take the blight off of you," Han Sen said reassuringly.
"What did you do to me?" Xius asked again.
Han Sen laughed. Some things were better left unsaid. Fear was something no one was immune to.
"Would you believe me if I told you that your life was in my hands?" Han Sen asked.
"Of course," Xius said with certainty.
