"So, what will it be then?"
Sato stared at Reeves before responding, "What do you mean 'what will it be'? I said it before and I will say it again."
Sato slowly raised his sword and pointed it at Reeves.
"You will all die for pursuing a comrade of mine."
[Sprint]
Like a cheetah on the run, Sato dashed at Reeves.
Reeves wasn't expecting Sato to reject him much less attack him. His statement was almost flawless and very reasonable. Plus if Sato were to attack him, he(Sato) would have to not only watch out against his(Reeves) attack but also Rolo's. Even if Sato was an Expert, he wouldn't be able to protect his teammates neither would he be able to hold out against them all so easily. So from a logical point of view, even if Sato wanted to kill him, it would have been best to team up with him and then finish off Rolo and teammates first before attacking him, and Reeves had planned for that.
