Hao Xuan took a minute to consider all the options but he realized Light had never asked anything of him in return.
"Why tell me all this? Do you want me to serve you as well?"
Light casually shook his head denying it immediately, "Not at all. It is true that under normal circumstances there would be a price to pay for this kind of knowledge but consider it a gift since it is our first meeting."
"As long as you don't have a death wish and want to align with Maymon you can consider me an ally. If you chose to ally with either of the other two, well, we can cross that bridge when we come to it."
Then he paused before peering at Hao Xuan with a knowing gaze, "But if you wish to receive one of the items that are required to make the physique your own, that will cost you."
