Listening to the two arguing with each other, Daniel caught the key message: the reason why the Hightower had sent people to hunt him down is because of Vlad's actions in Europe. They need to kill him or show those protestors that they are still in control.
"I could let you off the hook, along with your boss and your comrade this time… but you must agree to answer some of my questions," said Daniel.
Echo-3 warily looked at Daniel. He still didn't trust him, but then, when he seriously thought about it, he didn't have a choice either. Since Daniel is stronger than him, he might have killed him and used some absurd artifact to ask directly from his soul.
The best outcome for him is to accept the deal. At least, this way, he can keep his life to fight for another day.
"What do you want to ask?" Echo-3 inquired.
