Max smiled, "I don't think it's entirely up to you," and turned towards Baba Jezda, "The old guy said he will agree to your demands if you bring me along."
Her eyes immediately widened, "I-Is that the truth?" she stuttered which was a first for her.
"Of course, I swear on my mark!"
"Alright."
"WHAT?!"
Hao Xuan couldn't believe what he was seeing, "He threatened me in front of everyone! Do you really think he won't go through with it? He's the CHAMPION of Madness and Insanity!"
Baba Jezda shook her head once, "He won't, he can't. His master has already agreed to my demands and as such, no harm can come to you until we are finished with our business."
'Right, and it doesn't matter what happens after that, huh?'
Hao Xuan ground his teeth indignantly. Whatever 'deal' she had made with the Red King tumped her need for him, which was saying a lot considering how much depended on his success.
