(Planet Juxta, The Holding Cell, Leo's POV)
On a personal level, Leo really wanted to help his friend Su Yang, however, as a representative of the Cult, he could smell a shit deal when he saw one, and in his opinion, this deal wasn't something he could accept under its current framework.
"Alright—" he began, as he looked Su Yang square in the eye and let out a deep sigh.
"Since you're my friend, let me be straight with you. The Su Clan allying with the Cult doesn't seem that bad… and since the Righteous Faction is our enemy anyway, we don't mind fighting a war against them.
However, to secure our alliance, you will need to make way more concessions than what you're offering right now." Leo said, as he glanced at Veyr, who nodded in approval as if he supported Leo no matter what he said, even though he had no idea what was coming next.
