"Become my follower? You are a member of the branch organization. You are already my follower." Even though Ren was startled by Cassian's request, he could still act calmly.
"That is not what I mean, Young Palace Master," Cassian replied. "I wish to follow you personally, standing behind you, and becoming your shield and sword."
Instead of answering right away, Ren asked another question. "What grade is your talent?"
Not just anyone could become his personal follower because he only accepted powerful and capable subordinates.
"Grade A, Young Palace Master," Cassian replied.
"Cassian, my dream is to become the Ruler. If you become my personal follower, the chances of you dying will be very high. Are you sure about this?" Ren's enemies would grow stronger as time went on because the path to becoming the Ruler was filled with hardship and bloodshed.
