It wouldn't be a lie if I said that I wasn't tempted, but I also knew that things weren't going to be so simple. He was simply helping me because I was useful to him. He wanted me to rely on him more and more until I was completely under his control.
He didn't show it, but I could tell.
This was why I had been so cautious.
However...
'The mission is looming closer, and I'm nowhere near reaching the Fourth Order.'
