Alliance? Gabriel didn't really find anything wrong with that, but he still had several questions… why would she want to form an alliance with someone like him? He already had tons of enemies and was making new ones every day.
Scarlet seemed to see through what he was thinking and added, "You don't have to answer immediately. But think carefully, Gabriel. The Adventurer Guild has enemies everywhere, and you… you attract trouble like a magnet. If we stand together, it will at least keep others wary."
Gabriel tilted his head slightly, studying her pale face. She wasn't lying. In fact, her words carried weight. He had seen enough scheming in his past life to know when someone was trying to use him and when someone was being direct. Scarlet was being direct.
"Alliance means shared enemies," Gabriel muttered, crossing his arms. "If your guild comes under fire, that trouble will fall on me too."
