No one present expected Klein to actually agree to Leon's request.
"Brother, how could you agree?" Ali couldn't understand. Ophelia had never liked her brother to begin with. If he didn't confirm his partnership with her soon, who could guarantee there wouldn't be unexpected changes?
Klein knew his sister was worried about him, but since he had dared to agree, he was already prepared. Besides, he never intended to force Ophelia into a partnership.
Ali didn't know what to say, and the room fell silent for a moment. Seeing the atmosphere become too stiff, she hurriedly changed the subject. She took Laxus's hand, walked up to Klein, and blushed. "Brother, I like Laxus. I want to become partners with him."
Afraid that Klein would refuse, she quickly added, "Brother, whether you agree or not, I'm going to be his partner. I just like him."
Hearing Ali's absolute determination, Klein lowered his gaze to look at Laxus, seeing a solemn expression on the other man's face.
