Max chuckled softly as he casually placed the hyper-realistic mask on the table. Taking a seat, he grinned. "To avoid arousing suspicion, I had to disguise myself. I apologize for the theatrics."
Lucius' gaze sharpened as he inquired, "Max, what is your purpose for being here this time?"
With a playful smirk, Max replied, "Initially, I came to discuss a potential partnership. However, as soon as I entered, I overheard your conversation. If you're looking for information about Nathan's movements, I can certainly provide that."
It became clear then. As an elite vampire, Max possessed exceptional hearing, allowing him to overhear Lucius' discussion as soon as he entered the house, thus learning about the predicament Lucius and his group were facing.
Lucius asked suspiciously, "Can you obtain Nathan's schedule?"
Max chuckled and responded, "That shouldn't be a problem."
"How can we be certain of your intentions? If Nathan sent you to deceive us, wouldn't trusting you be walking into a trap?" Lucius questioned.
Max laughed lightly. "You have armies monitoring everything from above, don't you? The Divine Realm's space army is currently limited, with only a small number of spaceships ready for battle. If I were to deceive you, wouldn't I fear that your powerful space army would retaliate to avenge your grievances?"
Lucius responded with a derisive sneer, "I'm glad you recognize my power."
Max then said, "To demonstrate my genuine intent to collaborate, I will obtain Nathan's latest itinerary for you. It will be delivered tonight. Given Nathan's current state of injury, your collective force should easily overpower him. His defeat will prove my sincerity. After that, we can begin our alliance."
Lucius' pulse quickened with anticipation.
