When Saris woke up and inspected her surroundings, the banshee had a rough idea of the situation. However, she was curious about their motives.
Camille had mentioned that the NSS was allied with the Jade Dragons, so she calmly asked them to explain their objective, threatening everyone in the room with a sharp gaze.
With his back cornered, Ronald decided to tell her the truth, explaining that Netherius had commanded them to hand over Camille in exchange for the safety of the NSS agents.
Not only were the agents present at the checkpoint in danger, but Netherius had also apparently captured another group that he was keeping hostage.
For Ronald, exchanging one life for several others was the lesser of two evils. It was the most logical choice for a man in his position, even if he had friendly relations with Camille.
However, a banshee such as Saris thought differently. A demon didn't care if dozens or hundreds of people died—they only cared about their own allies.
