From the moment Guding realized the true cultivation level of the other party, he knew that their intentions for approaching were not pure—as expected, their help in rescuing Hake came with conditions.
"My condition is that while rescuing Hake, you release as many prisoners as possible from that jail to create chaos. Also, I need you, Guding, to help me open one of the main prison doors," Belanger finally revealed his purpose.
"Why do you think I can help you open the prison door?" Guding found this request a bit strange.
"Because I know you're a network genius. The prison uses an encryption system from the Ancient Era, and though it's old, you should be able to crack it," Belanger had his eyes on this ability of Guding's—more accurately, the ability of the Sea Emperor's—right from the start.
"You want to use us to save someone else?"
"It sounds harsh to say use. I think 'trade' is a more appropriate word," Belanger raised his eyebrows at Guding.
