Chapter 2209: 2209. Exchange

"Caesar asked me to make you release these prisoners in exchange for a way out of the sky and Supreme Thief's breakthrough," Noah summarized once the group managed to get back on the main topic.

"He really wants us to be alive until the final battle," King Elbas scoffed.

"Why would we even hear our enemy's pleas?" Divine Demon snorted.

"I don't like it," Steven announced.

"Well, it does involve my breakthrough," Supreme Thief commented, "But it's not stealing if I can just pick it up."

"I smell a ploy," The Foolery exclaimed, "And something else. No, wait. That was me. I smell only the ploy."

"I mean, we already got part of what we wanted," June pointed out.

"Having the sword maniac here would have helped," Wilfred sighed.

Only the main players in Noah's group spoke. The odd dragon, Maribel, and Sepunia knew that they had no place in that conversation. The choice was up to the experts who had made the very idea of standing their ground during the final battle possible.
