"YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU UTTER THAT NAME!"
Belle screamed, still trying to strangle Atlan. But the Beast stopped her before she could get any closer to Atlan.
Ninth looked back at Atlan.
"I was simply telling the truth," Atlan shrugged his shoulders.
"Carmine told me the real story about Belle. She was part of a research party about the Beast, but when they were trapped in the castle with no way out, her team threw her out to save themselves.
Her team made it out alive, and Belle was never found again, until now. Everyone thought she would be forever lost in the Remedium, but now, who would have thought that she took control of the Beast for her own sake?"
Ninth looked back at Ninth.
"So she was lying. There's still no reason for me to refuse her request. We need to deal with the Dragon, and we can only do that with their help."
Atlan pointed at the camera in his battle suit, signaling for Carmine to explain.
