Atlan's words interrupted the good mood that was about to overcome Beauty. She thought she would convince Ninth about her proposal, but a little boy suddenly interrupted their meeting.
"Does he speak for your team?" Beauty asked Ninth.
She was insinuating that Atlan was a nobody. After all, it looked like he was the only one that was against their cooperation. And since his words don't matter, then they should continue their agreement.
Ninth picked up on this subtle fact. Even though she didn't like Atlan interrupting their moment, she wasn't going to let the disrespect against him pass by without saying anything.
"His word is as valuable as mine," Ninth proclaimed. "If he wants to say something, then let him say it in peace. We're not in a hurry here, are we? Or do you have a reason why you are hurrying to seal the deal on our agreement?"
Beauty immediately flashed a smile, making sure that there was no tension between her and Ninth.
