Just as Atlas had expected, Ramiun agreed. His life was on the line, so for now, he needed to protect himself at any cost.
He had already decided that he was going to take Atlas out after being free, along with getting the key Fragment back. For now, he believed he had underestimated Atlas, not realizing that the guy could also teleport somehow. Next time, he reminded himself that he wasn't going to make that mistake.
For now, he just needed to free himself from Atlas' grasp. Everything else could come later.
"That's good. Take out the Fragment and place it on the ground. After we have a deal, I will free you."
"How can I trust you?"
"How can you not?" Atlas asked. "I only want to get some benefits later. And as you said, I can't get more fragments without your help, so it's better to work with you. I just need to see your sincerity for now. Let me hold onto the first fragment."
