"Alright. I will backout."

Nux spoke up.

"3 chances." He continued, Lazarus frowned, however, he decided to listen to what Nux was about to say.

"Just like before, the Bloodheart House needs to come to our aid when we request it, however, this time, the Bloodheart House has the option to reject us. If the Bloodheart House feels that helping us in a particular situation is not worth it, or the house itself has some situation they need to handle, they can reject our clan's request and we retain the chance.

This way, the Bloodheart House wouldn't have to get into a messy situation, and we would get what we want.

What do you think?"

"You haven't changed anything." Lazarus was straightforward.

"I gave you the option to reject our request."

"That is just twisting words, do you think you would ever find yourself in a situation where the Bloodheart House wouldn't have the power to save you? Just our name alone would be enough to help you most of the time. A situation where we would need to access the situation and reject your request would never arise."

"Then I don't understand, if only your name is enough to solve most of our problems, then why wouldn't you help your sister's clan?"

Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face and suddenly, Lazarus's expression changed as he glanced at Melia.

Seeing his expression, Amaya smiled a little.

'That was a good one.'

She complimented.

'I learned from the best.' Nux replied.

"That sneaky boy." Ambrosia chuckled.

"He knows when to use his cards." Orpheus nodded as well.

"Do you think Laza would fall for it?" Ambrosia questioned.

"He will." Orpheus nodded without hesitation.

Of course, it was not because he thought his son was a fool. Orpheus may not show it, but he was proud of his children. Both his children are far better than he was when he was their age. Lazarus is smart enough to realize what Nux was trying to do.

Nux was using his sister to gain something from him, even a child could see that.

And Lazarus could easily avoid it if he wants to, however, the thing was, he could avoid it, 'if' he wants to.
