Chapter 2070: Return
After leaving Master Asia's room and walking some distance away, Xiao Ran let out a long breath. Master Asia was not easy to fool. In the end, he had neither clearly stated whether he believed what Xiao Ran had said nor explicitly declared that he would stand with Xiao Ran.
In the end, Master Asia merely stated that he would act alongside the Nadeshiko and would not do anything to harm the independent fleet. In return, Xiao Ran had to promise Master Asia not to tell Domon that he was ill, nor tell anyone else about his connection to the Devil Gundam.
Xiao Ran agreed to Master Asia's conditions. As for Master Asia's terminal illness, Xiao Ran would take responsibility for treating it. Although he had not completely persuaded Master Asia, Xiao Ran felt that having him temporarily act alongside the Nadeshiko was enough for now.
The rest could wait until later. After all, this had been Xiao Ran's first meeting with Master Asia, and he had already said enough. As for fighting Master Asia, this was indeed not a good opportunity. Likewise, it was not appropriate to ask Master Asia to find a way to strengthen the Devil Gundam today.
That was right. Even if Master Asia was willing to stand on his side, Xiao Ran still wanted to fight him. There were not many A-class or S-class existences left in this world. Since Xiao Ran had found one, he certainly would not easily choose to play defense. Besides, the mission only required destroying the mecha, not killing the pilot. As long as Master Asia could fight Xiao Ran at full strength, there was no need to worry that Master Asia would die because of it.
