Alain was completely lost.
He had no idea what Xu Mu meant, so forget it. He would just stick with the big shot like before. That had worked out fine.
They were buddies, after all.
Besides, he wasn't worried that Xu Mu would hurt him. If Xu Mu wanted to, there was nothing he could do about it anyway. He wasn't as strong as Xu Mu, so he'd lose no matter what!

Scarred Charizard glanced at Alain and his partner but said nothing.
That left both of
