As if a nuclear bomb was dropped from the ceiling of their room, Kayn and Gilbert instantly jumped backward from their seat with their respective weapons ready in their hands.

"Since when?" Kayn asked.

"I always suspected your identities," Maria has never trusted her two personal chefs ever since she found them walking around the barracks of the Hush Village back then.

"Kayn," Gilbert signaled for Kayn to activate his charm on Maria once things go south.

"I know," Kayn already prepared for it.

"You two may calm down," Maria motioned her hand.

In an instant, a strong pressure forced both Kayn and Gilbert to sit back on their sofa.

Telekinesis.

That was Maria\'s Gift.

Kayn knew about it beforehand. As such, he didn\'t panic and simply let Maria do whatever she plans on doing.

In addition to that, he didn\'t feel an ounce of murderous or killing intent coming from Maria, implying that she doesn\'t have the thought of killing them, at least not yet.

There\'s no way of telling when Maria would change her mind, but until then, he\'ll wait it off and see what she wants.

"It was just a pure guess," Maria smiles. "I didn\'t expect that I would get it right,"

"I guess we shouldn\'t have reacted that way," Kayn slightly feel regretful.

"It was because we were so tense," Gilbert realized.

"Probably," Kayn feels the same. He might be the number-one Hero in the past, but he isn\'t now. If he makes the dumb mistake of believing that he is undefeatable still, it won\'t take long for him to cease existing from this timeline.

"Anyways, I don\'t mean any harm," Maria released her telekinesis. "Honestly, it\'s the opposite. I want to establish an alliance with you,"

"An alliance?" Kayn narrowed his eyes in suspicion and doubt.

"I don\'t think anyone knows this, but the Assembly of Freedom is actually no different from the Thieves Guild Alliance," Maria started explaining. "It might look like a formidable organization on the surface, but the truth is, it is actually just a bunch of strong people and their group gathered together to make ourselves look very powerful,"

"At least that\'s what I believed until I discovered that there\'s an even huge organization behind our alliance back,"

"Do you mean Circus,"

"How\'d you know?" Maria was surprised.

"They are quite well known on Earth. An evil organization that brings terror and chaos inside the \'Tower\'. Even the Ten World Leaders are having headaches in dealing with them,"

That\'s right! The organization Circus has long already existed. Its history span from the very moment the \'Tower\' made its ultimate appearance on Earth.

Although that\'s not all there is to the organization. It was said that Circus also existed way before the \'Tower\'. appeared Their hands are pretty much involved in almost every single illegal matter and they\'ve just expanded their operation when they started gaining superpowers.

"I see," Maria finally realized just what sort of thing she got herself into. She admits that\'s a Villain, but not the type that wants to rule the world. The only thing she wants is to be able to do whatever she wants to do without any restrictions or rules to follow whatsoever. "It seems my decision is right,"

"You\'re not controlling her, are you?" Gilbert looks at Kayn.

"What do you mean controlling?" Maria instantly became curious.

"Nothing," Gilbert swiftly keep his mouth closed.

Maria raised her hand, immediately lifting Gilbert to the ceiling. Using her other hand, she started breaking the glass window of the building to the side.

Kayn and Gilbert immediately understood what Maria intended on doing.

"Kayn!" Gilbert shouted at Kayn.

In the next moment, Maria waves her hand.

Bang!

Gilbert was shoved to the cracking glass window as his eyes stared at the heights outside in fear.

The glass window continued cracking as its web slowly approached the edge.

"Okay, stop! I will tell you!" Kayn finally relented after finding out that Maria wasn\'t joking.

Instantly, Maria let her hand go.

Bang!

Gilbert slumped on the sofa near the glass window while breathing heavily. He glimpses behind him and realized just how close he was to dying. Even though his level is high, it still won\'t be enough to survive the fall.

"In the last time\'s operation, I was able to steal Wesley\'s Storage Ring that contains Undead Apple inside,"

Maria instantly understood.

"Just like what everyone who possesses the Undead Apple would do, I used it in every meal that I cooked for you,"

"So, you\'re telling me that any time you want to, you can make me fall at your mercy?" Maria released her murderous intent.

"I can, but I won\'t," Kayn tried to defuse the situation.

"And why should I believe you?"

"Because you propose an alliance with me,"

"That\'s not enough reason,"

"For me, it goes against my principles to harm my allies, even once," Kayn asserted truthfully. Having experienced the depths of betrayal, he was determined not to inflict the same pain on those who genuinely believed in and trusted him. Moreover, Maria is not yet the same Human Hunter Maria he had known before. This presented an opportunity to gain another ally and potentially shift the course of the war in their favor, bringing it to a swift end.

"I know for a fact that Wesley won\'t do it,"

"I am not Wesley,"

"You aren\'t a Hero either,"

"Fair enough," Kayn agrees. "But I still won\'t do it!"

"How about you release my charm, in that way I will believe you,"

"I am not a fool, Maria," Kayn shook his head. "The moment I let go of the one single thing that can save us, that means putting our lives into your hand. I\'m afraid I can\'t do that,"

"And besides, if my intention was to control you, I would have seized the opportunity when you attempted to harm Gilbert just now," Kayn expressed his hope that these words would prompt Maria to realize something.

Fortunately for Kayn, Maria seems to have been enlightened by his words.

"I see,"
