"I came to ask for a favor, Phantom Hands!" Lionel said as he crossed his arms.

His demeanor suddenly became big, and that was because he was talking to the old man as the Lion King now.

Of course, the old man knew that and that was why he switched gears instantly.

He switched gears as he spoke to the Lion King as the Phantom Hands.

"Favor? I know that what you did for me is big. You helped me hide from one of the Six Gods, and I'm thankful for that."

"However, I think you are forgetting that I am still being hunted down by him and his subordinates."

"I can't just go out of my hiding place just because of you. I can't leave any trace those guys could possibly use."

"And I don't think you'll want them to visit you again."

Phantom Hands said as he looked at Lionel with his left eye. Of course, what he said was reasonable.

Even though Lionel was able to miraculously hide the Phantom Hands before, there is no way that would happen again.

After all, it was one of the Six Gods who was hunting the Phantom Hands!

If that God suspected that Lionel was lying to him, he could just kill Lionel!

There was no need to overcomplicate things by playing mind games with him!

That was why the Phantom Hands said what he said. He was grateful for what Lionel did for him before but asking him to go out now was just suicide.

It was suicide for the Phantom Hands but it was also suicide for Lionel.

In a way, rejecting Lionel's request is actually helping Lionel.

However, there's no way Lionel would back down because of that.

After all, Lionel already knew that, and yet he still went out of his way just to meet this old man.

That means that he was just that serious, and that means that Lionel really needed the Phantom Hands' help.

"I know what you are saying. I understand it all, and I am willing to risk it all."

"Besides, the place where we will be going to is a private property of mine."

"There won't be any pesky eyes, and I can assure you that your traces would be wiped cleanly."

"I will do it myself."

And when Lionel said that, Phantom Hands began thinking. After all,?it seems that Lionel wouldn't back down at all.

What's more, Lionel even said that he would wipe out Phantom Hands' traces himself.

That was something that shows how sincere Lionel was, but Phantom Hands' thoughts ended as Lionel spoke once more.

"Of course, I know that what I'm asking right now is too burdensome for you. That's why I'll say it in my name."

"Once you get in trouble with the God who is hunting you, I will fight with you."

"The Lion Clan...no, fuck that. I will fight with you with the intention to save you."

"I will fight with you against the pesky god. I will swear in my name, of course, if you agree to my request."

"How about that, Aimon?"

And when Phantom Hands...Aimon heard what Lionel said, his left eye widened a little bit.

After all, what Lionel just said was that he would come to Aimon's side even if he were to get caught by the god who was hunting him.

Of course, Lionel didn't bring the Lion Clan into the conversation as he knew that would just mean shit. Not everyone in the clan would agree with his every decision.

And Aimon knew that as well, but the fact that Lionel was ready to fight for him against a god is already a huge boon for Aimon.

Why? It was because Lionel is strong. Of course, that was normal as Lionel is a Conqueror.

However, just the fact that he has a Conqueror on his side is something Aimon wanted.

What's more, if Aimon could gather a few more allies on his side, he might even be able to fight against the god who was hunting him!

He might have the chance to finally shake off the shackles of that god and live freely!

Just the possibility of that is enough to shake Aimon's old heart!

"Where are we going, then? If that place is secured enough-" Aimon said, but Lionel cut him off.

After all, there was no need to finish that sentence when Lionel knew what it was about.

"We will go to my training ground. We will go to the Lion's Forest."

Aimon's left eye widened once more as he heard what Lionel said.

Why? It was because that place was something not known to the public.

It was a place where only Lionel's closest subordinates know its location. It wasn't a place where anyone could just come in!

Not even Varyce knew where the Lion's Forest was located.

After all, Lionel treats the Lion's Forest as his sacred ground! It was the place where Lionel trains his body, and it was the place where Lionel creates his techniques!

It was the place where the Lion King created himself!

Of course, not even Aimon knew where that was, and yet, here is Lionel saying that they would go there.

The terms and conditions of this...favor that Lionel is asking for is a huge loss to Lionel. It was as if Lionel were giving everything he has just for this request!

That was why Aimon thought that the price of this would be huge.

However, the fact that his safety is assured and that the place where they would go to is the Lion's Forest is big.

What's more, Lionel would also swear in his name that he would fight by Aimon's side.

That was why Aimon was more or less going to agree to this request of Lionel.

However, Aimon first needed to know what the request was, and that was why he spoke once more.

"You're giving too much room to me, just what is it you're asking for?"

"I don't think that you would need me that much. You're a Conqueror."

"Just what is it that you want from me, Lionel?!"
