Charlus dragged Lucie to the side.
"Now listen. These are very dangerous people. Now, go to your room and don't come out. I will talk to you later." Charlus warned Lucie very seriously. He then turned back and went to the living room to talk to Ian Boreas.
"Mr Ian, I see that my companion has served you some refreshments. I hope that we can start discussing business now."
Charlus sat opposite Ian. He waited for Ian to speak.
"Yes. I am quite surprised to see you here, I must say. I was expecting that you would be gone by now. How are you here though?" Ian asked Charlus.
Charlus chuckled. "I have no idea, sir. Perhaps Boreas wants nothing to do with me."
Ian's face turned serious. "Now, as for why I am here. I was told that you have something for me."
Charlus nodded. He got up and went to the room he locked the girl in. He saw that the girl was still crying. He went forward and picked her up. He then went back to the living room.
Charlus plopped her on the main hall. He waited for a response.
After a while, Ian asked Charlus, "Are you trying to sell me trafficked goods?"
A person who was behind Ian leant forward and whispered in his ear. Ian became serious.
"Are you aware of the conflict between the Boreas Family and the Chione Family?" Ian asked Charlus.
"I am aware of some conflict of interest but I don't fully understand the details. Please enlighten me."
Ian sighed.
"You probably remember the explanation I rambled to you that day. You know that an entity called 'Khione' is inside Eva. But this entity was actually sealed by the ancestors of the Boreas Family in the strongest person of the family - the heiress."
Charlus nodded. He was very unclear on the details and he finally understood everything properly.
Ian continued. "The Chiones are descendants of people who believe in the Goddess Khione. They believe that the goddess is supposed to be clear so we, her imprisoners, are their sworn enemies."
Charlus finally understood everything. But he still wanted to confirm one thing.
"Sir, this Khione. If she is released, what will happen?"
"Destruction. Chaos. It is written in the records that Khione is the Goddess of Snow and Ice. She will bring death by freezing to the entire world. The only thing keeping her from doing that is the heiress. But we have to make sure that a proper ritual is done to contain her after the 18th birthday of the heiress. Anytime before that and the Goddess will break free."
Charlus nodded. "So what did the Chiones do to Eva?"
"They disturbed her energy. Everyone at the Boreas Family has a core of energy. But if it is disturbed, they can no longer properly use their power. If it remains damaged, Khione will escape." Ian looked dejected.
Charlus sighed. "I am very sorry sir. I believe we got off on the wrong foot. I think I can be in an alliance with you. I can attack the Chione Family along with you."
Ian stood up. "I appreciate the offer young man, but I refuse. I would not like to involve such a young man in our affairs, and I can't see you doing anything for us. What can we even achieve by attacking the Chione Family?"
Charlus smirked. "Sir, the persons who have the most information is not you. It is the Chione Family. They are the ones who will know the most about Khione. They will know how to stop Khione and save your daughter."
Charlus dangled his bait in front of Ian. Ian caught it.
"Are you sure you can do anything?"
"Sir, just give me time. And information. How many of these executives do they have? Who else are there? As long as I have this information I can prepare!"
Charlus started becoming excited. Ian shook his head and just stepped forward.
"To me, my priorities are straight - finding a cure to save my daughter. Your mission can be considered secondary. But I will say this. You are now considered an ally of the Boreas Family. You will be expected to assist any Boreas Family Members in danger and you will not attack any of our members. Do you understand?"
Charlus nodded. He shook Ian's hand.
"Pleasure doing business with you sir."
Ian left while Charlus was happily appreciating his new reward.

Charlus smiled. He would keep continuing to collect such materials so he could forge a scythe. He did not want to use his Personal Weapon a lot because it raises a lot of suspicions. Why does it go through people instead of cutting them? Charlus knew that he would be better foo with a scythe that was as good as his current one but that was more known to the real world.
Charlus also checked his new quest.
