Carlos had no opportunity for betrayal, not even room for bargaining.
"There's one more question."
Ron looked at Carlos: "Why did you choose me? Just because I defeated the other two hounds?"
"Of course not."
Carlos said somewhat helplessly:
"I calculated the potential among young Wizards who could become 'Great Ones', and you are one of the most promising."
"Following an owner destined for mediocrity holds no value for me.
Only by allying with true strength can one secure a place in the future grand era."
"Moreover, by your behavior, you're not the type to destroy useful tools for no reason.
Choosing you is the optimal solution in my current predicament."
This analysis made Ron feel both acknowledged and somewhat uneasy.
Being noticed by such a calculating fellow, is it fortunate or dangerous?
"I need some time to think."
Ron said: "This decision is too crucial to conclude hastily."
"Of course."
