"Ethan has already promised that he will never harm our daughter," Max said after a long silence.
"I think… it's feasible."
His voice was steady, but the weight behind those words was heavy.
Bella did not answer immediately. She lowered her gaze, thinking for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"Let's ask Elara first," she replied.
"If she is willing, we will agree directly."
"Alright," Max said, exhaling softly.
Their exchange was brief, carried out through silent transmission.
A moment later, Bella's voice reached Elara.
On the other side of the arena, Elara frowned slightly when she received the message. Her gaze unconsciously drifted toward Ethan's previous position.
She fell into thought.
Ethan had left a good impression on her. Calm, restrained, unfathomable. Compared to Bruce's overwhelming dominance, Ethan felt… stable. Someone she could accept.
Moreover, he was powerful. Handsome. A Supreme who had made even the commander of the Heavenly Palace hesitate.
