Vaan's Answer

"Join us," Black Crow stated his intention with bright eyes. "People with skills like yours are just what our organization needs."

"But do I need an organization like yours?" Vaan coolly retorted while giving Black Crow a ridiculous look. "Your head must have been kicked by a donkey or something. Why on earth would I join the losing side? Your joke is not funny at all."

Right after Vaan spoke, the other Peak C-rank hunters looked like they wanted to attack him immediately.

However, Black Crow stopped them calmly, seemingly unaffected by Vaan's insulting and provocative words.

"Do you think we are losing because the witches have us cornered on this mountain?" Black Crow calmly asked as he shook his head. "You can't be more wrong. It is true that we had nowhere else to run, but that doesn't mean we are trapped. On the contrary, we wanted you all to come here."
