Francesca waited patiently, her eyes locked onto Jaegar's as he pondered her offer. The atmosphere in the dimly lit cafe felt heavy with tension, and Jaegar couldn't help but consider the implications of his decision. 

He knew who Francesca was – the sister of Megan, and at the same time, she was a government official whose job was to hunt. He thought about what would happen if he were to reject her.

Finally, he said it anyway. "I am not interested in joining." His tone is very laid-back.

Francesca's smile, which had been a sign of hope, froze on her face. She blinked in surprise, needing confirmation of what she had just heard. "What? What did you say?"

Jaegar repeated his decision, "I'm not interested."

He continued, "I don't have any thoughts of including myself with others. I won't interfere in any of your matters either."
