Stanley was surprised at first, but he couldn't reject Ezra's request. Ezra had also informed the association president, so there wasn't really much he could say.
After meeting with Nasir and Iman, Ezra decided to visit their country together with the group from the Federation that are supposed to go there to offer their support as the agreement was. Nasir was a direct man, so he didn't hold back when expressing to Ezra that they didn't really need the help of the Federation. Ezra couldn't fault the man, after all they were currently, the world's leading power in terms of hunters, and strong ones at that.
