"What?!" Joshua said in surprise. "Say it again? I think I misheard you. I could've sworn you just said something ridiculous."
They had been enemies for fifty years, so proposing an alliance out of the blue was absurd, especially considering the countless battles, betrayals, and bloodshed between them.
Xander was not surprised by Joshua's reaction because he would react the same if he were in his shoes. "I know this sounds crazy, but I want us to be allies."
"You bastard! Do you think I would fall to your tricks?" of course, Joshua suspected they had bad intention because they had been enemies for decades. "If you have nothing else to say, then I'm ending this call."
"Joshua, I'm serious. I truly want to form an alliance with you." Xander said with a serious tone and expression.
Joshua narrowed his eyes. "Give me a solid reason."
