"We'll make a trade, then."
After Gerard uttered these words, the warehouse was plunged into a moment of silence, even Bai Wei's mind fell quiet.
Ju blinked her eyes at Gerard, Unnerving him with her gaze until he was compelled to break the silence: "Any problems?"
And he received two responses at the same time.
"What do you think?" came Bai Wei's retort.
"You're a wanted criminal," Ju's reply was more blunt, "Do wanted criminals still make trades?"
Gerard massaged his temples, finding himself at a loss for words as the situation was indeed complicated. He attempted to explain: "I've run into some trouble, but..."
"You've been wronged?"
"...How did you know?"
Ju, with head bowed, slow-scuffed the dirty tip of her shoe on the ground: "I've met some, the... families of my dad's comrades? When they were accused of being Rebels, they all claimed they were innocent."
"...Is that so?"
