[Zodiac of the <Aquarius temple>.  The owner of the Chalice requests a negotiation.]

Lee Gun scoffed at the notification. What? Negotiation?? His eyes turned menacing.

Since only Lee Gun could hear the notification, Sophie was puzzled.

‘What nonsense is this?’

Lee Gun’s reaction was expected. When he had tried to eliminate the Cancer, the Aquarius had shown up and said the Cancer was a contracted partner.

‘I’m pretty sure it was one of the five that appeared.’

‘Negotiation?’

Lee Gun ground his teeth. Then, he heard the notification again.
