Ann had been observing Alex for a while, or it's better to say that from the moment Luna entered.
Ann knew that Alex had this strange interest in Luna.
She knew about that from the moment Alex had seen Luna.
It was quite apparent to her that Alex was interested in Luna.
Now, he was not romantically interested in Luna, she knew that, but he was interested nonetheless.
So, when Luna offered the Association in exchange for letting her live with them, Ann started thinking of things differently.
'We have Maximus to help us out in the political stuff, but wouldn't it be good to have power of our own?'
Ann knew that Max could help them with almost everything related to politics and all, but having an Association under you was different.
To top it off, they will get a competent subordinate like Luna.
Although Ann didn't want to accept it, she knew that Luna was better at political strategies than her.
That could be useful to them since they don't like getting involved with politics, but it is important as well.
So, if they could have Luna as their subordinate, they could manage the political problems as well.
"What?!"
So, when Ann heard Alice's shocked voice, she calmly turned toward Alice and spoke.
"Trust me on this, it would be better for us."
"I- fine, but at least tell me why you want to keep her here."
Alice was about to say something but as she looked into Ann's eyes, she could see that Ann didn't seem to be confused about anything.
Ann was confident about whatever she was doing, and Alice knew that Ann would never be this optimistic if she didn't have a reason to be.
Luna who was shocked by the sudden support from Ann was also looking at her curiously.
'Thank you very much!'
Inwardly, however, she was thanking Ann with all of her heart.
Luna had a feeling that if Ann didn't support her as she did, then she wouldn't even have a chance to stay here.
How could she have known how true her feelings were?
If Ann and Alice didn't wish for Luna to stay then Alex wouldn't have let Luna stay here, no matter how much interested he was in Luna.
Alex smiled inwardly when he heard that Ann wanted Luna to stay.
But there was Ann's reasoning that was still left for them to hear, and he had an idea of what that could be.
After that, if Alice agreed after listening to Ann's reasoning, then good, Luna could stay, but if she didn't then Luna could only return back to the association empty-handed.
[Why are you interested in that lesser succubus, anyway?]
Suddenly, Sophia asked Alex curiously.
"Then there is the thing that having the Association under our control would be better for us, after all, more power is never bad."
Ann spoke as she looked at Alice.
"But do we have to take the risk of keeping an enemy close to us, just for these things?"
Alice asked.
"I'm not an enemy...."
Luna tried to defend herself, but she shut her mouth and raised her hand in surrender when Alice glared at her.
"We can just make it so that she can never harm us or reveal anything about us...."
Ann spoke with a mysterious smile as she turned toward Alex.
Alex smiled as well.

Alice was still confused.
"Let me call Max."
Alex spoke with a smile and Alice's eyes brightened with realization.
"Yes! How could I forget?"
Alice exclaimed with a smile.
Luna was now confused.
She was still doing fine till Alice asked that question since she could understand the conversation, but now she was confused.
Then she heard Max's name.
Although she knew who Max was, she didn't know that Alex was close enough to him that he called him Max.
But she still didn't get what Max could do in this situation.
However, just as Alex was about to call Max, his phone rang.
Alex who was about to pick up his phone which was kept next to the TV in the hall, raised a brow as he saw the number on the phone.
"Speak of the devil."
He muttered with a smile.
His words were not loud but they were loud enough for everyone in the room to hear and his words caused them to be a bit surprised as well.
'Talk about timing...'
