Ali and Rebecca gazed at Laxus with expectant eyes.
Laxus knitted his brows tightly, seemingly deep in thought. After pondering for a long time, he still didn't say a word. Seeing him like this, Kosa couldn't help but feel even more smug.
"Then it looks like Ali's first mate will definitely be me," Kosa declared.
Watching the arrogant expression on his face, Ali's eyes reddened.
"Brother, what on earth are you thinking? What are you hesitating for?" Ophelia stomped her feet in anxiety as she watched from the sidelines.
Rebecca also spoke up, equally agitated. "That's right, Laxus! Ali is such a wonderful young female. Even if you two become mates, you won't be losing out at all."
Seeing Laxus's indecision, Ali bit her lip and said resentfully, "You don't need to say anymore, Rebecca. Worst comes to worst, I'll just become mates with Kosa."
Seeing Ali compromise, Kosa nodded. "Then there's no need for the rest of the competition. Just announce me as the winner."
