Hecte's words made sense, but Aegon was still a little worried. The Bandaged Man's attitude, his complete lack of fear toward Aegon's background meant he either possessed terrifying power or had someone powerful backing him.

'Then, I'll put them on this,' Aegon finally gave in. 'But only if Xiu leads the operation. I don't want to disturb her, but if I don't tell her about something this significant, she'll eat me alive later.'
[I can see it happening. But rest assured, Boss, if I'm not there, I don't trust the others to remain civil. Chief's presence is necessary for this mission.]
Aegon hummed softly as he watched the fragments of the barrier dissolve into the air. With its source gone, the formation had lost its fuel and was now crumbling apart.
