Earlier, when Nick had approached the Juggernaut, Greed, it initiated a conversation.
It happened as soon as Nick infused Greed with Specter Zephyx.
At that moment, Greed suspected that this newcomer had a method of unmasking Specters that had never been seen before.
Even more, Greed didn't know how this ability worked, and he didn't know how to counter it.
"If you unmask me, I will kill you and make it seem like an accident."
That was what Greed had transmitted to Nick via the unique method the Specters used to communicate.
The Champion could overhear human voice transmissions, but he couldn't overhear Specters talking to each other.
When Greed said that, Nick didn't show any sign of panic.
"If I don't unmask you, I will die," he transmitted back. "The Champion will strike me down, and I can't survive an attack from him. On the contrary, you have to be careful with how you strike me. If it's too strong, you become suspicious."
