But even though Mark was only speaking condescendingly, Mark was right about what he said. It would be a bad idea to break a promise that was made in front of the River Styx. If Mark had not asked for the gift or if he had relinquished Charon's responsibility and allowed him to not keep to the promise, then the Styx would have simply let it go, and there would be no punishment.
But now that Mark has spoken about it, Charon has to keep his word or he will receive punishment from the Styx.
"I am the son of darkness and the night, the overseer placed in charge of the River Styx. By my power, I grant you this gift."
...

[Unpacking successful. The User has gained a new Divine Skill [Achilles Heel]]
[Achilles Heel: This skill enables the user to swiftly detect and expose weaknesses and vulnerabilities in opponents or objects, providing a strategic advantage in combat. Vulnerable areas will be exposed using a red hue. The darker the shade of red, the more vulnerable the area is.]
[This skill cannot be upgraded or improved. All inherent properties are permanently set.]
...
[Comment from GoG: Oh, that's a pretty useful one. For a useless god, Charon really knows how to show off when it counts. Show the proper gratitude, Mark.]
...
"Thanks, Charon. I'm really grateful for the gift and your blessings."
Charon huffed.
"Well, at least you know how to show proper gratitude in the face of such enormous favor. It will do you well to not disappoint me after all, champion."
Mark couldn't see Charon's face properly, but he could glimpse a small smile tugging on Charon's lips as he said the word champion. Charon was really happy that he had a champion like Mark, wasn't he? This damn tsundere.
