[Considering that a good deal of the other Mayfielders that Edward usually interacted with hated him, harassed him, or threatened him on a regular basis, he'd be a fool not to admit how invaluable Ema and Scout were. They admired him. Respected him. Trusted his insight.
But in the end, Mayfield was a game of survival. And if there was one thing Edward excelled in, it was survival. Always have a good escape. He'd escaped Arkham enough times that it was second nature. He'd escaped Batman after their last encounter, making off with a fortune. He'd even escaped the threat of death, ridding himself of cancer in the Lazarus Pits.
He'd escaped Mayfield once. And he'd do it again.
Even if he planned to leave them in the dust, there was still some degree of honesty to Edward's scheme. He'd see to it that no matter what, she and Scout wouldn't be harmed. The Riddler was nonviolent by nature, and he didn't intend to leave this place with blood on his hands.]
