“O-oh, wow. I’m not sure if we could receive that. I mean, we wouldn’t even have gotten that without your help and—” Daniel, the leader of the Subjugation Squad was fidgeting as I offered to give them their share of the Demon Cores. As expected, the guy wasn’t the type to receive gifts when he felt he didn’t deserve them. “A-ahem!” A female voice interrupted Daniel’s nice-guy move.
