The Greedy Demon

I said to them while knowing my pearl amount was much larger than that. In addition to this, I have more pearls coming in the way as long as my dispatched teams would emerge victorious at each quest.

However I knew how priceless pearls were in this world. For instance I still need to awaken more giants like my own, and that would consume much more of these pearls.

Besides those insects threatening my city were still a headache. If I couldn't find a way to decisively deal with them then I might need my pearls to act as decoys at some point.

Many things depended upon my pearls and I was pretty much sure my damn system wouldn't donate too much to me later on.

Yes I was going to have a load of them soon, but something told me this would be the last batch I would receive in a very long time.

"Only five?" the demon asked while glancing over the gears he had.
