"Warden."
After handling Ophelia's issue, Aiden heard Daili, from cell number twelve, call out to him from the doorway.
"What is it?" Aiden turned his head to look.
"This time, I assisted you in capturing the escaped convicts, I was wondering..." Daili paused with a meaningful undertone, smiling towards Aiden.
"Ah, rules are rules, you won't miss out on the benefits you deserve. However..." Aiden also paused deliberately, with a significantly meaningful smile.
"Of course, the demonic contract that was dissolved by convict 3340, I will resign it with you," Daili nodded in understanding.
From a purely transactional point of view, Aiden was confident that Daili and Asenna would not easily betray him; this incident was proof of that.
But to each his own, making use of these dangerous convicts was akin to dancing with wolves; he would never easily loosen the collars around their necks.
