Thank You In Advance

Within the residence of the Stallard Clan…

"I agree to help you, Claude," the Monarch of the Stallard Clan, Norman Stallard, said. "In exchange, I want the exclusive rights to the Red-Scaled Warlord Pangolin. Also, I get a fifty-percent share of all the Monsters parts from the three Gates."

Claude remained calm on the surface, but deep inside, he was seething. However, if he didn't agree to Norman's condition, Glory City might get trampled to oblivion by the Monster Outbreak.

Right now, he needed to make a quick decision and look at the bigger picture. The price they had to pay was certainly steep, but there was really nothing else he could do given the situation.

"Fine," Claude replied. "Please mobilize right away. If the city is destroyed, I'll make sure to tell my father that you took your sweet time to help us while he's away."
