Criminals

Inside a virtual meeting, on a secret channel of the Galactic web.

Several figures who were doing their utmost to keep their identities a secret from each other sat with their obscured avatars facing each other, sitting around a round table.

"Ever since Alex rejected the Overseer's offer, we have been facing harsher and harsher conditions!"

One of the figures blared, not speaking to anyone in particular.

"We have to determine how to deal with this situation accordingly."

The figure who spoke was actually Donald, although the others in the call didn't know that.

But even if they did, they wouldn't be surprised or act any differently regardless.

Everyone there was of high status in the Federation, so meeting Donald, who was of the highest status as an S tier, was not that big of a deal to them.

"I would like to point something out."

One of the other figures spoke out in a calmer tone.
