[ Loyalty Signature Detected. ]
[ A New Bond Has Been Forged. ]
[ Congratulations. Someone actually trusts you. Shock: 98% ]
[ Will You Accept Him? ]
'Sorry.. what?'
[ I won't repeat. That's a lazy way to increase word count. ]
I held back an abusive urge.
'At least tell me the deal? Since when could you do all this? How did you even detect loyalty? Did you buy a premium membership of metal detectors?'
[ I have some divinity, remember? I can do many things like this. And since I am tasked with making you overpowered again, having a team is also an asset. So that's what I am doing. ]
'I see. But do you think having Jack is an asset?'
"Er… You know I can hear you, pal."
"Stay shut." I barked. "You haven't been forgiven yet."
Jack wiped his eyes and remained kneeled.
The system finally answered:
[ No. He is a liability. But you are a liability too. So that cancels each other out and we are left with asset. That's basic maths. ]
I sighed.
