"What about laws? I'm your master, I'm the law to you... Don't you want to make your master happy?"

Uriel squirmed, her eyes swimming around. She seemed reluctant to do it, even for Xu Tao. As a last-ditch effort, she clenched her fists and raised her voice, trying to sound persuasive.
"B-But as expected, stealing isn't good, master!"
Xu Tao sighed, shrugging. "What stealing?" he said, leaning against the VR Pod as he slapped its lid lightly. "I'm just borrowing it."
