"Well, that certainly wasn't what I expected to happen," Daniel muttered under his nose as he stared into the hole his colleague jumped into. He then tilted his head and looked at Mathew. "Would you mind elaborating further on the situation?"
Daniel didn't need to put pressure on the young man. A slight smile and raised eyebrow were enough of a hint for Mathew to catch on.
"The story is simple," the young man said as he shook his shoulder. "You know that my system allows me to take wives to strengthen them," Mathew said.
'I know it might not be wise to keep reminding him of that fact,' Mathew thought and bit his lips to the point his teeth cut them open. 'Still, humans are pack animals,' Mathew forced this truth to sink in.
He took a deep breath before slowly letting it go. He then raised his eyes to the policeman.
'We can't survive in this world without allies.'
