His face darkened, and the forehead lined with wrinkles throbbed with a protruding vein, his expression looking quite frightening.

"I said, I propose the use of the prisoners in my custody to participate in the mission to eliminate the Harvest Mother Cult. Of course, I will lead the team, and the office will provide intelligence support," Aiden calmly smiled.
To use Daili and Presia as pawns against the Cult blatantly, the approval of the Heretic Inquisition Office was necessary, after all; the opposition was an armed group – this wasn't something that could be passed off as prisoners "going out to work".
